Chris Jericho: Vince McMahon Dislikes WrestleMania Term

On his Talk Is Jericho podcast, Chris Jericho recently spoke about WrestleMania and various Vince McMahon quirks about the show.  Jericho first explained why McMahon no longer likes to call WrestleMania by numbers or use the term ‘the grandaddy of them all.’

 

“The reason why, and everybody at home is that Vince does not like the numbers after the WrestleMania because he feels like it dates it. Also, you’re not allowed to call it ‘The Grandaddy Of Them All’ because he feels that it makes it seem old. So yeah, Super Bowl 75, he does not like the number, so you cannot refer to it as ‘WrestleMania 34’. You just refer to it as ‘WrestleMania’. One of those classic Vince McMahon quirks.”

As some fans like to consider, McMahon opts to play ‘America The Beautiful’ at each WrestleMania as opposed to the American national anthem. Jericho explains why that is.

“Vince does not like the American national anthem. Nope. He feels that ‘America The Beautiful’ is the epitome of American songs. That’s why for every WrestleMania, it’s ‘America The Beautiful’.”

Finally, Jericho explained how he texted McMahon an idea of what to call the Women’s WrestleMania Battle Royal after the fiasco that was the Fabulous Moolah Battle Royal name.

“I actually texted Vince and said, ‘you should call it ‘The Sensational Invitational’ and name it after Sherri Martel. He sent me back a text, ‘THX’, ‘thanks’, yeah. In other words, ‘keep your mouth shut, you frickin’ idiot – let me handle the hard work.'”
