The Godfather couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Vince McMahon at his private 80th birthday celebration — because to him, the former WWE boss looked straight out of an Austin Powers movie.

On his Poddin’ Ain’t Easy podcast, the Hall of Famer recalled thanking McMahon for the invite and being struck by his outfit.

“I’m like, ‘Vince, thank you for inviting me.’ He goes, ‘Charles, I just want you to know there’s nobody here that’s not my true friend.’ And we talked for a second and then we walked in, but he had on, like, a Dr. Evil suit. I didn’t want to say it to him but, first of all, he looked better than when I’ve seen pictures of him lately, he looks a lot better than that. He’s walking a lot better than that. He introduced me to his girlfriend or whatever she was. But I thought, Dr. Evil, you’re Dr. Evil.”

The Undertaker noticed it too, according to Godfather.

“I go in, everybody of course is talking to Vince. He gets to me and Taker are talking and Kane and [Vince] walks away and Taker goes, ‘Dude, Vince looking like Dr. Evil.’ I’m like, ‘Dude, that’s exactly what I was thinking!’”

While the party also featured big names like John Cena, Kane, JBL, and even a live performance from Jelly Roll, the Dr. Evil comparison ended up being the moment that stuck out most for Godfather.

Phones and cameras weren’t allowed inside the bash, leaving fans to rely on stories like this to picture how McMahon carried himself on his big night.

Do you think Vince McMahon pulling off a “Dr. Evil” look suits his reputation, or was it just an unintentional coincidence? Share your thoughts in the comments.
