10 Plain Wrong Wrestling Myths Perpetuated By The IWC

10. Vince McMahon Is A Terrible Genius

With apologies to Adam Blampied...

Vince has dropped a few clangers in his time. That might be an understatement, come to think of it; we are after all discussing a man who once proposed a mercifully-jettisoned incest angle with daughter Stephanie yet approved the Katie Vick angle.

Vince, however, is responsible for the tiniest minutiae of what makes WWE great.

Disregarding his status as the finest star-creator in the history of wrestling and one of its greatest storytellers, examples of which are too legion to state here, Vince in conjunction with Kevin Dunn revolutionised the way in which wrestling television is produced.

When you were awed by the otherworldly presence of André The Giant and the Undertaker as a child, that's because Vince made the subtle yet ingenious decision to transpose cinematic techniques to his sports entertainment product, shooting them from low angles and rendering them literally larger than life.

His time has come. One need look no further than his scripting Roman Reigns to utter the words "sufferin' succotash" onscreen in 2015 for evidence of that. But he is a man who, even if under duress, has changed with the times time and time again to stay ahead of and brutally slay his competition.

The IWC are correct in deeming that he might be a racist genius. He might also be a perverted genius. He might be a flawed genius. But he's not a terrible genius.
