Vince McMahon takes etiquette serious.
The longtime WWE Chairman is reportedly big on "please," "thank you" and "you're welcomes" being passed around behind-the-scenes in his company when dealing with business matters.
During a recent installment of the "Kurt Angle Show" podcast, former Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle and former UFC Women's Champion Ronda Rousey spoke with each other about McMahon being big on etiquette.
Featured below is an excerpt from the episode where Angle touches on this topic with his thoughts.
“You say ‘thank you,’ and someone says ‘you’re welcome,’ that’s the usual way you do it. But in pro wrestling, you say ‘thank you’ and the other person is supposed to say ‘thank you’ back. So its like ‘thank you,’ ‘no, thank you.’”
“I was told one time a wrestler told Vince- Vince said ‘hey thank you for the match tonight,’ and the wrestler said ‘you’re welcome.’ Vince actually took him off the roster -for about a month- basically suspended him for a month because he didn’t say ‘thank you.’ He said ‘you’re welcome.’”
