Depending on where you are in the world, it might be breakfast/lunch/dinner/supper time when you read this. If so, apologies, especially if you're still captivated (or horrified) by that Vince McMahon snogging image whilst trying to enjoy some grub.

There's a point to this madness though.

On his excellent 'Grilling JR' podcast, iconic wrestling announcer Jim Ross revealed that Vinnie Mac would always crack the same joke right before shooting a scene that'd see him getting all smoochy with a member of the roster.

According to Jim, Vince would strut on up to him and say something to the effect of, 'Y'know, I got those Mick Jagger lips, JR!'. The line would crack Ross up, and probably caused everyone else in earshot to laugh too; the exception may have been the person McMahon was kissing.

They'd be rightly concerned that Vince was going to belt out classics like 'Paint It Black', '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction', 'Sympathy For The Devil' or 'Honky Tonk Women'.

It was all good however, 'cause Vinnie just wanted to break the ice on set. Critics of this approach should realise that 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'.

OK, enough. Sorry.
