The Spot Vince McMahon Truly Hated In WWE Matches

Vince McMahon was known for his extreme likes and dislikes as WWE boss and now a former star of the company has revealed the one spot in matches that he hated.

Sneezes? No. Alliterative nicknames? Yes. Southern commentators? Sometimes. Charlotte Flair as champion? Definitely! These are just some of the things Vince McMahon has been known to love and loathe over the years. But it seems there was also a one-time popular spot in matches that the former WWE chairman just couldn’t stand. But John Cena did it anyway.

Vince McMahon Hates A Test Of Strength

Speaking to MuscleMan Malcolm, former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal – now best known as Raj Dhesi – recalled working with Cena in 2017 and Cena calling the infamous ‘test of strength’ spot, not something that was favoured by Vince McMahon:

I’ll tell you a funny story. I’ve always heard from producers etc. like, ‘Never do a test of strength.’ Vince [McMahon] hates it. He hates test of strength, he thinks it’s stupid. So, I’m in the match and I said right in the beginning and Cena calls test of strength. And usually, when you do the test of strength you kick him in the gut or whatever. So, I lock up with Cena. He doesn’t call anything and we just go into the test of strength. And he goes all the way down and then comes up.

And then I think he finally said, ‘Kick me.’ I think. But to do a test of strength… If you noticed… Like in the last decade how many test of strengths have you seen in WWE? Unless it’s like maybe Lashley versus Braun Strowman like a type, maybe. But just in a normal match there is no test of strength.

So, when we came back, obviously, no one said anything. We got the thumbs up from Vince and yeah… So… Yeah, he mostly called it on the fly. It was so much fun. And he’s retiring soon. So, I’m glad I got to work him. We had some few more matches on Live Events. Some tag matches, some dark matches. So, always a huge honor to be in there with John Cena.

John Cena blamed the fans for his heel turn at Elimination Chamber when he appeared on Raw. Cody Rhodes confronted the 16-time world champion and told him that he hoped the real John Cena turned up at WrestleMania 41 or Rhodes would retire him early.

Vince McMahon made a rare public outing in the St. Patrick’s Day spirit as he attended a New York Knicks basketball game in Madison Square Garden.
