Andrew Thompson recently spoke with James Tillis, the Head of Security at WWE from 1997-2011, who told a fun story about the night Vince McMahon tore both of his quads at the 2005 Royal Rumble.
After commending the toughness of both Vince and Shane McMahon, James tells the story of how he incidentally dropped one of Vince McMahon’s legs while a medical professional was attempting to scoot a prop underneath the leg of the WWE CEO.
“When Mr. McMahon got injured once, and I had to take him back to one of his doctors the next day and he had hurt both his legs.
“And just to give you an idea, I’m not trying to blow smoke at you or anything. It’s just that him and Shane, they just [have] an unbelievable toughness, but anyway, I had to take him back to a doctor in I believe it was in… Georgia? I’m not sure. But I had to take him on the plane and we get onto this private jet and I’m holding his leg, while somebody was trying to scoot a prop up under his leg and somebody said something to me and I turned to answer, dropped his leg. He was like, ‘What the hell!!?’ And his wife was there and I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ He looks at me and goes, ‘Are you kidding me!?’ That was probably one of the funniest things.”
