As the wrestling world continues reacting to Vince McMahons recent car crash on Connecticuts Merritt Parkway, past stories about his reckless driving are coming back into the spotlight and none are more intense than what Jim Cornette once shared.
In an older interview, Cornette gave a brutal and hilarious account of what it was like to ride with McMahon behind the wheel and its eerily similar to what reportedly happened in Vinces real-life wreck last week.
When answering a fan question about riding with Vince, Cornette didnt hold back. He said the issue wasnt just bad driving it was about control and invincibility.
Cornette recalled a specific flight they were on that had to be rerouted due to weather. Vince was furious because he couldnt land at his preferred airport, and even knocked on the cockpit door mid-flight to argue with the pilots.
When the plane finally landed in Albany, Vince didnt wait around. He rented a car and drove himself and Cornette through a torrential storm just to get back to Stamford, Connecticut.
According to Cornette, Vince may have hit 100 mph during parts of the drive. Despite the conditions, Vince didnt let up and they made the trip in just two and a half hours.
Cornette wasnt the only one. He said Jim Ross also experienced a terrifying ride with Vince and eventually told him directly that he wouldnt be stepping back into the passenger seat.
Cornette joked that Bruce Prichard was the only one crazy enough to keep saying yes to Vinces rides.
These stories took on new weight after Vinces July 2025 crash, which reportedly happened while he was weaving through traffic at 8090 mph in a $250,000 Bentley. The crash totaled both cars involved and earned McMahon a misdemeanor summons for reckless driving. Cornettes stories, once just wild road tales, now feel more like warnings that went ignored.
