Forrmer WWE creative director David Sahadi recently spoke with Insiders.
During his chat with the podcast, Sahadi reflected on a WWF Attitude Era tribute video that "evoked so much emotion out of " Vince McMahon. Check out David's story below:
“Vince finds out and calls Kevin Dunn and says, ‘What the f**k is Sahadi doing with all these old timers up there in Albany, we’re about the new generation right now,'” he said. “Vince comes down to look at it about four days later and he’s as angry as can be … 10 seconds in, Vince is like, ‘Oh god, oh god, oh jeez, oh god,’ and he left before it finished. Vince was sitting down on the concrete floor just crying hysterically just saying, ‘Thank you.’ I think the reason why — I didn’t know at the time — but not only was it the spot of the passing of the torch from the old generation to the new generation, but I think from a visceral level, Vince probably felt like it was a passing the torch from his father to what Vince did. I think that’s why it resonated with Vince so much and it evoked so much emotion out of him.”
David Sahadi left WWE in 2003, after a decision to chase "something deeper, more profound in life."
