Undoubtedly one of the most important wrestling interviews ever documented. Thank you for sharing this piece of history with us.
Gonna cry and try to defend these facts snowflakes? I’ll wait🍿😘😉🤣😎. This is why AEW is beating WWE cause they know how to push new younger talent, doesn’t have the same matches every week and does long term booking. WWE doesn’t do long term booking, doesn’t push newer stars, does the same matches pretty much every week, relies part timers, pipes in fake crowd noises on tv and makes soo much money which causes them to go into lazy mode not caring about pushing younger talent and building up the future. Why do you think most of them left WWE and most of them are in AEW now lmao! Cause Tony knows how to build for the future while Vince still relies on the past but again, I’ll wait to see what y’all’s next excuse will be to these facts. Please continue🍿😘😉🤣😎.
@@SUKADIK4 what is your problem???
Literally nobody said anything about aew or anything.
@@SUKADIK4 LOL!!!!! We got a nutjob over here. Hopefully someone is keeping an eye on you.
@@SUKADIK4 how are they beating WWE when Raw/Smackdown get higher ratings? Please don’t tell me you’re talking about NXT aka Triple A lol. Also, most of the dudes going to AEW from the WWE were fired haha.
@@SUKADIK4 Much respect to AEW but no one is beating Vince. On CZcams alone, WWE has 86 Billion views while AEW has 1 Billion.
Vince doesn't do interviews, and I had never seen him this relaxed and open in an interview before. It was awesome.
The whole point of the interview is to set up their Wrestlemania Match
Because this was a softball interview I hope Vince wore a condom 🤣
@Trevor Lombardi yeah, almost all his interviews get tense at some point lol. It could be Vince becoming more mellow or just Pat putting him at ease as he usually does with his guests. Vince was on longer than I expected as well.
@@amaddenmind4597 lol it wasn't a confrontational interview or you bet Vince would have gotten confrontational as well. But there were good questions to learn about the more human side of Vince and to get a glimpse into his thought process.
Lame...he is a delusional old sociopath..And Pat and the rest of the dweebs laugh at everything he said.
At 1:10:03 Vince gives the key to success. Never take your bad mood into the next room. That is so true. What a great interview.
he for sure dosent follow that advice lol
@@dmoney7784 you mean to tell me the level-headed and mentally calm Vincent Kennedy McMahon is prone to anger and outbursts??
@@bingbong5290 gasp shock horror!😱
That's what you wanna do as a waiter.
And being one for ten years now, I can tell you, that's *not* the key to success
@@dmoney7784 he means for important related business situations with the more corporate side. With the in house WWE personal he has a lot more freedom & can do whatever he wants of course.
Time for a follow up interview. Go get it, Pat!
in prison lmao
It’s been said a dozen times but I can’t stress enough THIS IS A BIG DEAL!!!! Congrats to Pat and the team for landing such a huge interview!

@@artembless7914 typical n*****
@@artembless7914 People are fans of wrestling. Why are you even here?
@@artembless7914 that’s what you got out of my comment? And this is how you choose to communicate w/ people online? Best of luck to you big dawg.
@@artembless7914 "Go live your real life"......That is ironic af considering what your here complaining about.
Love him or hate him,Vince has shaped more childhoods than you can count. He made some of my favourite memories with my mom, watching WWE twice a week. The man is an absolute legend. Thank you Vince
He's seriously the most complicated dude on the planet to me. I both love and hate him so much. It's crazy.
@@danbackslide1712 he made the pg era but also the attitude era so that's reasonable.
Absolutely spot on. I was born in 1990 and when we would go to Blockbuster I would always rent WWF paper views. I remember renting Stone Cold vs HBK or Stone Cold Jake the Snake, ect. I could go on for days and day with the wrestling matches I remember renting. You want a N64 game? No I want a Summer Slam VHS or whatever.
Yup ruined my childhood by taking Hogan, Mean Gene, and the Brain away from the AWA 🤬🤣
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Man Vince actually seems like a really great guy! He’s funny and charming. I’m glad we got to see this side of him after all these years.
They should've played his theme
guy’s truly a weirdo
@@unholybrat why cause he has a personality?
@@jasonflores9576 lmao sure he does... lol go listen to jim corvette
@@jasonflores9576 i wouldn’t call trying to book incest storylines “having a personality” but you do you!❤️
This has to be the best interview I’ve seen on the show…and it wasn’t football related in the least!!
You are living my dreams... My God, Pat got Vince McMahon. Vince has been the name synonymous with wrestling for the past 40 years, The entire wrestling world is tuned into this very interview. This is incredible.
I hope you changed your underwear (if you even wear any).
@JONATHAN Barragan You right. Getting an interview with Vince McMahon the pioneer of wrestling who rarely does any interviews, in particular live one's, is not incredible at all. You bozo.
Waiittt a miiinnnuteeee. Love your content also bro 😂
Smh the same guy who gave his son-in law a heart attack and single handed ruined pro wrestling
Love you adonis
This was one of PM’s bookmark interviews! Hands dahn!

This and Brock’s
You mean 'Prime Minister' right?
Benchmark?
@@GRITBONE Don’t overthink it sugarplum!😂😂😂
CZcams you sure have a sick sense of humor recommending me this video NOW of all times
Same😂
dude, im surprised ESPN still leaving comments open
The 44 year old women didnt want to do it vince sent those text not knowing she was a freak and liked trains lol
Lmfao 😂😂😂😂
Yeah just had mine today...what a pile of ****
Vince is just a complete boss when you walk into a room with him in it there’s nothing but a yes sir and thank you. He truly is a legend and not many gives him the credit but again he is a low key guy ! Thank you Vince McMahon!
Mr President McMahon has a nice ring to it.
🫣
I know we say this with every Pat McAfee interview of a wrestler, but this is the most human I've ever seen Vince.
I remember feeling bad for him while the crowd would Chant ASSHOLE at him. What can I say, I thought it was real at that age🤣
He's also been on Howard Stern's radio show as well.
I sais the same thing about Brock Interview
Pat could have hit him with one or two hard hitting questions at least. He just praised him non stop.
@@KliqDon1983 and?
The fact Pat was satisfied with the interview and probably didn’t want to keep Vince long but Vince said keep going shows you how much he cares already.
shows hes a terrible interviewer, too.
@@matthewalkman386 oh shut up keyboard warrior why are you watching then 🙄
It honestly shows how comfortable Vince was with Pat and how much he respects the platform.
@@matthewalkman386 thing is he’s not treating it as an interview, Pat treats it as a conversation.
@@carlosruiz9246
Bingo
You are a high IQ person
Its always an honor to listen to Vince. He did a couple of these in the early 2000s and its been a while but you can tell he still loves the business.
I love to see how much Vince genuinely cares about the people he brought up through the WWE, and it’s humbling to see him literally cringe at praise to his achievements and successes. Also, it’s really nice to see him light up anytime creativity is brought into the conversation
Vince's face when pat was doing his little promo after offering the mania match, was gold !
Well this aged well...😂😂
This will be one of the most re-watched interviews in the shows history...it was fantastic.
Pat rodé his dick the whole interview …softball ass questions
@@DannyCosmos Good thing you've got your own show to ask him the tough questions then. Can't wait to hear them.
@@DannyCosmos so what’s wrong with “soft ball” questions? Is he supposed to be a dick to his guests (plus Vince is one of his bosses)? A good interviewer gets their guests talking. I was a Pat hater for awhile. Thought he was full of himself and fake. I’ve grown to admire him and love his interview style. Few if any are better at their craft
@@555dking I too was a pat hater. I was very wrong. I admire him he's a super good guy and hard worker
@@BlkFreakozoid Just because you're karening about it doesn't make him wrong tho..
The fact that pat got Vince McMahon on the show is absolutely amazing. Just goes to show how big and successful this show is. Good job guys!
Helps he one top announcers on show
I think it just shows what Vince thinks of Pat
I won't lie. I haven't seen this show but based on what you guys say Pat is very popular. I just viewed this video because it's being announced that Undertaker's induction was made on here and Vince is here
even though that's his boss. I would be scare if he appears on my show
In person nonetheless!
Dude that was legit one of the best guests on this show. I'm not even a big wrestling fan but how can you not like listening to Vince? Wow
Pat was so excited to do this interview, and I was just as enthusiastic to watch. Vince is charming, humble and represents my childhood bro. What a kind man, to extend the interview. He's incredible. WE LOVE YOU VINCE!
It is genuinely nice to hear him say something like "it's not work". That's what I strive for in my life and he is a very real inspiration whether people think he's an a**hole or not.
He betrayed his own father
@Ispeakfactsnotopinions3 hes talking about him enjoying what he does for a living not shut up AEW fanboy lol
@@jfitvlogs1583 let him talk ..AEW marks are the worst easily ...
@@jfranck9186 Fandoms of any persuasions are cringe. Its ok to like every promotion
@Ispeakfactsnotopinions3
How sad is your life that you felt the need to post this same comment on at least 10 other replies?
You seem like the kind of guy that smells the toilet paper after wiping
Between Brock and Vince, Pat has conducted in my opinion, the best interviews that I've ever listened to. I feel like these 2 interviews were free master classes for me. I can't thank you enough Pat. Thanks to you and the boys.
They really were great, I really didn't expect Vince to be on here.
I just respect the fact that he never interrupts them. He’s there to listen then ask the questions when the chance comes
Totally agree dude!
Brock was ridiculously good
He says “obviously” a bit too much…
I remember a co-worker of mine, a huge wrestling fan, got the opportunity to meet Vince when WWE was in our office. Vince and Steph were gracious and friendly to him and that really made his day. Even though they were there for business, they took a few minutes to interact with a fan. Props to both of them.
This interview is amazing from start to finish. I have a massive amount of respect for Vince. It shows how passionate he is about wrestling still after all these years. Love Vince or hate him wrestling became what it is today because of this man !
Awesome interview! "Don't believe in ceilings.", "Don't listen to the negatives. A negative is always double negative because it takes you away from something positive.", "Separate yourself, and be who you want to be." , Etc...
Cool to see this side of Vince. Good stuff!
Pat got Vince and brock on the show 2 people who never do interviews what a Damn legend
That's what I was thinking, I heard he was gonna be on an thought it was bs I said yea he got brock but Vince??? An he dam sure did!!
Don't use god's name in vain smh
@Top Lobster LOL. WWE is not threatened by AEW. They do not take jabs on the latter promotion while the former does.
@Top Lobster They should not for a moment, or go tell 'em during their board meeting when market share/rate is discussed.
@Top Lobster tell us...what is it about aew that should make the WWE scared?
Raw gets more viewers than both aew shows combined against stiffer competition. SmackDown does over 1.5 times what both of their shows combined.
NXT 2.0 ...a wholly developmental program has a similar viewership as Rampage... AEW's B show.
The WWE makes more from one Saudi show than AEW makes all year.
Infact the WWE makes more money off of CZcams every month as aew made from their last Ppv.
There is ZERO reason for the WWE to be scared of AEW... especially when they see TK potentially getting hoodwinked for the ROH deal.
Pat McAfee. Absolutely INCREDIBLE interview. You got my Like and Subscription. It was a treasure to hear the Legendary Vince share his interesting stories. You were a FUN, RESPECTFUL Interviewer that showed interest in Vince's words and letting him talk when it was time to. Keep it up, will tune into your other Wrestling Interviews.
Guess you missed the part at around minute 50 where Vince was annoyed that Pat didn't let him talk
An hour and a half interview and the entire thing was so good. The wisdom Vince has collected over his years is something every young person should really absorb.
44:00 Pat’s wrapping up. Vince goes for almost another hour. Simply amazing conversation
I loved that! “That’s it?” 🤣🤣 total cool guy!
I love how Pat has the balls to be unapologetically himself in front of one of the most intimidating presences around. When you shared a field with Manning though it makes sense. You can see Vince genuinely likes him because of it though.
But pat is also kind of super annoying. I just wish he would shut up whole time and Vince would just talk. Lol
@@verwesne8121 its a freaking interview dude you can't expect him to shut up, he needs to seize this very rare opportunity to ask as much as he can
He's too invested in holding that can and putting it straight down for a shameless plug🤭
Vince said it himself. He likes confrontation so it’s safe to assume he respect Pat.
lol bruh what balls? This is his boss, he didn’t askk him anything that we didn’t already know.
The day Vince passes away I swear I’m sheet a lot of tears …. He has Made me smile so many years and his still making me smile till this day just by watching wrestling
I thank you for that Vince ….
When he goes WWE will truly be dead
Clowns the both of you.
All that’s gone now 😅😅😅is
lmaooo you might wanna re think those tears my guy. You hero is a nasty dude
@@user-jy1eo2ch8j regardless either his guilty or not which is non of my business he still made my child hood amazing with WwF/wwe now days
This man not only shaped many peoples careers. He also shaped many peoples childhoods and made them who they are today. So many lessons learned from WWE over the past two decades. And for me personally, I probably wouldn't be me if I never watched WWE
I haven't watched wrestling since the Attitude Era, but this is still one of the best interviews I have ever watched. Pat McAfee is THE premier interviewer in the sports industry, no question
Same here!
Ariel
Try AEW. WWE isnt the standard anymore. They are the Simpsons of wrestling.
I would add Steve Austin to that as well. hell of an interviewer.
@@beatles123 we could have told him try nxt up until September of last year. Just missed nxt’s golden years
"Whenever I get hit by a bus today, I just want one second, before I kick to say thank you."
Man, this line made me tear up a little.
the most human line ever one thing i will take from this interview
"if"
You know it’s going to be a WWE bus
can you please tell me what this line means? sorry English is not my first language, thoughts will be appreciated.
@@juanpru1291 Well I was looking through my aunt Jackie's closet and found a DVD. I put it in and it was of her getting pounded by my former math teacher Mr. brown
Wow.. immense amounts of respect to Vince for countless childhood memories. Now even with me being 22 he's still and even more so a inspiration the way he handled business and took the professional wrestling corporation to the highest level is almost surreal. He seems humble and like a cool funny guy
Love the interview, the closest shoot interview we’ll probably ever get from him! Thanks to the team for making this possible
Pat: Michael Cole, 25years in to this thing...
Vince: Horrible human being
The reaction from the boys to Vince's reaction is one of the best parts of this show 🤣
Vince: really horrible
(continues laughing) 🤣🤣🤣
Bayley felt this and she is laughing maniacally
@@Necropantz he doesnt know either. but, he has been around for 20 something years and like he said, they be family. you dont kick out your drunken uncle from the family cuz he's a drunk.
Whys he such horrible guy? Am I missing something 🤣
I’m gonna miss Vince McMahon when’s he gone. Even tho people don’t like him but for 30+ plus years you gotta put some respect on his name after everything he’s done for WWE over the years.
Me too
It's interesting to see him doing an interview like this, maybe he is sick and just hasn't let it out yet and is starting to do things he would never do.
The people that don’t like Vince are pro wrestling “fans”. They are ignorant in many ways.
Indeed man like he made my child hood in a way. All the memories etc. Vince is a goat 🐐
I just hope WWE is kept in the family and not sold to those who don’t appreciate the huge brand it is
Vince is a legend, a living tank. What a hellava honor to have Vince in your studio talking away.
Aged like milk
This was amazing! Vince is part of everyone’s childhood. Especially us 80’s kids and beyond.
I have never watched a Pat McAfee show before, and hate that I haven't.. this interview is 100% a real gem. New fan. Subbed!

I haven't watched WWE since Batista HHH Orton AND Ric Flair were evolution..I also miss the attitude era so much. This interview with Vince was AMAZING I've never seen this side of him. This interview has made me a fan again. Looking forward to seeing you at WrestleMania! Congrats Pat and the boys you guys deserve everything you have. Keep being you.
Gentlemen! Can't thank you enough for this interview. Mr. McMahon is every bit as amazing of a human being as I thought he'd be. Pat, thanks for bringing your authenticity to everything you do. Salute.
This aged worse than Milk 🥛
Ppl can say what they want about Vince but that dude gave me a safe place to come to when I was living in the house with an extremely abusive father, Monday nights and Sunday mornings where the few good memories I remember from my childhood I will forever be a fan of his for that

It took a lot of actual therapy to get to a place of peace but I’ve forgiven my father it wasn’t easy but we are good now….I hope your story turns out great…it’s not easy but it can be what you want it to be ❤️🙏🏾
I’ll be 30 this year and I’ve been watching since the 90’s! Vince has bought me a lot of great memories and excitement….till this day still does! I will forever be thankful for what Vince has done for me as a fan!

Oh god , just listening to this man melts my heart. he is my role model in life. just I have great respect for him. I love Vince. He is just another man... he is from another world.
This was an awesome interview. A lot of great advice from Vince on how to handle your business.
It felt like we were dreaming lmao seeing Vince this relaxed. Much respect to Pat and the team!
That just Pat for you, he doesn't try to push a agenda or anything on people. Everyone always seem just relax around him.
He needs to relax when running his show
Y'all maybe way too young. This is the same man that made the attitude and ruthless aggression eras where he himself would make storylines that made himself looks ridiculous.

So fascinating
And the way he talks about leadership, and his struggles
Grew up watching wrestling, some of my favorite moments are WWF related. Can't say I've watched it much past the Attitude Era, but watch recent clips here and there on youtube but can honestly say that this is one of the best interviews I've seen and actually enjoyed Vince's outlook on life and mindsets :) Thanks for this!
That's one of the best interviews Vince has ever done. Laid back, humble, funny. We got to see a little of the human side of Mr. McMahon. Great show, Pat!! Good luck at 'Mania!!

That was one awesome interview - full of some outstanding and revealing insights into what has made WWE what it is. I was at my first WrestlemaniA last week in DALLAS, and WOW - WHAT A SHOW and FULL BLOWN EXPERIENCE. We are restoring PROGRESS in the UK, and there is also something to learn from such an experience. I loved Vince's unquenchable passion and joy for everything he has done - Thanks everyone for such a cool interview - Martyn / co-owner, PROGRESS WRESTLING
Love this, Pat is one of the best things to happen to WWE for years and Vince's business mind is something I would love to deep dive more into. Great content
Vince came off better in this interview than in any other I've seen him, and I've watched them all. As fans we see the business decisions and we forget that its a publicly traded company, but I still think Vince has a unique mind, whatever decision he makes that we don't like, he has earned the right to make.
Because other people antagonize him. They would hammer him on steroids and drugs and stupid things and he would get pissed. This one was laid back it seems and comfortable
It's like bands; fans want their team to succeed until they get so big they have to adhere to the business norms to survive. They'll never understand because they're not ambitious.
@@marklupo3441 oh no. How dare they challenge him, the guy who claims to love confrontation.
He came off better because this was a clear fluff piece.
Unique mind? Burying the talent because they try isnt unique
The fact that you got "Vince Mcmahon " to sit down and talk for almost 2 hours is great achievement in itself 😱🙈. Congratulations Pat
great achievement seems like an understatement. McMahon giving an interview this long is simply unheard of. Wow.
@Ispeakfactsnotopinions3 It's hard not to run with the past/washed legends like WWE. Their superstars were on another tier, compared to any current AEW star.
This is so refreshing! I love seeing Vince just talking and joking around like a normal human being. Lol! He has such an aura of being bigger than life that you forget he's just a human being like the rest of us. Great stuff Pat! Love the show and this interview was fantastic!
Vince is a normal human being though. Just a successful one
My childhood memories in the early 80s and 90s thank you Vince Mcmahon 🔥🔥🔥
Hearing Vince say he didnt consider this interview work, was out here for fun and even asked to be on the show is amazing
Pat and the boys werent too intrusive with the questions and Vince felt genuine with his answers
Awesome interview!
This was awesome. It seems Vince really does want to open up, he just doesn't want to do it on his own.

This was a historic interview. You don't get Vince on your podcast. Pat did. This is legendary and a great interview.
This is probably the most crucial piece of Professional Wrestling media ever produced. Considering the position of the WWE now mere months after this aired, as well as the fact this is probably the only podcast Vince has ever done outside of Stone Colds...Pat is next level and this shows the direction sports media should follow.
This is 100% the best Vince McMahon interview he’s ever done. He’s relatable, shows humility, and has a good sense of humor. Very relaxed. Great job!!
@Ispeakfactsnotopinions3 you definitely watch way more than I do, seems like you are looking to convince the wrong guy. For you..They say that people tend to be reverse fans of the people or brands they don’t like yet can’t ignore. Is it the content or the person that has you watching Vince and wwe?
@Ispeakfactsnotopinions3 I'm not going to say that you're wrong but you got to give people a chance you know Vince is a businessman and whenever you're working you have to focus on the long-term and Longevity what's best for business. And seeing the side vents is very relatable and it's nice and seeing someone that came from nothing worked his ass off with or without his father and sacrificed a lot for his family to be where he's at. I may have disagreements with business but I respect the man as a human being. And you're not running the business and I'm not reading with his so he knows what he's doing I mean he's making a lot of money out of it and he's doing something right having arguments about who's right or wrong is for some ridiculous the second off it's just entertainment dude
@Sukadik Aew>wwe right now I agree but you sound annoying af and they’re literally no threat to wwe at all financially or in the ratings. They haven’t beaten wwe at all in the ratings
Vince McMahon is responsible for bringing so much happiness into my childhood. This was really great to watch.
I only appreciated how many classic Vince laughs we got during this interview. Feel like we always hear stories of that laugh but to have Pat actually pop Vince live are the moments that one day he can look back an appreciate because this run hes on right now is nuclear level.
The trial of Eric Bischolf was one the best segments on Raw. I was dying laughing.
Regardless of how you feel about the WWE brand ALOT of people owe their childhoods to this man when the unfortunate day comes we are all really gonna miss him
i could listen to vince and his stories for hours, i know alot of people think he is a a**hole but looking into his eyes and seeing the love he has for the company and his work/fun building it to what it is, its inspirational really is, like also i gotta mention that he must of loved being on this show because pat tried to wrap up half way through and vince wanted more, like really loved that!
Yeah, I'm gonna go with he's an a hole - too many stories of him treating his wrestlers like trash especially Owen Hart.
@@dexterwestin3747 you’ll never know the real side
God he straight up kissing vince’s azz here
@@braveinternetguy like others kiss Tony’s ass?
@@rja9797 we're not calling tony a saint.
Guy also has his problems
Just that, Vince has very well known controversies himself.
These dudes aren't gods, they can show love for the industry while being cold-hearted "meanies"
It's like Elon Musk giving a great interview about tech. He can be right, but that doesn't mean he should always be applauded.
Vince McMahon is literally teaching you how to be a better person just by being in his presence this entire thing is extraordinary and crazy to watch
thankyou very much for this interview Pat!!
it's the first time i finally see othe side of vince McMahon.
man, nothing he speaks but the essence of life lessons.
i'm very greatful for this interview.
god bless you all.
I still like wrestling, but haven't called myself a fan for twenty years. I could still listen to Vince for hours. He legit is a very interesting guy.
This was legendary. The fact Pat got Vince fkn McMahon on his show is beyond incredible. 👍
Vince asked to be on
@@gogetasolos3563 Vince asked to be on, but this show is not part of the WWE ecosystem. It's still really cool that Vince WANTED to be on the show. This was a fun watch.
I can’t believe that he literally flew to Pat Shell in Indianapolis… 76-year-old man! Granted, I know he travels a lot for the shows each week. What a hard-working guy who has a ton of money, he could’ve easily stepped down and collected! Instead, he takes so much pride in what he has and will not allow anyone else to “call it the way he wants it“. That is a savage, how many of us will be 76 years old and even if you own a business, be out there running it! I would not be… I would be collecting the net profit, having someone else run it the way I wanted it ran! He is such a great example of hard work and passion!
🙌🏽
Vince will see pat again tmr on smackdown as well
He flew as if he's at every wwe show. He's not, infact he always had someone in his circle handling his business. Granted he was a smart business man. His work has worked for em much longer most his career.
Gonna cry and try to defend these facts snowflakes? I’ll wait🍿😘😉🤣😎. This is why AEW is beating WWE cause they know how to push new younger talent, doesn’t have the same matches every week and does long term booking. WWE doesn’t do long term booking, doesn’t push newer stars, does the same matches pretty much every week, relies part timers, pipes in fake crowd noises on tv and makes soo much money which causes them to go into lazy mode not caring about pushing younger talent and building up the future. Why do you think most of them left WWE and most of them are in AEW now lmao! Cause Tony knows how to build for the future while Vince still relies on the past but again, I’ll wait to see what y’all’s next excuse will be to these facts. Please continue🍿😘😉🤣😎.
@@SUKADIK4 Mark out for your AEW
Wow.. it's always awesome to see Vince McMahon be genuine
Man, Pat! The way you ask questions is spectacular. Keep up the good work.
Vince spitting bars with that double negative line, that’s so true!!!
One of my favorite things about this interview is how completely engaged Pat is with his subject. You can see in his eyes that he is hanging on Vince's every word. He truly made the most of the opportunity before him, and asked such honest questions of the entertainment mogul in front of him. Pat helped facilitate his audience meeting the *real* person, not a character, not a "persona".
Cocaine will do that to any conversation bud.
@@joshuaedwards6692 It might surprise you, but most people don't need a drug to be energetic and engaged in a conversation. Especially with one of their heroes.
@@ryanmorrissette27 "energetic and engaged" 😂 Dude is jacked up on a ball, along with everyone else in the room who's under 70.
@@joshuaedwards6692 Sure, guy 😂
@@ryanmorrissette27 yeah no, it's clear there's more going on than just excitement. and that's the thing - he wasn't really engaged. if he was, he would've picked up on how uncomfortable he was making vince, and he would actually ask follow up questions instead of his questions being so all over the place and poorly-thought out.
it may not be from coke specifically, but his behavior is consistent with that of one under the effects of speed. trust me, i've seen people on it too much and have taken _way_ too much of it myself over the years for it not to stick out like a sore thumb when i see it.
alternatively, it's also in line with some degree of brain damage - albeit as a punter, he was in the NFL. so if it's not speed, i'd guess he could have some level of brain damage, because acting like that with so little self-awareness just can't be explained away by "it's vince he's excited".
This man deserves lot of respect 🙏🏻🙌 . Thank you Sir for making our childhood awesome ❤️❤️❤️
Pat these interviews you're doing with Vince, RKO, etc...are some of the best THEY have ever done, which speaks volumes to you and your team and the trust Vince and the WWE has for you and them. Awesome man, love to see it!
What I’ve learned here:
Vince McMahon is actually pretty down to Earth. Some people don’t know how to read him because he’s so stern and focused. That man is a true artist 100% it’s weird that all these people are intimidated by him.
The same fans who don't believe a single thing is real and will tell everyone how fake it is are the same ones who believe Vince is 100% the Mr McMahon character
The dirt sheets and British CZcamsrs have painted Vince in such a bad light
But...
Vince is the boss, he's says jump, you say how high?
@@lilachie yeah the British guys really have their panties in a twist
@@Robdobalina I saw a whatculture writer say that the current NXT is soft porn 😂
the fact he gave Pat an extra 40 minutes plus in the interview + a wrestlemania match says a lot about Vince
The things you do when you know your on camera
@@shanemccarthy212 exactly
Came back here after Vince McMahon announced his retirement. This interview showed what Vincent Kennedy McMahon is as a human being
Great show pay love to see stuff like this ppl get to see another side of Vince they didn't know existed. Keep it coming💪💯
Whatever you feel about Vince, you have to respect his career success. Also, greatest heel in sports entertainment history.

@@SUKADIK4 I feel sorry for ya, kid. I really do.
@@SUKADIK4 I'm a fan that watches both aew and wwe.
What vince has given to that business, the empire he has built can never be replaced.
But even then he's humble, he's down to earth and still aims to give his best to the business.
I admire him for that stuff. Vinnie Mac is a genius
@@SUKADIK4 what younger talent? They pushing former wwe wrestlers… barely & finally after 2-3 years pushing Sammy G
@@SUKADIK4 lol, I feel bad for you man, I really do, Imagine watching a company that’s stable because most of their roster is former WWE superstars, the same company that’s relevant because they keep bitching about WWE, the same company who’s owner is a mark and depends on announcements and debuts of irrelevant wrestlers, I really feel bad for you nigga I really fuckin do
I just feel so great for Pat. He's just an amazing human and has built his brand, in a lot of ways just like Vince, from practically nothing. And now not only has one of the most famous people in the world in his studio, but is about to be a part of WrestleMania. It's an amazing feat for this guy to have come this far.
Love this! Thank you for this interview
Always thought about Vince McMahon as an all-though business shark, and he probably is and need to be to get where he and his company is, but wow this shows there is a very down to earth human and genuine being behind all of this. And not shy to give out advise, he says a lot of really smart things. Respect.
Man it's refreshing seeing Vince just being Vince, not Mr. McMahon, but just Vince. Great interview. I'd love to see Vince do more interviews.
It really is. Always liked Vince. Even liked his announcing days also.
@@russellcampbell3500 "OH WHAT A MANEUVER" 🤣 those days I sometimes wish would come back
@@BrandanTheBroker hahahahahahaha that's awesome great memories.
@@russellcampbell3500 "HE IS BUSTED WIDE OPEN!"
@@russellcampbell3500 He certainly succeeded at every aspect of his own business. I thought his announcing was really good in the old days. He made a match exciting when someone went for the pin. And, of course, he and Jesse Ventura created the heel announcer doing actual play by play.
What this show is doing is just incredible. All the boys deserve a huge round of applause for all the hard work and accomplishments!
Go Bills
How they got him even there, in person for over an hour. Like goddamn, they have pull.
+16:30 when Pat gets all hyped up about Vince’s success is such a great hilarious moment of Pat being Pat and seeing Vince’s reaction just shows how much he loves Pat. Just gives him that “really?” Look but then realizes it’s Pat and you can just see “oh this kid is a special one”
Hearing Vince give credit to others is not what the media wants the public to believe he would do, and it’s great. He is like the Terminator, he just keeps going and taking down his detractors.
