The terrified WWE Chairman peed himself after Steve Austin held a toy gun to his head during the memorable segment. Austin further mocked his boss by creating a new catchphrase for him, “McMahon 3:16 says I just p****d my pants.”
Russo, WWE’s former head writer, spoke to Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Dr. Chris Featherstone about the way that he and Ed Ferrara booked McMahon’s character. He also revealed that the WWE Chairman occasionally created his own iconic moments.
Watch the video above to hear Russo explain why McMahon was removed from the WrestleMania 15 main event after his Royal Rumble win.
Vince Russo’s experiences with other bosses after Vince McMahon
Vince McMahon’s villainous Mr. McMahon character is widely viewed as one of the greatest on-screen personalities in WWE history.
Vince Russo went on to pitch ideas to two other higher-ups, Dixie Carter and Jeff Jarrett, during his time in IMPACT Wrestling. Unlike McMahon, he felt that Carter and Jarrett were more focused on their own characters than the overall show.
Russo also revealed that he and Ed Ferrara were responsible for Vince McMahon’s Royal Rumble victory in 1999. He said they immediately knew the WWE Chairman would not headline WrestleMania 15, which is why he was quickly removed from the main event.
