One person in the building said those there caught it and had a reaction of “did that just happen?,” and that Vince McMahon said something to the nature of “not so bad, is it?” You may remember that Vince McMahon also did Shawn Michaels’ zipline entrance at the WrestleMania 12 rehearsals….though that was way back 24 years ago.
After our original story ran, a WWE name contacted us and said that Gronk was “terrified” of the dive, and that he had the benefit of a dozen of the biggest NXT guys catching him. Even after Vince McMahon did the spot, it took a significant amount of time to convince Gronkowski. The low angle you saw on TV was because production had to make it look better as Gronk bent his knees and practically fell off the platform “like a toddler jumping into the pool for the first time.”
You can see the dive below:
If a 74 year old Vince McMahon can do it, obviously Gronk can too.
