Le Champion‘ jokingly advised Brandon to not tell Vince McMahon the name of the podcast if he ever plans to have him on it. Well, that’s how much the WWE Chairman despises the word. But ‘Rasslin’ isn’t the only word he despises, as there are a host of words and phrases that he likes to keep away from his ears.

Mr. McMahon has always believed that WWE is not a wrestling/Rasslin promotion. They are in the sports entertainment business, and they are a sports entertainment company.

Words are not the only thing Vince McMahon has banned in the WWE. He has also banned his Superstars from using Twitch and Cameo, sending out a third-party edict late last year. Thigh/Leg Slapping is the latest addition to the list of banned stuff from the Chairman.

Take the case of Braun Strowman, for example. The ‘Monster Among Men’ used the term ‘title shot’ on an episode of Raw, which left McMahon fuming backstage. The Chairman then caught Strowman by his collar backstage and told him he should’ve used the term ‘title match’ instead. Talk about little things!
