Vince McMahon - at the forefront of WWE entertainment

Vince McMahon

Unlike other promoters, Vince, apart from being blessed with a terrific business acumen, is also a talented performer and starting off with his evil ‘Mr. McMahon’ persona, has had memorable feuds with the likes of Steve Austin, the Rock, Triple H, Mick Foley and others which became a part of the mainstream folklore and helped WWF push back the challenge of WCW in the late 90s.

By the early 2000s, it became what it is today, the single largest wrestling promotion in the world.

You would think a businessman such as him would be sitting behind a desk with his pen, jotting notes, but he’s the most hands-on boss one would know as he has taken every single bump that his employees do to make a living.

Vince has continued to be involved on and off in onscreen storylines and is as entertaining as ever, but if the accounts of his employees are anything to go by, he is as involved now with the behind the scenes working of the company as he was before.

Unlike the onscreen character he plays, his employees are all in awe of him, and while they may agree or disagree with him on things, respect is something that he has earned from everyone who knows him and has dealt with him.

The Mr. McMahon character is far from being a wrap though as the family, whatever is left of it, is still featured prominently onscreen and with Triple H being the heir apparent in the running of the company, things should get interesting for the now 68-year-old Mr. McMahon.

But, for all the worried folks out there, he may just outlive everyone and we may get to see him say those famous words to his son-in-law, “YOU’RE FIRED!”

A very happy birthday to the competitor, the winner, the genius Vincent K. McMahon.
