5 times Vince McMahon got angry at WWE Superstars for not following instructions

#3 Paul London smiled at Vince McMahon

Paul London was one of the hottest stars in WWE's Tag Team and Cruiserweight division at one point, but his career came to an abrupt end when he was unable to follow Vince McMahon's instructions back in 2007.

Vince McMahon was seen walking past the entire locker room backstage on an episode of Monday Night RAW, before The Chairman stepped into his limo and it exploded in the parking lot.

That night WWE stars were instructed on the expressions that they should have as Vince McMahon walked by, but Paul London had a huge smile on his face, which ended up costing him his job.

Paul London later revealed the reason behind his reaction following his release:

"There was no "gaff" on the direction or the instructions that we were given. It was extremely clear and I will tell them to you right now. They said to get us all in a group (because you are all not important enough) to be spoken to individually."

"Looking back at it the funniest thing about that segment is really all of the other wrestlers reactions or attempt at reactions and just how bad and funny it looked to see all of these actors or wrestlers, how hard they were trying to feed into this whatever it was so that was pretty comical. But we did that thing 9 times at least and I smiled every single time. Each take. It wasn't the same smile but that was my motivation and they didn't say anything different. I figured if they had a problem they would tell me. Vince McMahon even looked in my face on a few of these takes as he was walking around and doing these takes and looked at me. So it wasn't like he didn't see it 8 or 9 times."

It appears that London's reaction wasn't what WWE officials were looking for, but in the grand scheme of things, the storyline was dropped just weeks later so it didn't really matter.
