If the WWE started doing short story segments on Vince to commemorate his life, they would become the most popular segments on WWE tv. Vince doesn’t need to be dead to be honored, and I wish they honored more people other than after they die.

Fightful states that the mansion that was going to be sold is not Vince's. Rather, it is a different mansion or house within Greenwich.
It's a simple property deal. Vince saw the house for sale years ago, bought it, did some renovation work and is now selling it at a profit. He's known to do this now and again with property in Connecticut and Florida.

@2:15 I’ve driven through these areas of Greenwich. This is exactly how it is. It’s all narrow roads that are heavily wooded. All you can see from the street are the gates of mansions far back from the public road. Some of the roads are just private. I was shocked to see a couple people walking around that weren’t landscaping. Just rich people going for a stroll.

Even Todd Pettengill did a better Vince impression.
I grew up in Greenwich, but in the Riverside section, which was by and large working class people. However, I had friends who lived near Conyers Farm Dr., and spent many days sneaking onto private property in that area to fish for bass the ponds and trout streams. We got chased by dogs (Dobermann and German Shepherds) quite often, but lived to tell the tale with no bite marks! Good times!
This entire premise is a lie. That wasn't the McMahon Mansion, Sean Ross poor Sapp had to retract the story because he _didn't even bother fact checking it_ like the professional wrestling jOuRnALiSt he is.

Good ol’ Corpse Vince. Always happy to make an appearance.
My family owned one of the two (there were only 2) pizzarias in Greenwich. On the bottom of Greenwich ave. I worked there for many years. Delivered to the compound where the mansion is. Not to the McMahon residence itself. When you think about all the bazillionairs of the world their digs were out of an earlier era. When you think of Vince you might think of something way more ostentatious and extravagant. Not that it was modest by the standards of us nobodies but between millionaire CEOs it's pretty humble. PS. Can't say Vince ate any of it but two stores over from us was Haagen Dasz and Linda would pull up solo (no cronies at all) in a huge escalade type car, black. Would grab lots of ice cream. I always thought she was getting it for like Staff or a group of people. She was such a nice lady, super approachable and down to earth

Despite apparently being a grown man, Brian has the emotional maturity level of a high school freshman at best. Add that to his immense ego and he gets to be intolerable pretty quickly. I feel conflicted, because on one hand his familiarity with Jim and their comfort level working together made the two Cornette shows some of my favorite podcasts over the years.....but his apparent amusement with his own brand of "humor", his hard-on against anything WWE-related and his constant water-carrying for Tony Khan have made these shows unlistenable for me anymore.

To build on Brian’s Idea: Vince asks Austin Theory to help him move and it starts with just the two of them. Shawn Michaels and HHH show up to mess with Vince like they did in their old DX bits.
When he started singing the doors I almost choked on my hard shell taco.
The listing is a mistake. The house mentioned doesn't belong to Vince

The only catch is the giant Vince McMahon painting has to remain in the home for the new owners.

I went to a RAW taping in Lowell MA in the late 90s, it was the night Shawn Michaels "lost his smile". Met Vince and Bruce Pritchard and shook their hands as they were walking into a restaurant across the street from the old Lowell Memorial Auditorium. I bring this up because I saw Cornette drive by in a really beat up Ford Taurus with I believe KY or OH plates. It was pretty funny as I was a few years into real estate and had a way nicer car than Corny. McMahon and Pritchard rode together in what I presume was Vince's Grand Cherokee, which in the late 90s was the unofficial stealth millionaire car.

He still has his original house. Given the current market he probably just made double what he paid for the thing selling it. Some nice pocket money for Vinny
"you had to be there" nah, even listening to you talk about it is funny AF 😂 ..and wait, there's a story about Stu calling Bruce about when Jim said Bruce was a sexual pervert 😂😂😂
Gated communities are common in Long Island NY especially in Suffolk county. Security theater is a pain in the ass. I'm sure Vince has 5+ houses. My friends dad has like 8 and is no where near Vince rich lol. 4 atleast are all in Suffolk county too. Funny story he got sick of us ( his sons friends all 30 of us ) chilling there so instead of telling us to get the fuck out bought a $950,000 house down the street... Literally within walking distance haha. Granted he designed the house being a architect but still. Awesome family btw. We legit had a castle to chill in and they were all great people.
If Vince McMahon moves in with Paul Levesque and his wife and the son-in-law gets fat, he'd essentially become the King Of Queens, instead of the King Of Kings.
So this isn't THE house.
He's begun to closely resemble Mr. McGoo.
