Now, compare that segment to the one where Stone Cold came down to the ring and helped Mankind win the WWE title from The Rock.

#1 Garnering nuclear heat

When Vince McMahon was revealed as the higher power, every single fan in the arena booed him out of the building for playing with their emotions and stooping that low to get even with Austin.

Years later, Vince took on Stephanie McMahon in a Father-Daughter "I Quit" Match. Fans weren't thrilled with how Vince beat Stephanie throughout the bout. Also, the WWE Universe still remembers all the times Vince embarrassed Jim Ross on Live TV.

There are many more moments like these, but you get the idea. Vince McMahon always had the fans in the palms of his hands and knew exactly how to make them hate him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
