By now, hardcore WWE fans know Vince McMahon is no slouch in the gym. The WWE chairman was recently filmed squatting some serious weight and, even at his age (75), he's shown no signs of slowing down.
Former WWE superstar Kurt Anglespoke about his former boss's routine on his podcast, The Kurt Angle Show, revealing McMahon would call him in the wee hours of the morning to discuss shows before hitting the gym until 4:00 am.

“Sometimes at 1:00 in the morning, 1:30 in the morning Vince would call me and ask me if I’m okay, what I thought about the show that night,” he revealed (H/T Wrestling Inc.). “Vince, when he gets done with the show, he wraps up the show, he gets in his limo, he goes to the hotel, and then they rent out a gym in that city and Vince works out from 2:00 to 4:00 in the morning.
"Then he goes back to the hotel, goes to sleep from 4:30 to 6:00, and then he wakes up again. He takes an hour and a half nap and that’s it. He’s a monster. He does that every day.”
So Vince McMahon is busy pumping iron when most of us are asleep. Sounds a lot like the WWE chairman, to be honest.
Kurt Angle Had Creative Control Pretty Early
Speaking on the same episode, Angle revealed he was part of the company's creative team while he was making his run in the main event during the early 2000s.
“Actually they made me part of creative. I’ve got that top spot, creative started calling me every week bouncing ideas off of me,” he said. “Vince would even call me at times. I had Vince’s ear and he had mine. When you’re in the top spot like that, Vince wants to make sure that everything’s going perfectly. He wants to fill the talent in on what they need to do and how they’re going to about the next storyline or whatever it is.
"He’ll throw ideas at you, and you can say yes or no. For the most part, they’ll go with whatever you decide. For me, I was good with anything. I’d just say yes whenever creative would throw an idea at me.”
