We've heard Vince McMahon is a micromanager. Are there any particularly crazy stories you've heard?

Vince McMahon was a fucking nut.

We’ve heard public stories about how he’s long placed the blame and pointed the finger at everyone else for his problems, and we’ve heard even more.

One situation came during the WrestleMania at Raymond James Stadium. Hulk Hogan was dressed as a pirate for the show, and was booed mercilessly. We’re told that at some point later in the evening, Hogan got permission from a writer to change out of the ridiculous outfit into something more brother brotherly.

Later on, McMahon saw Hogan out of the outfit, and had wanted Hogan to film additional content. McMahon was enraged, screaming at staff that they “ruined one of the greatest moments in WrestleMania history” by allowing a then-67 year old man to change out of a pirate costume.

Needless to say, nobody else agreed with Vince McMahon, and Hogan did not see the big deal. He had to tell Vince McMahon how uncomfortable the costume was in, and even then, McMahon made a number of snide remarks.
