Former WWE Superstar hung up on Vince McMahon after amusing travel request

Billy Gunn recently recalled an amusing story about the time he hung up on Vince McMahon before a WWE event.

Gunn was driving 80 miles an hour down the freeway with Road Dogg when a deer suddenly jumped into their car window. The former WWE Superstar phoned Vince McMahon to inform him that both he and Road Dogg were potentially going to miss the show.

Speaking in a Wrestlefest Asia Virtual Meet & Greet, Gunn said he became frustrated when the WWE Chairman advised him to call a taxi:

“He literally said, ‘Can’t you get a taxi?’ and I hung up on him. This is how citified Vince is. I literally looked at Road Dogg and went, ‘He just asked if we could get a taxi!’ He goes, ‘Did you just hang up on him?’ I said, ‘Yeah! Because he asked me if I could get a taxi in the middle of nowhere!’ Eventually some of the boys stopped and we kind of just left the car on the side of the road,” he stated.

Gunn added that current WWE Superstars cannot simply phone Vince McMahon before a show and receive an immediate answer. Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it was a lot easier for WWE talents to contact their boss over the phone.
