Dave Meltzer shared a story on Twitter of NJPW wrestler Kota Ibushi attending NXT TakeOver: Dallas in 2016, when he went backstage he reportedly met Vince McMahon but had no idea who he was.
"The former NJPW star apparently went backstage sometime during the show. When Ibushi first went back there, he gave a ‘high-five’ to a ‘big man’. Out of all the people in the building, that ‘big man’ turned out to be Vince McMahon, owner of WWE. Ibushi had no idea who he was, which made the staff ‘really upset’."
AEW's Kenny Omega responded to the story saying the following:
"Hard to believe, but yeah, some of the most talented wrestlers in the world aren’t constantly walking on eggshells and scared sh*tless of their boss."
