In an interview with Fightful, Kofi Kingston recalled fighting Vince McMahon on an airplane after getting advice from Chris Jericho to make sure that Kofi had the respect of the boss. 

Here is what he had to say: 

“It’s one of my vivid memories in sports because it’s the wild world of wrestling. You know what I mean?. We were on the way to a press conference. As we were getting off, Vince started trying me a little bit. He’s like, ‘You wanna fight an old man?’ I’m like, ‘Whoa, what is going on? What’s happening?’ I got kicked off the plane because I wouldn’t fight him. ‘Uhhhh, okay.’ Jericho did come down and he said I had to go back up there, because in this weird world of wrestling, this is how you had to get respect. I’m like, ‘Uhhh, okay, I guess I’ll go up there and try to fight my boss.’ We get up there and we start going back and forth. All of a sudden, I got double legged on the plane. I’m like, ‘Oh my God, we’re really fighting.’ This is crazy.”

“We were still kind of in the early state of our relationship, so I don’t know if there was a shift or anything. I’ve been real lucky to have a really really good relationship with Vince over the years. I’ve been really lucky to have experience so much in my career. Obviously, Vince is the one making those decisions at the end of the day. I’ve taken a lot of pride in being able to deliver over the years and maximize the opportunities I’ve been given. I’m always thankful to Vince for giving me those opportunities for the past decade plus. I just keep trying to knock them out of the park every single time.”
