Though the Janel Grant lawsuit against Vince McMahon is currently on pause as the Department of Justice initiates a probe into the former WWE Chairman of the Board and the promotion he used to run, that hasn't stopped former Superstars and non-wrestling employees alike from coming forward with their experiences with the Billionaire, some good but most of them bad to very bad.
The latest performer to come forward to tell their story is none other than Missy Hyatt, the former valet who worked for the promotion in 1987 before jumping ship to Jim Crockett to continue her career from 1988-1994. Discussing the Grant lawsuit in an interview with Wrestling Shoot, the proprietor of Missy's Manor explained that she wasn't surprised to see someone come forward to complain about her former boss' actions, noting that she, too, had a bad interaction with the booker that played a role in her decision to leave the promotion for greener pastures.
“I believed everything. I believe it all. It did not shock me. Vince McMahon slept with everything. He's into threesomes and stuff and just into a lot of weird stuff. It didn't surprise me when I read that,” Missy Hyatt explained on Wrestling Shoot via Fightful.
“I called their lawyer, and I told them my situation with what happened with me. When I was doing Missy's Manor, I had to push Vince out of my hotel room because he was trying to stick his tongue in my mouth. After I did that, next thing I know, they want me to be a Federette. ‘I don't want to be a Federette.' ‘We're going to do something with you and Honky Tonk Man.' I didn't trust them, so I left and had to beg Jim Crockett and Dusty (Rhodes) for a job.”
Whoa, interesting stuff, right? Well, wait, there's plenty more to the situation than what Hyatt initially explained, as she delved further into the situation in her conversation with Wrestling Shoot, and needless to say, further context doesn't paint McMahon in a better light than her initial comments.
Missy Hyatt reveals Vince McMahon's teeth and behavior were rotten.
Delving into the specifics of her situation with Wrestling Shoot, Missy Hyatt revealed how a trip to Las Vegas for TV tapings turned into an uncomfortable situation when Vince McMahon tried to pursue relations with her after a long night of drinking, a proposition she rejected for multiple reasons, the least of which wasn't her pre-existing engagement status.
“We were in Vegas doing the tapings. We went out. [Vince] taught me how to play Blackjack. Gave me $100 and I won $180 or something. I tried to give him all the money. He was like, ‘No, keep it.' We went to a dinner at Ceasars where they pour the wine over your shoulder. A seven-course meal. This is a big group of people and stuff. I was wearing this leather dress. ‘Mean' Gene (Okerlund) poured coffee in my lap. I had a couple of cocktails. He said later on that they did that to see how I would react. To see if I'd freak out. ‘You handled that really well.' Yeah, I had a couple of cocktails. I was loaded. I really didn't care,” Missy Hyatted noted.
“That night, [Vince] walked me to my hotel room and was trying to get into my hotel room and I was pushing him out. I was engaged at the time. If I wasn't engaged, maybe, but he had such bad teeth. You're a millionaire, and you can't get your teeth fixed? He has really bad teeth. He has rotten teeth. It's really gross. Maybe he's gotten it fixed, but in the 80s, it was pretty bad. I didn't want to stick my tongue in that. I never had to sleep for a job. Yes, I've done a lot of wild things with some wrestlers, but I never did it for a job, and I don't think I ever had to because my talent speaks for itself. I never had to sleep anywhere for a job.”
Will this story serve as the nail in Mr. McMahon's coffin? No, probably not, as he didn't get very far in his pursuit of Hyatt. Still, it does help to prove a pattern of behavior that is highlighted in the Grant lawsuit and presumably in the DOJ's probe into WWE under his control, too. All in all, very bad news for the former CEO, as his case continues to become harder and harder to argue with each passing acquisition.
