JBL Recalls Vince McMahon Getting Into An Argument With A Pilot

WWE Hall Of Famer JBL reflected on a story where Vince McMahon got into an argument with an airline pilot after being told that weather conditions were near impossible to land a plane.

During his Stories With Brisco And Bradshaw show, JBL recalled what went down:

“People don’t realize how fearless Vince is. We were flying one time into White Plains, like a short flight, like Boston or somewhere. The pilot comes back and says, ‘Sir, I’m fearless.’ The guy, I think, had been in Iraq flying as a pilot. The guy wasn’t scared, but he said, ‘I would not fly into this. There’s no visibility.’”

“Vince looked up and said, ‘So when you get that uniform, you lose your balls?’ Brian Gewirtz (former WWE head writer) was there asking why Vince was arguing with the pilot. That pilot took off. We were coming in with no visibility. It was like, all of a sudden, we saw the runway and landed. It was that quick. The pilot came back and said, ‘Wow,’ and Vince said, ‘I told you it would be fine.’ Like it was no big deal.”
