Shawn Michaels says Vince McMahon would joke about dying in Gorilla position

During an interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Shawn Michaels was asked if he ever envisioned the WWE brand without Vince McMahon in charge…

“No. You can talk about it, but I never envisioned the time when Vince wasn’t there running stuff. All of us who have known him and worked with him for as long as we have, everyone knows, and I mean this lovingly, but he wanted to pass at his desk. That’s who he is. That’s how he’s built. I had every reason to believe that’s exactly what he was going to do. He always made jokes that, ‘If I die at Gorilla position, the show has to go on. Don’t move me. We got to get to segment 10 and 11 and finish the show.’ You can talk about it, again, there’s lots of big talk in our line of work, but very rarely you see it get delivered on, but he’s always done what he’s felt was best for business.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
