10Vince McMahon didn’t care about Cena
Initially, Vince McMahon wasn’t excited about Cena, while his faith in the business was still undecided. “Kurt Angle was supposed to wrestle a fellow named The Undertaker that night, and The Undertaker actually could not make the show. He was extremely ill and didn’t show up, and they needed a replacement, and somebody threw my name out there because it would just be like a single match and it would do more for Kurt Angle than anybody else and Vince said ‘Okay,’ so they brought me in to see Vince, and I had a long, horrible, badly-dyed mop haircut at the time. And my first meeting with Vince McMahon went something like this: I was shoved into a room and someone over my shoulder said, ‘What do you think?’ And he (McMahon) turns around and goes, ‘Cut his hair.’ That was my first meeting with my boss.”
