He Would Know: Corey Graves On How He Believed Vince McMahon Would Fire Him On Live TV

Many of them come from Vince McMahon, and apparently one of his oddities had a longtime WWE personality thinking he would be fired.

Corey Graves appeared on the Kurt Angle Show and told a story about doing live commentary on Monday Night Raw on Christmas night. Graves and Michael Cole were discussing what they were going to say, with Cole saying “Happy Holidays” during the broadcast.
