There are different sides to every individual. While some sides are often highlighted, others remain stored away. This is exactly what happens with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
Now, more often than not, fans and others tag Vince McMahon as a stern, strict, and profit-minded man. While that is completely true, The Big Man has a side that no one actually talks about – the compassionate and understanding side.

John Layfield Bradshaw actually revealed a story about The Big Man which shows that Vince McMahon is truly a caring gentleman and honors his words.
“The best story I’ve seen on Vince and you [ Brisco] may know the guy. There was an old guy. He used to come around when we were in Baltimore. And, he’d come in with his bag. He’s probably seventy something years old. He’d come in and Tim White would always pay him. I asked him, ‘who is that?’, and apparently Vince told me later who it was.. When Vince’s dad ran Capital City Wrestling, apparently he’s in the hood, in a bad neighbourhood. This guy took care of him.”
Apparently, Vince Sr. had asked The Big Man to take care of him. He ensured that the gentleman was taken care of.
“Vince said, ‘that song Bad Bad Leroy Brown might as well been written for this guy’. He said he always took care of Vince Sr. and made sure he was safe, made sure he was fine, the show ran well. And before Vince Senior passed away, he goes, ‘I’d appreciate if you always take care of this guy’.”
Vince McMahon bought the old man a car
Considering his age, McMahon never really made him do any work. However, he would always let him know he was appreciated for coming and would pay him, anyway.
