Recalling his bitter battle with McMahon. On Twitter, a rare photo of him flicking out his finger at Vince has created a buzz. This was from one of the Red Brand shows.

The Texas Rattlesnake once revealed that McMahon hated his middle finger trademark. He stated, “Vince was totally on board with the beer idea. He didn’t give a s**t about the beer. I’m thirty-something years old–there ain’t no problem with the drinking age, and it’s a guy just clacking a few beers together after doing a job. There were no headaches or hassles with that, but flipping someone off is flipping someone off, no matter what age you are.” (H/T: SI.com)
