Jim Cornette said that he’s never seen Vince McMahon sneeze. He told a story about being incredibly sick and going to work anyway. He was very sick and showing it, but they carried on around him and did not offer for him to go home once.
Jim Cornette confirmed that this story is true. Vince McMahon tried to kill one of his writers over a road race.
They were at Dick Ebersol’s birthday party at a bowling alley. This executive said something to McMahon that he didn’t like so McMahon stole his shoes. McMahon later called him and said “that’s what you get, pal.” The NBC executive had to wear his bowling shoes home.
Jim Cornette confirmed this is true. Coachman was “arrested” for running a betting pool at work. Cornette said others in the pro wrestling business have pulled this rib including “they had Arn Anderson in the back of a police car in Charlotte at the coliseum allegedly on a statutory rape charge.” He said Arn was in the back seat of the police car looking very scared until he saw Tully Blanchard and Ric Flair standing there laughing at him.
Jim Cornette did confirm this. He wasn’t sure if it was a strip club or a hotel bar.
