Vince McMahon Allegedly Handed Shane McMahon A Knife To Stab Him With Over WWE Creative Disagreement

Netflix subscribers have been tuning into the Mr. McMahon docuseries since it was released on Netflix on Wednesday, September 25 and the show is currently sitting at #2 on Netflix's top 10 most-watched TV programmes in the United Kingdom. 

The show chronicles the rise and fall of Vince McMahon and explores the relationship with his son, Shane, and some of their disagreements within WWE. Shane was involved with WWE creative at one point and Paul Heyman revealed a disagreement between Vince and his son almost boiled over, with Vince allegedly handing his son a knife and telling 'The Boy Wonder' to stab him. 

"Most definitive moment I've seen between Vince and Shane was a creative argument that happened one night. Shane had an idea that he really believed in, and Vince totally disagreed with it. With most things that happen with Vince, once they start to escalate, they escalate really fast. Vince finally turned to Shane, and he said, 'Not while I'm alive.' Vince, who was eating something, took his knife and handed it to Shane," Heyman stated.

"He [Vince] said, 'Right there [points to heart]. Come on. Right there. If you want this so bad, stick the dagger right here. That's what you're going to have to do to make that decision. If you don't stick the dagger right here, then I'll know you're not man enough to do it, and I have to take that into consideration as well. Or you can buy me out, the way I bought out my father. If I don't get out of your way be prepared to get rid of me the way I would have had to get rid of my father when he wasn't doing things my way at all.'"

A number of interviews with Vince McMahon were filmed before the Summer of 2022, within which McMahon stated that he doesn't believe CTE affected Chris Benoit and that he thinks The Undertaker can't remember WrestleMania 30 because he was so traumatised by the streak ending. 

Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon are no longer involved with WWE, although Vince may still hold shares in TKO. Shane McMahon has been linked to All Elite Wrestling in recent months and Cultaholic has exclusive details on Shane and The Young Bucks being on the same flight this week.
