Vince McMahon .... the man of Sports Entertainment. You can go up to just about anybody and ask them who he is - and they will know. Vince took over the Federation after his Father, Vince McMahon Senior, and created a worldwide phenominon which still carries on today. Vince McMahon is considered by many as being the founder of Sports Entertainment he coronated this many feel when he created WWF WrestleMania 1 which was broadcast live on Closed Circuit Television or CCTV on March 31st, 1985 from Madison Square Garden. At that event he combined Wrestlers and Stars.

In 2002 the McMahon family was getting sued by World Wildlife Foundation. They forced the McMahon Family to change the name. So Vince McMahon and his wife Linda agree to change the name. So it was World Wrestling Federation to the World Wrestling Entertainment. That caused the a saying, "Get the F' out!"

In 2006 Vince started to do a movie production called WWE Films. So far the WWE Films made two movies and premired it. See No Evil, Starting Glen Jacobs, who is Kane in the WWE, played Jacob Goodnight, a killer who takes out eyes of his victoms. The Marine, Starting John Cena, who played John Triden, a ex-marine who left the Marines because he went A-waol and goes home to his wife Kate (played by Kelly Carlson). The two of them goes on a road trip and stop at a gas station. When all of a sudden a bad guy name Rome (played by Robert Patrick) who is wanted by the police, kidnaps Kate and John is very mad and goes after her.

In 2007 WWE Flims are releasing another movie, called The Condemned, starting Steve William, who is known in the WWE as Stone Cold Steve Austin, whose Vince McMahon hates.

On June 11, 2007, WWE aired a segment at the end of RAW that featured McMahon entering a limousine moments before it exploded. The show went off-air shortly after, and WWE.com reported the angle within minutes as though it were a legitimate occurrence, proclaiming that McMahon was "presumed dead." Although this was the fate of the fictional "Mr. McMahon" character, no harm came to the actual person (the "presumed death" of Mr. McMahon was part of a storyline). WWE later acknowledged to CNBC that he was not truly dead.

The June 25, 2007 edition of RAW was scheduled to be a three-hour memorial to "Mr. McMahon". However, due to the actual sudden death of Chris Benoit, the show opened with Vince McMahon appearing in an empty arena, acknowledging that his reported death was only of his character as part of a storyline. This was followed by a tribute to Benoit that filled the three-hour timeslot.

I think that Vince McMahon has made some good business chocies and some bad choices. I think that he has treated Smackdown as a second fiddle, so he might as well just scrap it. Since he treats Raw as gold, it would make more sense if he just didn't bother trying to fool everyone into thinking that he cares for Smackdown and ECW when he doesn't care that much as much as Raw. I am not a fan of his and I will never be. The mainstream celebrities never really care for his product and there is a good reason. Thank you.

McMahon's legacy as a promoter will be legendary, however, the person himself is less than respectable and will be remember as a guy who only cares about making millions for the business and ignoring several touchy issues in wrestling. ...Continue »
On a scale of 1-10, as a promoter no doubt McMahon is a 10, as a person one would have to rate the person somewhere around a 1 or four. It's been obvious over the last decade or so it's clear McMahon's ego and his mannerism have taken a dive for the worse.

Despite all the tragedies in wrestling there's been very little done in terms of the health, sanity and overall perception of wrestling to the public. The wellness program the WWE has in place is shaky at best and is far, far too limited in it's use that it's almost a joke.

McMahon and the company have shown over time to care more about the business, money side things than everything else. The steroids scandal in the 90's was handled poorly by the WWE which basically denied the use. The WWE since still stands by this position and gives very little in terms of taking responsibility over their wrestlers.

It's not surprising to see McMahon with his critics, as he and the company bring this all on themselves. His tremendous contribution to wrestling, however, will never be taking away. He put the other companies out of business.

He's built up superstars from other feds that were underused -Jericho, Guerrero, and the late Chris Benoit and really gave them the opportunity to showcase their talents.

He created with input one of the most popular spectables in all wrestling named it "Wrestlemania" and from then on has created an empire, a monopoloy, on prowrestling. He is without a doubt, a smart business man. As a person, though, I can't say I admire him. I'am a wrestling fan who watches wrestling from any company, however, looking at Vince over the past decades has made me lose respect for him the way he approaches several touchy issues.

Instead, of standing up for what's right and trying to clean up the business more, instead as a businessman he cares more about the business side of things.

He is not just the chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment, but Vincent Kennedy McMahon is truly one of the greatest people ever to be known from wrestling itself. He has really worked his way up ever since he bought the business from his father back in 1982. He has been a play-by-play announcer, wrestler, and of course the man in charge. The boss. You don't cross the boss. Because he is the boss. And that is the bottom line, because I said so.
