>Jon Moxley’s relationship with Vince McMahon was eventually strained due to creative getting out of hand and McMahon’s ability to convince people to do and say things they wouldn’t normally do or say.
>Once again, [Vince McMahon] has seen and done it all man. From the worst of the worst to the best of the best. You know you’re never pulling one over on Vince McMahon. You know he can pull one over on you. We call it ‘The McMahon Jedi Mind Trick.’”
>“You go into the office pissed off, ‘I’m not doing this, I’m not gonna do it.’ It’s like on Gilligan’s Island when he wants him to wear a dress, ‘You can’t make me! You can’t make me! You can’t make me!’ and then the next scene he’s wearing a dress.”
>Speaking on a recent episode of his Jim Cornette’s Drive Thru podcast, the legendary manager discussed his own experience on the receiving end of McMahon’s “Jedi mind tricks.”
>“If I could explain it, then it wouldn’t be a Jedi mind trick. He doesn’t get upset, he’s not mad or yelling. He comes at it like you want to explain yourself to him. Why do you want to do this? How is it going to be beneficial for you? Tell me all about it and then once you have, he can proceed to without doing it, pick apart everything that you have just said and somehow, bring you to the realisation that if you do the opposite of everything, it will work in reverse.
>Sometimes, by the time he has finished, it’s like you have changed your own mind. He has agreed with you. If I could explain it, you wouldn’t fall for it and everyone could do it. I’ve done it and I have seen numerous other people go in with a set opinion of something, and however long later, leave that room happy that Vince was able to see things your way to where you are now going to be doing whatever he wanted you to do.
Emailed these to Janel's lawyer, btw
