Vince McMahon did what he wanted to and hired whoever he felt could have been a huge benefit for the company in any way.
While speaking on a recent edition of Cafe De Rene, Rene Dupree claimed that Vince McMahon once rehired The Boogeyman mere hours after John Laurinaitis fired him and even gave him a raise.
“Did you ever hear the story about Boogeyman, when he got hired? He got fired in the morning at 9 A.M. and then rehired at 3 O’Clock in the afternoon the same day. You remember Johnny Ace? So, Johnny didn’t like [The Boogeyman] and then, I guess he thought he had enough power to be able to fire someone like [The Boogeyman]. And then when Vince found out that [The Boogeyman] was fired, he made Johnny Ace call him up and rehire him. I think with a raise, actually.”
On a recent episode of RAW, Vince McMahon’s influence was palpable, as he left his mark on the entire show. Surprisingly, even Tommaso Ciampa’s facial hair was not spared from McMahon’s creative decisions, as the wrestling mogul reportedly requested the NXT superstar to dye his beard.
During a discussion on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer disclosed that the alteration in Ciampa’s appearance was a direct result of McMahon’s preferences. McMahon apparently harbors a strong dislike for gray facial hair and desires to present WWE Superstars as younger and more vibrant. Consequently, Ciampa’s signature gray beard underwent a transformation, with the wrestler dyeing it to a darker shade.
MELTZER REMARKED, “YOU NOTICE THAT CIAMPA DYED HIS BEARD? THAT’S ANOTHER SIGN OF VINCE MCMAHON. YOU KNOW, VINCE HATES GRAY, AND CIAMPA CAME BACK WITH A GRAY BEARD LIKE HE USUALLY HAS, AND HE DYED IT.”
