Brodie Lee spoke on the difficulty of pitching ideas to Vince McMahon in WWE during his appearance on Talk is Jericho. Here are the highlights:
Vince getting a massage when they first tried on the Bludgeon Bros. gear:
“And so we have to put these outfits on, and they say ‘Well, Vince wants to see him.’ I said, ‘Alright.’ So, we put them on, and Rowan’s like, ‘I don’t want to put the whole thing on.’ I was like, ‘You got to put the whole thing on.’ I was like, ‘Put it all on, buddy.’ And so, we put it all on, and we go smack on his door. He yells, ‘Come in,’ and and we open the door and he’s getting a massage. And Larry the trainer is massaging his calf, and he’s cackling as we walk in. Larry’s just looking at me like — I’m like, ‘You motherf***er!’ And Vince looks up and he just goes, ‘Yup! Love it!’ And I go, ‘Did you want to see the other–?’ ‘No, no. Love it.’ And he just puts his head back down to keep getting the massage, and we walk out. And that was that.”
Trying to pitch ideas to Vince when he eats:
“I’ve pitched many a things to him where he’s just chowing down on a salad or something, and like you hand it to him, ‘Yup. I’ll look at these on the plane.’ And you walk out, you’re like, ‘You’re not gonna f***ing look at those.’”
