2. Vince McMahon Is Insane (Again)

Chris Jericho, much like all of us, is fascinated by the very existence of Vince McMahon - and told a fabulous story in connection with him on Q With Tom Power.

Per Y2J, he and McMahon got p*ssed up on a flight from Orlando to New York. This was wrestling drunk, presumably, not your basic six pints and a few shots drunk. McMahon flew Jericho on his private jet because he was off to do press rounds in the morning. The plane touched down at 4:30AM, at which point Jericho, understandably, fancied a brief bit of kip. Vince McMahon, being better and stronger than all of us, was astonished at the very notion of succumbing to the body's natural impulses. "I've got to go to work," he said. Jericho bowed out and went to sleep. When he woke up, he was greeted by a picture message sent by McMahon, in which the geriatric jackhammer flipped him the bird while bench pressing 275 pounds. Either McMahon was working him - and there's evidence to support this, considering his total inability to operate a telephone during McMahon Million Dollar Mania - or the man is miles more insane than any of us could have conceived.

He's still bench pressing on with the Roman Reigns top babyface thing, so yes. Very insane.
