Vince McMahon gets emotional over a drawing

Sometime back Jerry Lawler on his Dinner With The King Podcast shared an incident when Vince McMahon was almost in tears. Jerry Lawler has a hobby of drawing and once he made a drawing of Vince McMahon Sr., Vince McMahon Jr. and Shane McMahon in one portrait.

Lawler said, “I opened the portrait up and he immediately looked at it and his hand covered his mouth. And he turned away like immediately. He turned away and walked over into a corner. And he just stood there for maybe a couple of minutes and he slowly came back and looked at the picture again.”

He added, “I think it brought tears to his eyes. I was shocked and then he hugged me and said how much he loved it. But that was like the one moment that I ever really saw from Vince that kind of emotion.”

It surprised the King to see this side of the boss as he didn’t think Vince McMahon would get this emotional. The CEO of WWE loved the painting as it represented the three generations of McMahons. Lawler, by the end of the video, claimed that the painting is still hanging at The Chairman’s office.
