Vince McMahon Despises Popular Pro Wrestling Term

WWE has a massive legend surrounding his name, and that only grows by the week. Even today, he is still making headlines by his constant remote changes to WWE RAW. His control over WWE television is also part of his legend, and that is only growing.

Over the years, McMahon has banned certain words and phrases from being used on WWE TV, seemingly for his own reasons, ranging from “belt” to “wrestler” to “hospital.”

The latest revelation comes from Jim Cornette from his Cornette Experience podcast, who worked closely with McMahon for a considerable period of time. During a discussion on the recent Night of Champions match between Gunther and Mustafa Ali on the Jim Cornette Experience podcast, Cornette not only expressed his admiration for Gunther, considering him the epitome of a wrestler, but he also mentioned the phrase “catch a quick one.” This phrase refers to someone scoring a lucky flash pinfall victory over their opponent.

For instance, if Mustafa Ali happened to defeat Gunther with a roll-up, it could be said that Ali “caught a quick one.” Vince McMahon actually hates that term with a passion.

“Vince hates that – that’s another Vince McMahon banned term.”

“In the old days, when you weren’t completely sure that guys were gonna agree to going along with doing a job (losing a match), the booker or whoever was doing the finish would go up to the f**king guy and he’d say, ‘Look, you take most of the match, boom boom boom, get some f**king steam on him, whatever, he’ll make a comeback and then let him catch a quick one. Just catch a quick one’.

“Which means roll you up, or some little quick pin 1-2-3 and you’re fine. And that’s kind of the way that you would talk a guy into it if he was reticent.

“And Vince McMahon hates that. ‘Catch a quick one, that’s bulls**t’. (Laughs).”

This is only one of many legendary stories about Vince McMahon that have come up over the years. Only time will tell how Triple H’s creative influence might change the way that things are working

WWE has a very scripted television format, but sometimes things don’t go as planned. Despite all that, Vince McMahon and company have always done their best to keep a thumb on things.
