* Wrestling/MickFoley was in the middle of an amazing run as his Mankind character. He could have milked it for a lot longer, but he didn't. Vince gave Mick the chance to wrestle as his boyhood persona of Dude Love. Not just for a night, but permanently. He was willing to give up a known success just to give Mick the chance to live his dream. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlNQ6wvOvqA Here it is.]] In a similar vein, according to the "For All Mankind" WWE documentary on Mick, Vince was the one who came up with the idea of inserting Mick in the WrestleMania 2000 main event, even though it didn't make much storyline sense, because Vince thought Mick deserved to be in a WrestleMania main event before he retired.

** Every story Mick Foley has of putting his health in danger includes Vince either telling him not to do it or trying to tell him not to do it again with zero judgement and purely out of concern for Mick’s well-being.

** Every story Mick Foley has of putting his health in danger includes Vince either telling him not to do it or trying to tell him not to do it again with zero judgement and purely out of concern for Mick’s well-being. The "For All Mankind" DVD documentary has Mick say that Vince told him "That's it, you're done." the moment Mick told him his many injuries/concussions had led to memory problems in mid-1999. By Mick's own admission, he was in the middle of the hugely loved and successful Rock n' Sock Connection storyline, and Vince was willing to scrap it on the spot because he was concerned about Mick's health. Granted, Mick ended up staying on due to the absences of Austin and Undertaker in late '99, but the thought was there.

* It was rumored that after Wrestling/BrockLesnar broke [[Wrestling/TheUnderTaker The Undertaker's streak]], Undertaker collapsed backstage and was rushed to the hospital. In 2020's ''Undertaker: The Last Ride'', it was not only confirmed that Vince and Lesnar both went to his hospital, they also followed the ambulance that 'Taker was in. Vince left the biggest show of his company just to make sure Undertaker was alright.

** Even the biggest curmudgeon in the business— Wrestling/JimCornette— has noted he holds zero ill will towards Vince, that Vince never lied to him and Vince always honored his word when he promised Cornette something.
