PWTorch.com reader Mike McFarland sent the following highlights of Vince McMahon's interview in the January edition of Esquire that subscribers just received in the mail...
You've gotta read the "What I've Learned" interview with Vince McMahon in the January Esquire (pgs. 66-67). I don't know if it's hit the newsstands yet, but I got it in the mail yesterday.
He's pictured with only Smackdown talent (Torrie, Show, Angle, JBL, Cena) and just to give you a sample of his insights:
-- "Giving it to the audience is probably the easiest thing. Finding out what they truly want is probably the most difficult."
-- "The worst sound in our business is silence. That means they don't care."
-- "What I learned from the XFL experience is to be smarter the next time I take on the NFL."
-- "The most ridiculous idea? Someone suggested hiring hunchbacks. The reasoning was they could never lose a match because their shoulders could never be pinned." [Editor's Note: First WCW V.P. Jim Herd had that idea.]
-- "I don't think anybody could have beaten Andre the Giant in his prime. He was just so quick, notwithstanding his unbelievable size, strength, and intellect."
-- "Steroids Work. When I took steroids back in my 40s, I could feel tremendous difference. Should they be banned? Yeah."
There's much, much more in the interview and all his answers are intriguing.
