Former WWE Writer On The Rumors That Vince McMahon Hates Sneezing

Former WWE writer Jimmy Jacobs was recently a guest on the Art Of Wrestling podcast. This is where he talked about a wide range of topics including the fact that over the years, there has been one interesting rumor making the rounds. It involves WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and his hatred for people sneezing. In fact, he doesn’t even like to sneeze.

This is a story that has been told by many people who have worked with the boss of the company while in creative meetings. This is just one of many quirks that Vince is rumored to have.

During this interview, Jacobs shed some light on this rumor when he was quoted by stating that this is just a rumor as to when you’re on the WWE creative team, you hear things about McMahon but not sure if they are true or not.

He recalled being with the company for a few months and nobody had sneezed in front of him until one day, Triple H sneezes in front of him. This is when McMahon stated, ‘Oh God’ and then he, like puts up his invisible shield.”

Jacobs continued by stating that there would be times where he was in a small room with McMahon and he would stuff a sneeze. He recalled being in a production meeting a year and a half later where he’s sitting next to Adam Pearce and Vince is up at the front table. This is when he sneezed and McMahon reacted by stating, ‘Oh God, Adam, you should put up your shield’.”
