WWE HOFer JBL Recalls Vince McMahon 'Legendary' 80th Birthday Party

Though most would be "thunderstruck" at turning 80, former WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon was not. Rather than dwell on climbing up there in age, "The Boss" chose to go a different path, according to John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL), who was in attendance at McMahon's 80th birthday party last August.

"Vince was the greatest host ever. His 80th birthday party? ... Everybody [who was there says] that was one of the most legendary weekends of all time," the Hall of Famer said on "Something to Wrestle." "Vince had done the sound system, I think, himself. He said he designed it himself. ... It would blow your eardrums out."

JBL continued by stating that one could always tell when McMahon was in a good mood, as he would blast music, including on WWE's private plane. "You couldn't hear anything on that plane. He'd be playing the music so loud. ... He loved AC/DC. He'd get up, he'd dance to it. He'd go up and down the aisle. And just like you see him dancing on television, he can't dance at all, but he doesn't give a s***. It's like: dance like nobody's watching. That's how Vince dances all the time. He just has a good time. He is so fun."

Right now, McMahon has plenty of time to put together his 81st birthday celebration party, as his birthday is August 24. Until then, the former chairman has some court hearings he must attuned to, including the recent report that he, WWE, and Janel Grant have agreed to move their now two-year civil court battle to arbitration. Previously, Grant, the plaintiff in the case, filed a lawsuit on the former face of WWE, accusing McMahon of sex trafficking and abuse during their relationship.
