3 Times Vince McMahon was a genius and 3 times he wasn't

#1. A genius - WrestleMania

WrestleMania was the brainchild of Vince McMahon

WrestleMania may be the single greatest concept that Vince McMahon has ever come up with. When asked how he came up with WrestleMania, McMahon described it as a "no brainer."

He referred to the fact that the NFL had the Superbowl, the MLB had the World Series, football had the FIFA World Cup, so it only made sense that WWE had their own grand spectacle.

The very first WrestleMania took place at Madison Square Garden in 1985, where it was showcased on closed circuit televisions in the United States. The story goes that WrestleMania was the biggest gamble in WWE history.

Many times, Mr. McMahon stated that, had the first WrestleMania not worked, WWE may have fallen altogether. Some might dispute that, but it's still incredible to think that McMahon created the grand spectacle - one that started with Madison Square Garden and now annually sells out stadiums of 75,000-80,000 people on an average.

Every year, WrestleMania grows stronger as a brand, and it's all McMahon's vision.
