10 Indisputable Reasons Why Vince McMahon Is Not A Genius

10. He€™s Created Many, Many Awful Characters

Even a genius is going to fail from time to time, and come up with some terrible ideas throughout their careers. Thomas Edison had the ridiculous idea of creating an electric pen. David Chase made the unfortunate choice of having Tony Soprano€™s mom appear on the show even after she died in real life. Everyone has a dud or two. But can having literally hundreds of awful ideas, and trotting them out on TV still allow you to be labeled a genius? The answer is no.

Where can you even begin to start with some of the asinine and idiotic characters that Vince has created over the years? Actually, I know exactly where to start, the current roster! Right now, we have a small man in a bull costume, a former leprechaun, a ballroom dancer, a man who just dresses up as Abe Lincoln and a few more questionable characters.

Then, if we dig into the past a little, things become downright frightening. How about Friar Ferguson, The Dicks, The Goon, Duke €œThe Dumpster€ Droese, The Spirit Squad, Kerwin White, Mantaur, Max Moon, Naked Mideon, Aldo Montoya, Phantasio, Abe €œKnuckleball€ Schwartz, Eugene, Fake Kane, Fake Undertaker, Fake Diesel and Razor Ramon, Isaac Yankem, Bastion Booger, Saba Simba, Meat, Deuce and Domino and yes, many, many more.

It's hard to know where to stop with all the ridiculous and doomed to fail characters McMahon has allowed on his TV shows over the years. It's a never ending sea of garbage. You would think he, more than anyone, would know what does and does not work.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
