Vince McMahon is a prominent figure in the world of professional wrestling, serving as the Executive Chairman of WWE for many years. He has been known to run the company with an iron fist, with a strong focus on the inner workings of the wrestling industry. However, when it comes to pop culture and celebrities, McMahon is not always in the know. In fact, it seems that he was once completely unaware of why Kim Kardashian’s backside had become so famous.
Kardashian had appeared as a guest host for a few segments during WrestleMania 24, which helped boost her celebrity status even further. Bruce Prichard, who had worked closely with Kardashian during her time with the company, recently shared his thoughts on the experience during an episode of his Something to Wrestle podcast.
Prichard spoke highly of Kardashian, noting that she was a pleasure to work with and had a great attitude throughout her time with WWE. He also pointed out that some celebrities can be difficult to work with, as they are overly concerned with their image and what they will or won’t do on camera. However, Kardashian was different, and was willing to do whatever was asked of her.
Despite Kardashian’s positive experience with WWE, there was one backstage incident that stood out to Prichard. It seems that they had filmed a segment focusing on Kardashian’s famous backside, something that McMahon didn’t quite understand.
According to Prichard, when he showed McMahon the footage, he was initially taken aback by the emphasis on Kardashian’s behind. McMahon was concerned that they were starting the segment on her backside, as it didn’t align with WWE’s typical approach to showcasing their female talent. However, Prichard explained that Kardashian’s backside was a key part of her image and brand, which helped McMahon to understand the reasoning behind the segment.
“Kim was a dream to work with. As far as when you look at the outside celebrities that have come in, some are so concerned about their image and what they will and won’t do. Kim was like, ‘I’m in your world, you tell me what you want me to do,’” he said. “She was a pleasure. Anytime you can have a celebrity show up on time with a great attitude, and not argue with you about every word, that’s a good day.
I knew as soon as I showed it to him, he was like, ‘God d***, you’re starting it on her ass. Bruce, we don’t do that.’ I said, ‘Vince, I know, but that’s her gimmick.”
Overall, while McMahon may not always be up to speed on the latest celebrity trends, it’s clear that he trusts his team to guide him and keep him informed. And in the case of Kardashian’s appearance with WWE, it seems that everyone involved was able to work together to create a successful collaboration that helped to elevate both the wrestling company and the celebrity’s profile.
