WWE is on the road all year, and Vince McMahon used to make every date for the company. Although he has now stepped down from his previous job, he did have quite a rider list of required items when he was traveling with the company. That also required people to make sure that he had everything he needed to do his job. That list of demands is quite extensive, and interesting to see so many years later.

Vince’s office checklist for WWE events circa 2007, courtesy of former WWE timekeeper Mark Yeaton, covered various necessities to ensure the smooth running of events. This list recently re-surfaces on Reddit.

The checklist included practical essentials such as making sure the internet was up and running and the telephone could dial long distance. It also required verifying the microwave oven was functional.

The list included personal items for comfort and hygiene: medicines, tanning cans, soap, toiletries, at least three bath towels, hand sanitizer, and sanitizing wipes. For nutrition, Vince required a box of protein bars, four cans of power shots, two tall bottles of protein powder, one short bottle of protein powder, and three clean shaker mixers. A trash can was also necessary.

Office supplies and equipment were another important component of the checklist. Vince needed an extra table and a range of writing tools, including pencils, pens, Sharpies, highlighters, scissors, and a pencil sharpener. For entertainment and monitoring, a DVD/TV combo and a 9-inch monitor with a power cord were required. The audio setup included two speakers, a long cord power strip, two pairs of XLR audio cables, and one 10-foot XLR audio cable. These items ensured that Vince’s office was equipped to handle any situation during WWE events.

Vince McMahon is not making any WWE events at this point, because he has retired and moved on. Only time will tell if he ever comes back to visit, but odds are he will never hold another seat of power again. Let’s hope that he has someone taking care of his rider list wherever he ends up next.
