If there is something definitely out of the extraordinary about Vince McMahon, it is his physique. While men at his age are cutting back on physical exercise and gymming, the former CEO of WWE, has been at it since his youthful days.

While not being his best showing, McMahon wasn’t even prim and proper like a wrestler, even in his hay days. So, to achieve that level of athleticism on such a big stage is a huge accomplishment for the man, who built the WWE brand. But what’s the secret of his fine physique and generally superior body, compared to men of his age and status? This former VP of WWE knows it all too well.
Former WWE VP reveals a Vince McMahon secret at the gym
While talking to Ishan Chavan, the former VP of WWE, Rob Kligman, revealed his workout sessions with the boss. He revealed a major secret about Vince McMahon in the gym as well. He said, “Well, I’ll tell you this: he listens to AC/DC. So, AC/DC, the music group is always on inside the gym. I’m a fan of AC/DC. I have a pinball machine after AC/DC. So, when I heard that music go on, I just… you wanna work out, but you wanna work out really hard. You wanna respect the discipline of working out.”
“You wanna do it correctly, you don’t wanna slam your weights, you actually do things in a manner of respect and I think that’s what Vince brought was a respect level. When I had the opportunity to work out with him, it was awesome. I was in the best shape of my life due to that fact. You wanna work hard, you wanna look good, and that’s what got me motivated.”

AC/DC has always been a huge part of WWE and now we know why that might be. Of course, we all know about the current theme of SmackDown being AC/DC’s Are You Ready, but what about songs other than that?
While not talked about in many circles today, when Eric Bischoff debuted at WWE Raw, his theme was Back to Black by AC/DC. This marked his turn to a company that was competing with him for a few years. Also, AC/DC songs were used in major PPVs like WrestleMania 25 and 26, 1998’s SummerSlam, and 2008’s Survivor Series.
