A released WWE star has recalled comments once made by Vince McMahon regarding his appearance that drove him to lose 20lbs.
Speaking on a Twitch stream with fellow former Maximum Male Model stablemate Mace, who was also let go from his WWE contract on September 21, Mansoor recalled a time after a match where the now-TKO Executive Chairman insinuated that he should spend more time in the gym.
Mansoor said:
“We have the match, we go back up to the locker room, and the producer comes in the room, and he says, ‘Guys, Vince saw the match. Nobody knows how to sell.’ And then he looks right at me, ‘And nobody looks like they’ve gone to the gym.’
“And I was like, ‘Oh, no!’ So… I lost the weight. I went back to 180, I was slender… I got a little slimmer.”
According to Mansoor, after he had lost the weight, John Laurinaitis asked him to send before and after pictures to him so he could then show McMahon, with Mansoor later being told that his look was fine now after the weight loss.
Elsewhere on their Twitch stream the former tag partners gave insight into McMahon’s role in the Maximum Male Models group at its inception, as well as what led to them being ultimately pulled from TV earlier this year.
