WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross revealed on the latest edition of his podcast how once had to hide in a bathroom stall while listening to National Wrestling Alliance promoters discuss how it would be easy to bump Vince McMahon off.Â
Check out the highlights below:
 âItâs a true story. Watts and I flew to Kansas City. I believe it was Kansas City, or St. Louis, for a meeting of these promoters to figure out how to combat Vince McMahonâs amazing growth of the wrestling business and the expansion of WWE, which was coming into these sovereign territories, and what we were gonna do.
âSo anyway, I said âWell, why am I going?â [Watts said] âYouâre gonna learn something, and I want you to go to listen. And I want to know what you think. But youâre gonna learn things that youâll be able to use if you stay in this god-damned business.â Okay.â
âSo itâs a nice ride. Youâre flying with the boss, heâs the pilot. We were in his plane, a little zip up and down from Tulsa to either Kansas City or St. Louis. We get a car, go to the hotel. And he said, âWeâre not gonna learn a god damned thing here, kid.â He said, âThese sons of a b***h canât even agree on where to have lunch or what to order. So they ainât gonna agree on nothing anyway.
âWeâre gonna go up there and listen.â He said, âIâll get some information, we might be able to hear about a talent wanting to leave or whatever. But weâll come away with some things that we can use, but not as them as a conduit in that respect.â
âSo anyway, weâre getting ready to have lunch, that suspicious mystery lunch. And we had our break, and I make my way to the menâs room. I go into the first available stall. Might have been the only stall in there. And I get down to do my business, and here comes a bunch of guys walking in off of that meeting. Famous wrestling promoters. Hall of Fame men. Some of the most famous men in pro wrestling history, are in my little bathroom.
âAnd Iâm sitting there trying to be discreet. You ever try to be discreet when you really need to go? Itâs hard, itâs very sad. Itâs really said. Anyway, they start talking about Vince. So one voice, very distinctive voice, says, âI could have the motherf**ker killed for $700. Why donât we just do that?â Then like I was surrounded by a bunch of little David Copperfields, my feet started elevating off the floor of the bathroom.
âBecause I didnât want anybody to see thereâs anybody in there. They hadnât noticed, they hadnât said anything. And so that was kind of where that ended. They washed their hands, and I canât wait to lower my feet back to the floor because my abdomen was hurting, âcause I was in bad shape. And they leave.â
 âSo I come out of the â I finished my thing and washed my hands, believe it or not. I said, âCowboy, well that was interesting.â He says, âWhat?â And so I told him. He says, âAw, s**t. Theyâre just flapping their gums, kid. They ainât gonna do s**t. They couldnât agree whoâs gonna put the $700 in, if that was what theyâre gonna do.â He said, âWeâre leaving.
âAnd weâll go someplace else and have a good lunch, besides this s**t. Cowboy was more interested in the lunch we had, we got a few names of talents that were [interested] and things were going on. We had some big shows coming up, so if you get a date on Harley, or a date on this guy or that guy, all helped. âcause heâs not gonna join the Alliance. So he said, âWeâre going home because theyâre done. Theyâre gonna repeat the same stories this afternoon they did this morning, except theyâre gonna be longer and slower. And weâre out of here.
âBefore we get through out last meeting, weâll be back in Bixby.â So thatâs what we did. So the thought of killing Vince McMahon. The thought was not really expounded upon, like âYeah, how do we go about doing that? Where would it be,â whatever. It it was basically a matter of fact, âHey, I got a guy whoâll kill him for $700.â So okay, I need to doo-doo and move on down the road.â
