The seven-time world champion said, “I headed back to the back, looked over my shoulder, and here comes Big Show. Vincent sent Big Show to come to get me, right. He comes through the curtain and I said, ‘You may kill me to eat me but I will punch you in the face if you touch me.”
He added, “Vince never forgave me because I always told him (Vince McMahon), ‘I don’t care who you are, what you do, you’ll never get me to do that.’ And you don’t tell Vince that you can’t or won’t do something, because it becomes his passion in life. But I can honestly say he never got me to do a Takeroonie. So, I won. That’s the one battle I won with Vince.”
The crowd was hot and wanted to see Taker doing the move. However, he saw an opening and ran backstage. McMahon wasn’t able to make Taker do a Taker-Roonie. The Phenom had also addressed at the Hall of Fame 2022 and took a shot at ‘Vinnie-Mac’ about this in his Hall of Fame speech.
