Which WWE Star's Vignettes Did Vince McMahon Call "Trashy"?
"We don't want to air that".
"Goddamn, pal. She looks like a f*cking porn star!"
Those were Vince McMahon's words to a confused Bruce Prichard when the WWF lieutenant showed his boss Val Venis' latest vignettes back in 1998. McMahon wasn't enamoured with the footage Bruce had shot at home with Venis, and he couldn't understand why he'd pick Jenna Jameson to star alongside Val.
On his 'Something To Wrestle With' podcast, Prichard said he scratched his head when Vince added that the videos were "trashy" and that "we don't want to air that".
He then informed McMahon that Jameson wasn't just a porn star, she was the hottest porn star of the 90s, and that's why he'd drafted her in; Bruce had been introduced to Jenna through Paul Heyman after she worked some shows for ECW.
Prichard also had to explain to his wife why a naked porn actress was roaming around their home. Jameson and Val shot footage in Bruce's pool, his living room and even in his own bed. None of it appealed to McMahon at first, because he thought Jenna looked a little "trashy".
Point missed there, Vin man.
