5 Times Vince McMahon cried on camera

#4 Vince remembers his father

Around a decade ago, when WWE used to regularly put out video compilations and Superstar specials on DVDs, the company produced a title named "True Story of WrestleMania". The elaborate presentation featured interviews from a long string of WWE performers who have competed and made history at The Grandest Stage Of Them All. It also took a look at how WrestleMania came into being and what hurdles came in Vince McMahon's path while trying to make the show a huge success.

At one point during the interview, Vince can be seen talking about his father. He recalled one instance where he was walking down to the ring and he couldn't remember anything but his dad. Vince McMahon can be seen in tears while talking about his father. Vince's father had left the family when he was still a baby and came back around 12 years later. Ever since then, the duo had a great relationship, ultimately leading to Vince taking control of the company during his dad's final days.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
