Vince McMahon and WWE Backlash have a storied history. The boss failed to help The Rock regain the top title at the first-ever WWE Backlash event in 1999. Vince also has a history of winning titles at the WrestleMania aftermath event. One of them saw the birth of "Durag Vince" gimmick.
Mr. McMahon teamed up with Shane McMahon and Umaga against Bobby Lashley at WWE Backlash 2007. The three-on-one handicap match had Lashley’s ECW World Championship on the line. Vince tagged himself in the match after the Samoan hit a huge splash on The All Mighty from the top rope.
The Chairman made a quick attempt to pin the champion, winning the ECW World Championship in the process. This led to the start of the infamous “Durag Vince” gimmick. Here’s Vince McMahon winning the ECW title at WWE Backlash.
