Vince McMahon has garnered quite the reputation as CEO of pro wrestling giant, WWE. Many pro wrestlers have come out with fun stories from behind the scenes and Bully Ray is the latest to join in on the action.

Bully Ray was recently on “Stone Cold” Steve Austin's podcast, The Broken Skull Sessions, where he talked about the WWE CEO. The first meeting with Vince McMahon was actually a huge surprise.

“[We get] a meeting with Jim Ross. What we didn’t know is that it was with Jim Ross and Vince [McMahon]. There we are in JR’s office, just JR and Vince. We’re talking and going over a bunch of stuff. I remember saying to Vince, ‘Can we talk about the push?’. Because back in those days, you talked about your push. He said ‘Bubba, there is no such thing as the push. However, there is opportunity.’ That was a big learning moment for me right there, as far as how WWE [was going to operate].”

Bully Ray was with D-Von where they tried to explain to the WWE CEO that they were old-school heels. Vince McMahon shut it down and let them know that he was the man in charge.

“Me and D-Von being these heels, I remember saying to him “Vince, I just wanna let you know something. Me and D-Von are old school heels, we don’t sign autographs and we don’t take pictures. He started to chuckle and he put his hand on my knee like my dad would and goes ‘Bubba, not only will you sign autographs but you’ll take pictures also.’ Boom. Light bulb went off, and [we said] ‘Yes sir, we’ll take pictures and sign autographs.”
