On August 24th, Vince McMahon celebrated his 80th birthday with a big private party in New York. McMahon not only is facing a serious lawsuit for sexual abuse and trafficking, but after his serious car accident in July of this same year, he also faces charges of reckless driving and endangering others.

Nevertheless, it seems that at this stage of his life McMahon wants to enjoy himself at all costs, and that was evident at the luxurious party, which, as it is known, was attended by wrestlers and WWE legends such as Undertaker, John Cena, Kane, Drew McIntyre, and The Miz. In reality, most of what happened is unknown, largely due to the great secrecy surrounding that party. Sgt. Slaughter stopped by Sportskeeda Wrestlebinge, where he talked about it.

Slaughter recounted how the meeting began, with the New York Symphony Orchestra playing while the attendees couldn't see them. "The New York Symphony Orchestra was playing when we arrived. When we arrived, we could hear the orchestra, but we couldn't see it because it was behind a curtain, and suddenly a curtain opened, and there was Vince on stage, and he said, 'Welcome to my 80th birthday party. Come down and join me, and let's have fun,'" he recalled. "We all headed to the area where our tables were, and it was magnificent," he admitted.

During the chat, the former WrestleMania headliner talked about how none of his attendees were allowed to bring their cell phones into the room and were forced to leave them outside, depriving people of taking photos of the celebration. 

Despite the little that is known about Vince McMahon's 80th birthday celebration, we have also learned that the former WWE CEO was sporting a certainly strange look that, according to The Godfather, resembled Dr. Evil.
