Former WWE chairman Vince McMahon has always encouraged WWE Superstars to make high jumps and perform risky moves that could land the company in trouble. Even though other officials, including Triple H, objected to this, Vince never let anything stand in his way. Now former WWE superstar Dolph Ziggler has revealed that Vince had a very unique trick to convince wrestlers to perform the moves he wanted. He said that Vince would never ask a talent to do something he wouldn’t have done.
“He would never ask you to do something that he wouldn’t do. And you’re like, ‘Yeah, right. Would he do this?’ And you go, ‘Yes, he absolutely would.’ The most ridiculous thing that you could picture in your mind that would embarrass you to death, he would do it,” said Ziggler while speaking on the Busted Open Radio.
Triple H advised this to young talents
“The Showoff” said there were times when other superstars, including Triple H, would tell the younger wrestlers not to fall for Vince’s influence, but he always got his way. Ziggler stated that when he was in the later stages of life, there were times when Triple H or somebody else would say, “Don’t let him jump off that thing. Don’t let him get hit. Don’t let him get kicked in the face. We will be liable here.”
Ziggler praised McMahon’s willpower
According to him, Vince McMahon’s offer to jump off tall buildings and get punched in the face even at the age of 70 was to show wrestlers that they shouldn’t be afraid to do it themselves. And despite this, “The Game” would tell superstars not to let the former WWE chairman do it to them. Still, Dolph Ziggler says he is impressed by McMahon’s willpower. The discussion about Vince and his character, Mr. McMahon, has increased in the last few weeks due to the recently released Netflix docuseries, which is based on his life. The documentary shows negative sides of McMahon, who has already been out of the public eye since former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a sex trafficking lawsuit against him.
