10 Wrestlers That Lied To Get What They Wanted

10. Vince McMahon Won’t Go National/Global

...just kidding! Yes, yes that was a lie. Sorry.

Vince McMahon Jr formed 'Titan Sports' in 1980, but he didn't take control of his father's WWF operation until 1982. The elder McMahon was a respectful sort who wanted assurances that his boy would follow old-timey ground rules by working alongside other promoters and adhering to territory guidelines.

Lil' Vinnie said he would, which was a lie. Within a few years of seizing control, McMahon Jr had aggressively expanded the WWF into a national operation, and he wouldn't stop there. Vince had big dreams - he wanted to make the WWF a global force, and that meant he couldn't play nice with the NWA or anyone else.

There's a fair chance McMahon Sr wouldn't have sanctioned a sale had he known what his son planned to do. Vince Jr knew that, so he concealed the truth for as long as possible before swaggering into everyone else's locker rooms and cherry-picking their biggest stars.
