What else can be said about Vince McMahon? If he ever had an autobiography, itd be the most eagerly anticipated book in wrestling history (and would have to be spread over five volumes). Born in North Carolina, he rose from childhood poverty with an abusive step-father to become a billionaire and arguably the greatest promoter in the world. He bought the World Wrestling Federation from his father, Vince Snr, in 1982 and modernised professional wrestling by creating The Rock n Wrestling Connection. A man with a huge ego and a strange sense of humour, McMahons hunger and quest for dominance has led to unsuccessful branches into bodybuilding and American Football. CM Punk famously called him: A millionaire who should be a billionaire. On-screen, the Mr McMahon character has been WWE Champion, been the Higher Power, beaten up one-legged wrestler Zach Gowen and faked his own death via an exploding limousine. Hes had his face rubbed in Big Shows a**, as well as forcing many others to kiss his. A proud performer of Stand Back at the 1987 Slammy Awards, Vinnie Mac is known for throaty catchphrase YOURE FIRED! and his ridiculous strut. In fact, the strut led him to tearing BOTH quads at the 2005 Royal Rumble! As well as being shaved bald by Donald Trump, McMahon has feuded with pandas and purchased his direct rival WCW. Therell never be another man like him. But such money and power brings a target to your back. Rightly or wrongly, McMahon has had several shocking accusations thrown his way over the years and this feature focuses on the 10 biggest.
