Former Head Of Security Recalls Story Of Paul Heyman Threatening To Punch Vince McMahon

Former WWE head of security James Tillis was a guest on Andrew Thompson Interviews and recalled a story about Paul Heyman threatening to punch Vince McMahon.

“My scariest plane ride was we were on our way to Perth, Australia, and we started taking on — I think — there’s something going on where we had to get fuel and me and Paul Heyman were sitting next to each other, and we were near Siberia. We had to land — I believe it was in Russia or a Russia outpost to get fuel in the middle of a snowstorm where they had to clear the tracks and they wouldn’t let us off the plane obviously, then we took off at unbelievably — it was almost at a 90 degree angle to get out of this snowstorm and Paul Heyman looks at me and he says to me, he goes, ‘If we get out of this alive’ because trust me when I tell you, we were circling and it was getting kind of close and you can ask Paul Heyman. He goes, ‘I’m gonna punch Vince [McMahon] in the mouth if I ever get out of this alive.’ I was like, ‘Oh my God.'”

Something tells me this isn’t the only time Paul Heyman has wanted to punch Vince McMahon in the mouth.

Heyman was replaced by Bruce Prichard as the Executive Director of Raw several weeks ago. Of course, that is a job that doesn’t have a history of being held for a long time.

Rumors are now circulating that Shane McMahon may be in-line for getting the job next. I’m sure Shane thinks that would be sick.
