10 Most Shocking WWE Revelations Ever

10. Vince McMahon Is The Greater Power

Undermining months of tension between Vince McMahon and The Undertaker just to find a brand new way for The Chairman to screw with Stone Cold Steve Austin, the plot-holes were written off for the good of the shock when McMahon outed himself as the Greater/Higher Power in an Attitude Era swerve turn for the ages.

It was, of course, utterly absurd. McMahon callously throwing Stephanie and Linda McMahon into the waiting arms of the demonic 'Deadman' was par for the course, but the countless weeks his internal struggles with Shane couldn't possibly have been written off as "part of the plan" were washed aside in order for WWE to arrive at the next checkpoint in the Austin angle.

This part of the hand was played well - 'The Rattlesnake' was shown his identity one week earlier but was given a storyline reason to keep schtum when he was given the keys to the entire company. All sound storyline reasoning for Stone Cold and The McMahons to go to war in a ladder match for the lot. Amidst a lot of silliness, the thrilling tension around the angle held it aloft as one of the company's best ever reveals.
