Alright, so yesterday, I decided to dig into this whole “weeping Vince McMahon” thing. You know, that shot of Vince getting all emotional? It’s been floating around the internet, and I figured, why not figure out where it came from and make a little project out of it? Here’s how it went down.
First off, I started with some good old-fashioned searching. I wanted to find out the origin of this clip. Turns out, it’s from a WWE documentary called “Undertaker: The Last Ride,” which aired back in May 2020. The scene where Vince gets all choked up is when he’s talking about his relationship with The Undertaker. Gets pretty emotional, and he even tells the crew to stop recording.

Phase 1: Finding the Source
- Started with searching.
- Found the clip is from “Undertaker: The Last Ride” documentary.
- Identified the emotional scene with Vince and The Undertaker.
Once I had that info, I watched the documentary. Yeah, I sat down and watched the whole thing. And let me tell you, seeing that tough guy Vince showing his softer side, it’s something else. He’s usually all business, you know? But in this scene, he’s talking about The Undertaker, and you can just see the respect and, I guess, love he has for the guy. He starts tearing up, voice gets shaky, and he just can’t go on. Had to ask the crew to cut.

Phase 2: Watching the Documentary
- Watched “Undertaker: The Last Ride.”
- Observed Vince McMahon’s emotional moment.
- Noted his reaction and request to stop recording.
After getting the context, I went down the internet rabbit hole to see how this clip became a meme. I mean, I’ve seen it pop up in random places, used to express all sorts of emotions. It looks like it took off pretty quick after the documentary aired. People started using it everywhere, from funny posts to reactions to sports and even some pretty sad stuff. It’s wild how one little clip can take on a life of its own like that.

Phase 3: Exploring the Meme’s Spread
- Searched for the meme’s usage across the internet.
- Observed its application in various contexts.
- Reflected on the clip’s transformation into a meme.
So, yeah, that’s basically what I did yesterday. Started with a simple search, ended up watching a wrestling documentary, and then spent hours looking at memes. And you know what? It was actually pretty fun. It’s cool to see how these little moments can become such a big part of internet culture. Plus, I got to see a different side of Vince McMahon, which was pretty interesting. All in all, not a bad way to spend a day. This is pretty much how I felt about this whole thing.
That’s all I’ve got. Just wanted to share my little adventure with y’all. Hope you found it as interesting as I did!
