Two Vince McMahon posts in one day? Yup, two Vince McMahon posts in one day! And for good reason. Earlier today, we showed you the leaked notes that the WWE founder reportedly gave to his announcers a few years ago. Those notes have shed some light on how McMahon wants the WWE to be portrayed during live events. And now, we're here to tell you about McMahon's knowledge, or lack thereof, when it comes to adult films as well as the hesitancy he once felt when it came to hiring a female Asian wrestler.

According to Jim Ross, who talked about this on his most recent "Ross Report" podcast, McMahon was considering hiring Gail Kim back in the early 2000s but wasn't sure he wanted to do it. It sounds like he was unsure whether wrestling fans would like the Asian star. That is, until J.R. chimed in and told McMahon that there were a lot of popular Asian porn sites (SMH at that being the argument for hiring Kim). Here's how J.R. remembers the conversation going, courtesy of Squared Circle:

McMahon: "Do you want to hire this Asian girl, right?…I don't know, I just don't know."

You can listen to Ross talk about it at the 51:40 mark of the podcast below. If what Ross says here is true, doesn't his entire conversation with McMahon about hiring Kim seem…off?
