As you no doubt know from the number of interviews he’s been doing lately, Chris Jericho’s latest book Best In The World (At What I Have No Idea) was released last week. Jericho of course relates several WWE stories in the book and one of them involves Kofi Kingston actually challenging Vince McMahon to a fight.
According to the book, during a plane trip McMahon told Kofi in a snide manner, “Maybe one day you’ll get over.” Kingston was visibly disturbed by the jab and as Jericho and Kingston left the plane, Jericho told the other man that he had to go back and challenge Vince to a fight. Kingston thought it was a rib but Jericho was being completely serious, being aware of McMahon’s personality.
Kingston took the advice and got back on the plane, asking Vince if he had a problem with him. The two went back and forth and then McMahon went in for a double leg takedown. Vince and Kofi wrestled around for a while, until Vince finally got up and laughed about the situation, appreciating that Kofi stood up for himself.
Jericho adds in the book that McMahon has been known to throw out amateur wrestling moves against the likes of Kurt Angle and thus he knew that Vince would respect Kofi for doing it.
