#2 His father created the promotion that is now WWE
Jess McMahon, Vince Sr.'s father, began co-promoting boxing events in the early years of the 20th century, along with his brother Roderick. The duo also promoted a basketball team for a brief period, but Jess soon split up with his brother and began promoting wrestling shows independently.

This was a tough nut to crack for Jess, as television was yet to be invented and pro-wrestling wasn't gaining much recognition. Nevertheless, Jess somehow managed to keep his promotion running for decades on end, and was dubbed by many as one of the best bookers in the region. Eventually, he teamed up with Toots Mondt to create the Capitol Wrestling Corporation in 1952, but died a couple of years later. The CWC was left in the hands of Vince Sr. who turned it into one of the biggest promotions in North America.
