• Vince McMahon Always Had A Thing For Farting & Pooping, Says Ex Mr. Money In The Bank
Former Mr. Money In The Bank Mr. Kennedy shared a strange story about Vince McMahon’s behavior during his time running the company, claiming the former WWE Chairman used to make writers and talent uncomfortable during creative meetings.
Speaking on the Mic Check podcast, Kennedy revealed that McMahon would occasionally let out loud farts in meetings just to watch people squirm, particularly when surrounded by young wrestlers or nervous members of the writing team.
“He would fart! His diet was like a lot of protein and there would be a group of talent… younger and greener talent and writers. The thing about the writers is they were always on eggshells, with the exception of a few. They had the hardest job in the world, basically working 365 days a year, constantly trying to write with no off-season or downtime.
They’re coming up with ideas, and Vince is like, ‘Are you f**king stupid?’ So these people are trying to be creative, like, ‘Oh, I have to say something, here I go.’ Then he goes, ‘Are you f**king stupid? Who’d come up with something so stupid?’ Then he would fart, just to watch people squirm. He’d love stuff like that. Loved it.
No one called him out. He’d be like, ‘That’s my gas, ha ha.’ He always had something about farting and pooping.”
• Former Champion Says WWE Ruined His Huge Momentum With Boring Promos
On Chris Van Vliet’s Insight podcast, Dolph Ziggler discussed multiple times WWE had the chance to elevate him but chose not to.
He pointed to Survivor Series 2014 as the biggest missed opportunity – when he single-handedly eliminated The Authority and received a standing ovation. He said fans saw him as the underdog hero, yet WWE followed that momentum with scripted promos full of “boring” dialogue.
“I was ready to be a top babyface,” he said. “Instead, they gave me two pages of lines about wanting to entertain people.”
Ziggler also recalled similar missed chances after Money In The Bank wins and strong feuds with Seth Rollins, where he was constantly stopped short.
He acknowledged that everyone in WWE experiences “start-stop pushes,” but in his case, it happened repeatedly – often when he was connecting most with fans.
Ziggler later noted that Vince McMahon never saw him as “the top guy.”
“Vince liked my work, but didn’t believe I should be the World Champion,” said Ziggler.
• Eric Bischoff Reveals The Real Reason He Booked Hulk Hogan vs. The Giant’s Monster Truck Match
In one of the more infamous matches in WCW history, Hulk Hogan faced The Giant (later known as The Big Show in WWF/E) in a Monster Truck Showdown at Halloween Havoc 1995. During his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff finally explained what led to that bizarre concept.
According to Bischoff, the idea came from talks with agent Barry Bloom, who represented the Bigfoot monster truck brand. Bischoff saw it as a potential crossover between two powerful fanbases.
“It wasn’t just random craziness,” he said. “I thought, what if we can create a licensing deal between WCW and Bigfoot – toys, merchandise, pay-per-view crossover. It made business sense at the time.”
He admitted, though, that the execution went off the rails after the storyline had Hogan throw The Giant off a rooftop.
“That’s where we screwed it up,” Bischoff laughed. “We went from marketing opportunity to murder mystery.”
Despite the outcome, Bischoff still defends the ambition behind the idea, calling it “one of the most creative swings” WCW ever took.
