5 biggest splurges by WWE Superstars

The competition

In the storyline, Shane McMahon purchased WCW and brought it under the WWF brand.

Was there really a better way to finish this list than with someone who actually bought his biggest competitor? You see, that’s exactly what Vince McMahon did in 2001 as WCW was in its final days as a company.

After years of battling during the Monday Night Wars, the WWE – then the WWF – purchased its top competition and made the purchase a part of the storyline, in which Shane McMahon actually bought the company out from under his father. In reality, it was all becoming a part of the McMahon empire that also included ECW, another major competitor.
