Update on Possible Vince McMahon Tell-All Book

The always outspoken John “Bradshaw” Layfield, given these days to speaking his mind on any and all topics on social media without holding back, recently suggested that Vince McMahon, with a similar personality, was likely to tell all in a future autobiography. On the Something to Wrestle podcast, he declared, “I think there’s probably a 99 to 100 per cent chance.”

JBL noted that McMahon was disappointed in Hulk Hogan’s autobiography. He had hoped to read some of the juicy, rock-star lifestyle stuff he knew had happened, but Hogan as an author stayed somewhat in character instead. “Mick Jagger would be jealous of the way Hogan lived, and Vince wanted that put in the book. Instead, it was almost just half written in character…Vince was…very disappointed.”

Now, JBL may have the right assessment of McMahon’s character in wanting to tell all. The former head of WWE has tended to be nothing if not shameless, at the best of times. According to Dave Meltzer, though, it’s unlikely to happen in print. In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, he offers the most obvious reason for that:

“A lot of the key stuff involving Vince in a legit book is under deal due to NDAs, so there is not even a chance of writing about a lot of different subjects.”

So he’s saying…”No chance in HELL“? That would also be in character.
