Vince McMahon is a known workaholic and there are a lot of stories about how the retired wrestling promoter almost never went to sleep. Former WWE employee Teddy Long got to experience the boss\' relentless routine firsthand on multiple occasions while working in the company.
The former WWE Chairman was recently spotted at the Superbowl event alongside his son Shane McMahon and The Undertaker. A lot of people noted that McMahon looked to be in good shape physically despite his age.
Teddy Long talked about this Vince sighting in a new WrestleBinge video. Recalling his time as the SmackDown General Manager, the former WWE official discussed how Mr. McMahon went to gym at crazy times:
\"Well, one thing about Vince, and I know this for a fact, he stays in the gym. Okay? I\'ll tell you a story about Vince maybe you guys don\'t even know. Sometimes at night after he would leave the TV, which means around midnight, 1 o\'clock, he would fly his plane into the next town. And when they got into that town, it may have been 2 o\'clock or 2:30 in the morning.
Vince got right out of that plane, got with his trainer [who] was already in the town and made arrangements to get the gym open. So when Vince landed, he got off that plane at 2:30 in the morning, got with his trainer, picked him up and they went straight to the gym. That\'s where he went. The next morning, he would get up, he would go back to the hotel, he didn\'t sleep. Next morning, he would get up, be the first one at TV.\
Sleep Is My Enemy
When asked if he ever saw Vince McMahon taking a nap backstage, Teddy Long replied negatively. He then discussed how the former WWE executive not only never seemed to rest himself but he hated seeing others sleep as well:
\"I remember one time at WrestleMania, I know I left him at the Hall of Fame. He was the last one there. This was 2 o\'clock in the morning, we got out of there like real late one time.
The next morning about 9 o\'clock we had to be back and the first person I see is Vince. So I waited to see if he was in a good mood and everything. So he spoke to me that let me know he\'s in a good mood and I asked him, I said, \"Have you been to sleep?\" And he said to me that sleep was his enemy. Michael Cole told me one time.
I was on Vince\'s plane and Michael Cole sat right next to me and he told me \'Do not go to sleep on this plane unless Vince goes to sleep.\' One time they went overseas and they went with Big Show. Big Show went to sleep after they took this water bed off the plane. They put it wherever they landed, they put it somewhere. Big Show got on the water bed and went to sleep. Well, Vince came by, seen him, stuck a hole in it, let all the water out.\
