Vince McMahon is the WWE chairman and wants things to go according to the plan. But if he gets annoyed by any superstar, he will definitely take action, irrespective of who is on the receiving end. He is the ring master, after all.

The superstar will not only face the wrath of Vince, but can get fined too. Just like Chris Jericho did. During the latest episode of the Ric Flair Wooooo Nation Uncensored Podcast, Ric Flair described an incident when Vince McMahon fined Chris Jericho $25,000.

While talking about the scars he had during his wrestling career, Ric Flair said, “You remember when Jericho picked up the TV monitor and hit me in the head with it. So I’ve never put my hands up in my life except it was, maybe, with Brody with a chair because then I would break my hands, but at least it would not break my head off. So I didn’t put my hands up when Jericho hit me in the head right, I got 25 stitches.”

Flair further added that the WWE chairman then fined Chris Jericho $25,000. An unfathomable figure? but that Vince McMahon for you!
