Vince McMahon is one of the most controversial figures in professional wrestling, but his larger-than-life personality keeps him unforgettable. There are countless stories showing just how bizarre he can be and now JBL has revealed that McMahon made Booker T apologize for a joke that Vince himself had given him.
While speaking on the Something to Wrestle podcast, JBL stated that Vince McMahon made up a simple dad joke and fed it to Booker T. Booker repeated the joke, but later, someone called Vince McMahon to ask if he had heard what Booker said. Vince didnt remember and asked what the joke was. When they explained, Vince McMahon decided Booker should apologize for it.
Booker T ended up apologizing for a joke Vince himself had given him. When Booker T returned, Vince McMahon had no recollection of the incident and mentioned that Booker T had already apologized for the joke. Booker T was surprised and legitimately thought McMahon was ribbing him but went along with it.
JBL stated that Booker apologized again, said the joke might not have been the best, and Vince McMahon thanked him for fixing the issue and acted like he was forgiving Booker for something. Booker shook Vince McMahons hand, and everything was fine. JBL noted that Vince never realized that he was the one who came up with the joke in the first place.
Vince McMahon will continue to have bizarre stories such as this and many of his employees, including Booker T, had to deal with it instead of going against it. Regardless, McMahon has nothing to do with WWE anymore and fans feel thats for the best
