WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is famous for being a very hands-on boss, and even at the age of 74, he’s willing to take a crazy pro wrestling bump to demonstrate to his talent exactly how it should be done.
During his short-lived retirement from the NFL, Rob Gronkowski served as the host of WrestleMania 36 earlier this year, which was staged inside the WWE Performance Center without fans. During the show, Gronkowski was involved in a battle for the 24/7 Championship, and jumped off his perch onto a crowd of wrestlers, and eventually pinned R-Truth to win the title.
In a clip from WWE’s upcoming WWE 24 documentary on WrestleMania 36, McMahon walked Gronkowski through his platform jump, and demonstrated the move himself like a pro.

This isn’t the first time McMahon has gone the extra mile for a WrestleMania moment. Back in 1996 at WrestleMania XII, Shawn Michaels made an iconic zip line entrance to the ring from the top of the arena for his match with Bret Hart. Before the show, though, McMahon tested the setup and rode the zip line himself.
