#3 Genius – The Mr. McMahon character
Vince McMahon spent the early part of his on-screen career in WWE as an announcer. At the time, most fans still thought Jack Tunney was the man in charge. Things changed after the Montreal Screwjob and after his infamous promo explaining his actions on RAW, he and Vince Russo decide to run with the heat McMahon was getting from fans. Thus the Mr. McMahon character was born.
Mr. McMahon ended up becoming one of the most iconic characters in the history of professional wrestling and led to McMahon vs Austin which we will get to later.

#3 Not Genius – The original XFL
The original XFL was a total disaster. WWE’s attempt at running their own football league just didn’t work out and both WWE and NBC took a massive financial hit from it. When ratings took a hit after the first week or so, Vince tried to salvage it by adding more WWE like elements to it but it never worked out.
The XFL will return once again in 2020 and let’s hope Vince has learned his lesson from the original disaster.
