5 Quick Facts About Vince McMahon

Vince McMahon is arguably the most influential person to ever work in the professional wrestling business.

#4 – He Has Some Crazy Ideas

We’ve seen a lot of questionable storylines over the years but what about the ones that didn’t make it to TV? Stephanie McMahon once revealed in an interview that while she was pregnant Vince wanted to do a storyline where he was to be revealed as the father of her child.

#3 – He Was ECW Champion And WWE Champion

Vince McMahon was in a heated rivalry with Triple H during The Attitude Era which led to Triple H putting the title on the line in a match against Vince. With the help of Steve Austin, Vince became WWE Champion. His reign didn’t last long as he vacated the title soon after.

The WWE Championship isn’t the only major title Vince held. In a questionable move Vince beat Bobby Lashley to become ECW Champion. He held the title for 35 days and many people feel as if it was a bit of a slap in the face to the legacy of ECW.
