Vince McMahon recently announced his retirement at 77. However, back in the day he was actively working as WWE Chairman and CEO. A hilarious incident has been revealed by Paul London, who recalled how Vince did not realize he had already employed a wrestler he was interested in signing.
Paul London recalls the Vince McMahon incident
KC James appeared on WWE’s main roster between 2006 and 2008. He debuted on the August 4, 2006, episode of SmackDown alongside Idol Stevens, also known as Damien Sandow, and Michelle McCool.
Speaking on Rene Dupree’s ‘Cafe de Rene’ podcast, London told an amusing story about the time McMahon praised James’ work in an untelevised match.
‘KC James had a dark match with somebody and Vince was walking by, like, ’˜Hey, I like this guy. We should hire him.’ He’s been under contract for like a year and a half already. He’s been on pay-per-views! With us! So, we know what matches he wasn’t watching.’
It was noted that Idol Stevens and KC James unsuccessfully challenged Brian Kendrick and Paul London for the WWE Tag Team Championship at No Mercy 2006. London then referenced that Mr. McMahon seemingly missed the 10-minute contest or forgot that James was involved.
