What is the origin of the nickname cokeboy?

#TSC special. it refers to Vince's affinity for cocaine(particularly in the 80s) and all the fukkery that we get as a result of it. cuz...no way a sober man would come up with some of the ideas that Vince has.

Wasn't it @Singh who came up with it?

From Ring of Hell: The Story of Chris Benoit and the Fall of the Pro Wrestling Industry

According to numerous sources, McMahon had a great love affair with cocaine that may or may not have ever subsided; "he liked to brag with apparent justification that 'I can snort as much of that stuff as anyone can put in front of me and never get hooked."
One WWE employee of recent years told me, "The boys and former office staff use euphemisms when they talk about Vince's 'energy.' You'll hear it in things like, 'I don't know where he gets all the energy..... He doesn't ever seem to sleep!' The inside joke about it is that sixty-something Vince most likely isn't that energetic over multi-day sleepness stretches without help. I've seen him so wired that his eyes looked like they were going to pop."

The movie was produced by Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon, only to be distributed by New Line Cinema after completion. When the first draft of the script was turned in, Hogan and McMahon disapproved of it, so they checked into a hotel in Redington Beach, Florida, and spent 3 days rewriting the script together. It’s rumored that they stayed up all 72 hours high on coke.
