Vince Mcmahon is somebody i respect. Wrestling wouldn't be here if Vince wasn't the chairman. Thanks for making WWE a great entertainment over the years.
when mike tyson was younger, he actually fought and use to spar with Lennox Lewis and had even knocked out Lewis the first time they fought (i think it was around the time of tyson first getting into the pros)
the rock debtued in 96 and was champion in 98 just 2 years later. the rock was i c champ just a few months after he debuted. the rock was pushed. and heavily pushed. he was put in the nation to further develop himself and when he did he left and won the title.
If Costas really wanted to give a compelling interview he should have really pushed the drug issue. It seems as long as McMahon makes money no one will really pressure him on that subject.
@str8desi yes but he was half Samoan and the Rock wasn't pushed straight away was he he had to do the whole Nation of Domination as well as win the IC title the point is that if your black in the wrestling world you have to wait for your title shot i mean look at Kofi He is nowhere near getting pushed and he's a very talented athlete
@IDante1Savage Which makes what he said about Sheik stupid. He did the Hassan character several years into 9/11 and took advantage of how America felt.
Vince only thinks that 2 1/2% of his audience thinks wrestling is "real"?? It's ten times better now than it was back in the 80's and 90's, but I think it's a little higher than 2%. I would guess maybe 15-20%.
You talkin about "black" champs? the Rock is NOT black. He said it himself. He' Samoan, and in case you didn't get the memo: there is NO country called "black".
look do you honestly think vince would move an event to an arena holding 16,000 if they had sold 100,000 tickets? the "sniper" story is an excuse. Type in "wrestlemania VII ticket sales" into google. Either they hadnt sold any tickets or vince had to do about 84,000 refunds, hmmmmmm?......
are you serious?-do you really believe vince is going to openly admit that they didnt sell enough tickets, he's a businessman trying to make his product look good, not a complete idiot. It's well documented they didnt sell enough tickets. He could have moved it to much larger indoor venues, why one which only holds 16,000? Major city like LA-could have picked from loads of arenas, face it the story is full of holes.
Vince: "listening to our audiences" ... What a laugh ... Vince listening to his audience ... lol. The asshole does whatever he wants in his little land of make-believe. He never listens to his audience unless he is backed into a corner and facing bankruptcy (Monday Night Wars).
Vince is a brilliant business man. He put himself in harms way multiple times in order to put over a storyline.
vince is always awesome in interviews
Vince Mcmahon is somebody i respect. Wrestling wouldn't be here if Vince wasn't the chairman. Thanks for making WWE a great entertainment over the years.
I respect Vince on the comments he made about Mike Tyson.
vince is a legend.Everyone has flaws.
Props to Vince !
Vince is a genius in business
Vince AND Charlie Sheen. That's one batshit crazy show Costas was doing that night.
Vince is the best damn business man.
No, he's not- every outside business venture he has tried has failed.
Mike is still the man and a bigger star than any of the guys he has fought, win or lose. True Legend
Vinces hair makes him look like he's always suprised
tyson is the reason wwe is still in business
lmao, i was just about to bring that up. The "stooges" killed me with that shit..."Mack-Mayon"
when mike tyson was younger, he actually fought and use to spar with Lennox Lewis and had even knocked out Lewis the first time they fought (i think it was around the time of tyson first getting into the pros)
theyre just above 60K now for WM this year
the rock debtued in 96 and was champion in 98 just 2 years later. the rock was i c champ just a few months after he debuted. the rock was pushed. and heavily pushed. he was put in the nation to further develop himself and when he did he left and won the title.
hahaha!
"What're we gowna do mister MACK-MAYON?"
wwe= Winning Winning Entertainment !
Haha Vince was slightly off with his Tyson/Lewis prediction. Lennox destroyed Mike!
If Costas really wanted to give a compelling interview he should have really pushed the drug issue. It seems as long as McMahon makes money no one will really pressure him on that subject.
Mike Tyson is such a big star, even Vince Mcmahon respects him... Boxers these days like Mayweather is nobody compared to tyson!
Hey thats Bob Coastas with Sunday night football on NBC now.
or Ron "Farooq" Simmons (he was WCW World Champ in the early 90's)
when will we see a shoot interview of the sign guy and hat guy from ecw?
Yes, vince stick to "predicting" wrestling matches. Not real sports.
@SlapstickDizzy
Do you own a television? Have you ever watched ANY sports? 'The guy' interviewing him is Emmy award winning broadcaster Bob Costas.
Ya can tell vince is trying to keep his cool here🤣
@Stargate174 lol this interview was 2002, muhammed hassan debut 2004-5.
@ThaTopDogg13
He's half black, people don't generally ask to be told about a half black guy when they ask if there was ever a black WWE champ.
Mike Tyson will destroy Lennox Lewis in three rounds. Okay Vince, didn't quite work out that way did it?
don't quit the day job Vince because if memory serves me right it was Tyson that got destroyed
@ThaTopDogg13 Actually I think Rocky is part Samoan and part Black, so not full black. But your point is valid.
@hitmancoolio
Bro the only reason why VKM was biggin up Tyson is cause him appearing on RAW saved him from being put out of business by WCW
Precisely what I was saying. That is why I was estimating about 15% or so. Kids make up a large portion of today's audience.
@vincentrich yeah, because it wasn't about the current wwe.
3:55 lol welcome back Mike..more like Mike Tyson ..U GOT KNOCK THE FUCK OUT lol
what was the record for the citrus bowl?? something like 74,000? i dont remember
@MartyMoves The Rock's dad is black. Does that not make The Rock part black?
Bob Coastas is a short man.
5'3 1/2" tops
LOL
Based on this very inaccurate prediction Vinces expertise is not boxing.
I also respected him as a businessman at one point but after seeing a bret hart documentary I came to realize this man is nothing but a conman.
that stuff about having to move the sheik match to an indoor venue is complete rubbish-they moved the venue because they had not sold enough tickets.
Nah, most people these days do know that wrestling is fake, mainly due to the internet. Only kids buy wrestling as real these days.
@str8desi yes but he was half Samoan and the Rock wasn't pushed straight away was he he had to do the whole Nation of Domination as well as win the IC title the point is that if your black in the wrestling world you have to wait for your title shot i mean look at Kofi He is nowhere near getting pushed and he's a very talented athlete
what about mohammed hassan
@ThaTopDogg13 The Rock was Samoan and Booker had to wait what 5 years before he got a world title run after the invasion
Lol Vince thought we'd all see the old Mike back, Mike Tyson Prime is loooong gone, and we'll never see it again.
got that right lmfao
@IDante1Savage Which makes what he said about Sheik stupid. He did the Hassan character several years into 9/11 and took advantage of how America felt.
Vince only thinks that 2 1/2% of his audience thinks wrestling is "real"?? It's ten times better now than it was back in the 80's and 90's, but I think it's a little higher than 2%. I would guess maybe 15-20%.
yap and was pulled fast after.
not fedor
ever heard of The Rock or Booker T
Post 9/11 characters? lol Anyone remember 2005?
You talkin about "black" champs? the Rock is NOT black. He said it himself. He' Samoan, and in case you didn't get the memo: there is NO country called "black".
look do you honestly think vince would move an event to an arena holding 16,000 if they had sold 100,000 tickets? the "sniper" story is an excuse. Type in "wrestlemania VII ticket sales" into google. Either they hadnt sold any tickets or vince had to do about 84,000 refunds, hmmmmmm?......
Tyson Vs Lewwis. He was certainly wrong there ;)
are you serious?-do you really believe vince is going to openly admit that they didnt sell enough tickets, he's a businessman trying to make his product look good, not a complete idiot. It's well documented they didnt sell enough tickets. He could have moved it to much larger indoor venues, why one which only holds 16,000? Major city like LA-could have picked from loads of arenas, face it the story is full of holes.
@ThaTopDogg13 rock wasnt fully black
Mike Tyson in 3 rounds.....Really??? 🤣🤣🤣
Wow vince could not have got it more wrong..
Just a bit off on that Tyson prediction
@mazzoanV2 hahahahaha that's hilarious...tyson saved vince from being put out of business by wcw....seriously lol
@apoopsc lol oh well Tyson is still a bad ass in my book
mike tyson will destroy lennox, eh????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
Brock Lesnar. He can't whoop ANYONES ass from the UFC. Boxers are no good if they get taken to the ground.
Vince: "listening to our audiences" ...
What a laugh ... Vince listening to his audience ... lol. The asshole does whatever he wants in his little land of make-believe. He never listens to his audience unless he is backed into a corner and facing bankruptcy (Monday Night Wars).
your kidding right?
Seriously Vince doesn’t have clue about boxing
well tyson failed
Annoying Interviewer
