Chris Jericho recently spoke with Paul Wight on his podcast, Talk is Jericho. During this conversation, Jericho revealed an incident that angered Vince McMahon.

Jericho revealed that McMahon didn’t like his habit of taking photographs while the boss slept. During a trip, Jericho clicked a picture of Vince McMahon sleeping and showed it to him later. McMahon didn’t find the situation funny and asked Jericho to delete the picture immediately.

“He hates it when people see him sleeping. I took a picture of him sleeping on one of those trips and I showed him, and I said, ‘You actually do sleep.’ He didn’t laugh, he didn’t smile. He said, ‘Delete that now.’ I was like, ‘Okay, crazy man.’ He didn’t find it funny.” H/t SKWrestling

“I remember we’re in Europe and I was dressing right next to the card but I was asking you when we were on the card and you didn’t want to get up across the room cause the card was right next to me. You were like ‘it’s right there, read the card’. I said ‘I left my glasses’, I said ‘I don’t have my glasses’. Well, then, put your f*cking glasses on.”

While everyone believed they would start fighting, it was just another one of the bickering incidents that Paul Wight cherishes.
