Vince McMahon turned red with anger over a former WWE talent. During his time as the owner of the sports entertainment giant, McMahon was known to rule with an iron fist and had little patience for mistakes.

He would often give the talent a piece of his mind if he thought they had not followed any rule or crossed a line. Former WWE announcer Todd Grisham recalled one such incident in a recent interview.

Speaking on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, he talked about when he made Vince McMahon upset over an incident in the gym. Grisham said he was working out at the WWE headquarters once when McMahon greeted him and he was happy that his boss knew his name.

However, things soon took a turn for the worse for Grisham days later. He said he was doing a backstage interview with Edge and Christian when McMahon tore into him.

"So we’re standing there waiting to do the interview, and Vince is walking by, and he goes, ‘Oh, hey, there’s my boy.’ I’m like, he’s talking to me? He says, ‘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?’ 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 okay. It’s okay. I did it for you, which [yells] makes me your f*cking boy!’ He’s like, this close to my face, screaming, I’ve only been there three months. Everyone’s like, backing up. I feel like I’m p*ssing my pants at this point; he’s turning beet red, and then he just stops and just walks away," he said.

Grishan then mentioned John Gaburick, who was one of the producers backstage, told him that Vince McMahon had spent the weekend thinking about how he would confront him.

"He said that Vince thought about how to approach me about that all weekend. [Vince said,] ‘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, okay.’ He planned it. He looks psychotic. That’s the maddest he’s been," he said.
