According to Paul Heyman, Vince McMahon had an infamous disdain for sneezing, believing it to be a sign of weakness simply because he couldn't control it. A similar level of unhinged thinking was on full display in 2005 when McMahon decided that a man's real-life health struggles were the perfect subject for his brand of below-the-belt comedy.
Rather than showing even a shred of human decency, the Chairman dedicated over seven figuratively agonising minutes of valuable television time to mocking Jim Ross’ legitimately agonising colon surgery. What followed was one of WWE’s most tasteless and embarrassing segments.
