5 Explosive WWE backstage meetings: Vince McMahon threatens Superstars, Brock Lesnar says he can't do it anymore

#3 Hardcore Holly isn't happy about Vince McMahon's dress code policy

Hardcore Holly

Hardcore Holly was one of the most popular mid-card acts in WWE at one time. He is mostly remembered for his stints with the Hardcore title. Holly's book, "The Hardcore Truth", is an interesting read that delves into his career as a wrestler, and we get to read about a string of never-before-heard backstage incidents in it. At one point, Holly discussed a backstage meeting where he got into an argument with Vince McMahon himself. Vince McMahon had implemented a dress code rule in 2004, which stated that Superstars had to wear business attire while on the road.

This didn't sit well with Holly, and he stood up to Vince McMahon in the meeting. Holly tried to explain to Vince McMahon that wearing a suit wasn't a part of his gimmick, but to no avail. Superstars like John Cena and Stone Cold were exceptions to the rule. Holly later blasted other Superstars for not standing up to Vince McMahon and being silent spectators while he debated with the WWE Chairman. Holly eventually had no choice but to adhere to the new rule.
