Vince McMahon is one of the most infamous people in the professional wrestling business, and some would argue that he’s the most powerful man in the industry.
WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry knows this well, as the former World Heavyweight Champion explained to Heavy.com that he was legitimately planning to retire before he made his fake retirement speech, but Vince McMahon talked him out of it.
Henry then went on to share a story about Vince McMahon stopping traffic at Madison Square Garden, and he noted that he got Vince to admit he’s a G.
“Like once again, Vince is undefeated man…I remember 2012 or ’13, we were wrestling at Madison Square Garden and Vince had went around the wrong way to come into the building and they STOPPED the traffic on 34th Street and let Vince turn around his Bentley around in the street and drive head on into the traffic and turn the wrong way down another street to turn into the Garden.”
“I said man everybody can’t do that! They won’t do that for any athletes or celebrities. They wouldn’t do it for mayors. They probably won’t do it for a governor. Only a president can get that type of treatment – Vince McMahon! And he just bust out laughing. I said to him, ‘You a G ain’t you?’ he said, “Yeah I’m a G.” I got him to say that he’s a G And that was one of my proudest moments!”
