Despite not being a wrestler, Vince McMahon sure has been in a lot of great wrestling matches.

In fact, apart from his absolute shocker with Bret Hart at WrestleMania XXVI, every single one of his 'Mania matches has been a standout.

His match at 22 with Shawn Michaels - great. His match with Hulk Hogan at XIX - great. But perhaps the pick of the litter is his match at WrestleMania X-7, where he took on his own flesh and blood.

Vince had been embroiled in a storyline ripped straight from a telenovella. He was cheating on his wife, Linda, with a much younger woman (Trish Stratus), all whilst Linda was in a medically induced coma. To reclaim his mother's honour, Shane challenged his father to a Street Fight at WrestleMania, which would be refereed by Mick Foley, who Vince had recently fired as Commissioner of the WWF.

Did you get all that?

The match itself was an overblown, overcooked delight of a soap opera. There was violence, betrayal, and a stunning moment where Zombie Linda rose out of her wheelchair and kicked Vince square in the nuts.

Say what you will about Vinnie Mac, but the man knows how to put on a show.
