Vince McMahon is often thought of as in-Vince-able (see what we did?) thanks to his relentless work-rate and desire to run WWE despite his relatively elder years.

While McMahon might not be quite indestructible, you could be forgiven for thinking as much, particularly given he survived a nasty motorcycle accident around 20 years ago.

Not long after winning the Royal Rumble in 1999, McMahon was riding his motorcycle when he collided with a car that was reversing off its driveway. McMahon cracked his tailbone but, thankfully escaped any major injuries.

On his Something to Wrestle With Podcast, WWE producer Bruce Prichard recalled of the incident:

But he got up and walked away. He was [angered] they took him away for observation. He was probably more[annoyed] that his bike was messed up. Did not miss a beat. Just kept right on going. ‘I’m fine! God damn. Just a little bump!’ Like nothing happened.”

It's hardly surprising that McMahon managed to dust himself off and carry on despite the fairly painful incident - around that time he was busy tussling in the ring with arch-rival Stone Cold Steve Austin, even winning the WWE Championship himself during that period.
