"I can't call him the N-word" - Former WWE announcer shares hilarious story about Vince McMahon; called the former CEO a 'psychotic'

Former CEO of WWE Vince McMahon had a number of incredible moments backstage that superstars still talk about over the years. The legendary name is now not linked to the company much, but undoubtedly built the foundation to the global phenomena that WWE is today, and his contribution will always be remembered.

In a recent appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Todd Grisham shared a hilarious story about Mr. McMahon. The veteran revealed that he once used the gym and coming out of it, McMahon spoke to him, saying that he had left the weights on the bar.

“And Vince is walking by and he goes, oh, hey, there's my boy. And I'm like, he's talking to me. Yeah, yeah, you. I'm your boy, right? He starts walking a little closer and he's like, I saw you going into the weight room the other day. I said, yes sir. He goes, you were lifting those weights, weren't you? Lifting those weights. I said, yeah. He goes, you put the weights on the bar, right? I said, yeah. He goes, but you forgot to take them off. I said, oh, he goes, no, no, no, it's OK. It's OK,” he stated [48.50 onwards]

Further, the veteran revealed that Vince had taken a lot of time to approach him for leaving the weights on the bar. McMahon wanted to call him the N-word, but couldn’t, so he just ended up calling him ‘boy’.

“And he said that Vince thought about how to how to approach me about that all weekend. I can't call him the N-word. I'm not his N-word. What can I call him? I'll call him boy. Yeah, OK. And he like planned it. He's psychotic. But to be fair, later that night, I did the show, walked backstage and he gave me the nod. Like, he's on to the next subject,” Grisham added.
