#2 Vince McMahon wanted to interrupt Kurt Angle vs. Shane McMahon
Vince McMahon was so infuriated by the match between Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon at King of the Ring 2001 that, according to Shane, the WWE Chairman almost came out to stop the match on three occasions.
Angle was originally supposed to suplex Shane through a pane of glass next to the entrance ramp. However, WWE used the wrong kind of glass and it did not break on the first suplex, meaning Shane landed head-first on the concrete floor.
Moments later, the two men attempted the dangerous stunt again, this time with Angle suplexing his opponent through the glass before launching him through another pane of glass from the other side of the set.
Shane recalled on The Steve Austin Show that Vince McMahon threatened to end the match, while he also thought that Shane ignored his order to stop the match after receiving information from referee Mike Chioda.
“Vince thinks that I'm shooing him off, that I'm disobeying an order, that I'm ignoring the order from Chioda, but I never got the order because I would never disobey him [Vince McMahon]. So [the] gorilla [position] was silent. Vince was going ballistic. I mean, throwing stuff.” [H/T Wrestling Inc.]
Angle, who suffered a broken tailbone early on in the match, ended up winning the 26-minute Street Fight, which has gone down as one of the most brutal matches in WWE history.
