Two stars that were released from WWE today (September 21) revealed what it was really like working with Vince McMahon.
Two of the stars released today during WWE releases were Ma.çé & Mån.sôör, most recently known as Maximum Male Models.
While both have had tenured careers in professional wrestling prior to the male model gimmick they, spoke about how they elected to fully commit to the bit since it seemed as though it could be a great investment in future opportunities.
Saying on their Twitch stream:
Mansoor: “Everything happened in the company where Vince left, Hunter took over. That was like three weeks after we debuted.
“I don’t know if there has ever been worse timing. When we were approached to do Maximum Male Models. I’m not going to give the whole story, saving it for my book.
“It was given to us like, ‘Here is the golden goose. If you guys grab the reigns on this and commit to it, you’re going to be rich for a very long time because this is Vince’s baby.
“He has wanted to do a male model act for eight months. He wanted this so bad.’
“Every week, we were supposed to do a new fashion show. We would go to the mall and buy the clothes. It was on us to buy the clothes.
“They gave us $2,000 to buy stuff. The rehearsal for the first fashion show was surreal.
“People were made to leave for us. For thirty minutes we rehearsed.
Mace: “It was Money in the Bank. They were like, ‘get the ladders out of the way. We have to rehearse the fashion show.’
“Vince McMahon came out and showed me how to turn, and to change my white pants because he hates white pants.”
Mansoor:” It’s very rare for Vince to come out in rehearsals. He stays in his office. He came out for this. ‘Is this our ticket to superstardom?'”
The pair shared that they actually did the Maximum Male Modeling runway act at house shows because Vince felt it was important for them to practice it.
Mansoor would go on the elaborate more about what led to the act coming off of TV, saying:
“Sadly, the week after we did the segment where we took pictures of Otis, we were supposed to do a match with the Good Brothers, it got cut and pushed back. We get pulled into a person of high rankings office…I’m not going to say what he said. I’ll save it for my book.
“We were essentially told we were going to have to revamp the Maximum Male Model and adjust, and until then, we would be off TV. We would get cut from being in the background of segments. It all came to a head when we were in the Andre Battle Royal.
“Producer Jason Jordan comes up with the spot where we get eliminated by Otis and Chad, Maxxine is celebrating, we question her. ‘Great, our story is going to continue.’
“No, we were not supposed to be in that match. When that spot aired, the person in the office who told us we weren’t supposed to be on TV stood up and said, ‘Who the hell let the models on?’
“It happened again because we were in the battle royal for the IC Title shot. We do a spot with Dexter Lumis and Johnny Gargano. The same thing happened.
“‘Who let the models be in the match again?’ Once that happened, we stopped traveling, it was over. Then came the process of pitching stuff because we were told we would be repackaged.
“Obviously, that didn’t happen.”
During the Twitch stream both were made aware that erroneous reports had been floating around Reddit about what had been said. To clarify, at no point did Ma.çé & Mån.sôör ‘bury’ LA Knight, rather were complimentary of him.
