#1 Vince McMahon Admits Wrestling Is Scripted
February 10, 1989, was the day that it was publicly revealed that pro wrestling was scripted. It was perhaps the biggest and the most debatable decision ever made by Vince McMahon. To avoid the regulations of the Athletic Commission and save hundreds of thousands of dollars of the company, McMahon sought to have wrestling removed from a list of commission-regulated sports.

Vince McMahon representing WWF in front of the New Jersey State Senate defined pro wrestling as- "an activity in which participants struggle hand-in-hand primarily for the purpose of providing entertainment to spectators rather than conducting a bona fide athletic contest.".
These lines confirmed the suspicions of everyone around the world- pro wrestling was scripted. This news sparked a wildfire among the wrestling fans around the world and the mystique around wrestling was gone. Some fans even stated that wrestling will die, but Vince McMahon proved everyone wrong and created a multi-billion dollar company which currently has over a billion global social media followers.
No one can deny the fact that Vince McMahon has made some controversial decisions, but one, cannot also deny the fact that some of those decisions have helped WWE and pro wrestling as a whole to come this far.
