Vince McMahon is a very interesting man and he knows a lot about his expertise, but he lives in the pro wrestling bubble. Apparently, this meant that he was unaware of what other uses the internet has.

There is currently an amazing thread of Vince McMahon factoids online and one story really caught our interest.

The tale goes that Vince McMahon didn’t want to hire Gail Kim because she is Asian. That is a pretty horrible reason to not want to hire someone, but head of talent relations at the time Jim Ross figured out a way around that.

Vince was hesitant to hire Gail Kim due to her being Asian. Jim Ross convinced him not only because of her in ring talent, but the fact that many men are attracted to Asian woman and that there are even lots of Asian porn sites on the internet.

This apparently shocked the hell out of Vince, who had no idea Asian porn sites existed.

This is a very interesting thing to consider, but it’s not hard to imagine that Vince McMahon was just too busy to look at what was trending on porn sites.

The good news is that WWE hired Gail Kim. The somewhat troubling part of that factoid is that Vince McMahon might have been convinced to hire her because of his realization that Asian porn is very popular.

Gail Kim has been quite vocal about WWE’s practices and if this story is true then we can only imagine what hasn’t been publicly discussed about the matter.
