Vince McMahon’s Had Interesting Request Before Greenlighting Madcap Moss Gimmick

Riddick Moss was working in NXT for the majority of his career until he finally got called up to the main roster and then got his name changed to Madcap Moss. Back then he was just known as Riddick Moss and did not really see much success there. He is now back to Riddick Moss and it appears Vince McMahon made him prove he could laugh properly before getting the Madcap Moss character.

Riddick Moss aligned himself with Baron Corbin back in 2021 and became Madcap Moss, where he was portrayed as a joke character. He would then break up with Corbin and revert back to Riddick Moss.

While speaking at Notsam Wrestling LIVE!, Riddick Moss talked about his Madcap gimmick. Moss revealed that Vince McMahon made him prove he could laugh properly before he could take on the Mapcap character.

There is a very similar characteristic between myself and the Madcap (Moss) character which is I love to just have a good time and laugh and not take anything too seriously. At the end of the day, as much as we care about all these things, it’s just wrestling and I like to have fun and that applies not just to wrestling but to anything in life. I just want to have fun and if there’s ever an angle for me to get to laugh, I go for it. There’s no doubt. Unless it’s a really inappropriate situation but even then, I think about it, you know? Can I get away with this right now? So I think that there was that aspect to it maybe. I think it kind of just lined up and it was a bit lucky. But I did have to show, demonstrate to Vince (McMahon) that I could laugh. So he explained the character, explained what he was looking for out of the character and then said, ‘Okay, laugh.’ ‘Excuse me?’ He said, ‘Laugh.’ ‘Haha, haha, haha! Haha!’ ‘Alright, that works. We can work with that.’
