WWE: 13 Times Vince McMahon Went Way Too Far

By Alex Gordon /

The name Vincent Kennedy McMahon will surely go down in history as the man who changed professional wrestling forever. Undoubtedly, the man will be remembered as one of the greatest promoters of all time, not just within the wrestling industry, but in all of combat sports and show business as a whole, with his modern counterpart/rival Dana White picking him as one of the best. McMahon has always been a divisive figure, with some hardcore aficionados claiming what he promotes is no longer truly wrestling, but now sports entertainment, a term which the WWE themselves coined. It cannot be argued however, the great success that McMahon has achieved within this field. Since the acquisition of his Father's business in 1982, Vince has built stars and created moments that will last forever, he's staved off competition and prospered through boom periods. However, that isn't to say he has never made any mistakes or had a bad idea. For every Hulk Hogan or Rock there's a Nathan Jones. For every red hot angle such as Mr. McMahon Vs Steve Austin, there's an Invasion. For every genuinely funny skit (though these are rare) such as the anger management classes, there's Hornswoggle blowing up Coach. So, as you can imagine, coming up with the top 13 moments Vince went too far took a lot of whittling down. Most involve Vince directly whilst a few clearly have his fingerprints all over them. Some of these are simply angles that jumped the shark or jokes that you just know nobody found funny except Vince McMahon, whilst others are moments that are deeply disrespectful and some that should simply never have happened.
