10 Wrestlers Vince McMahon Couldn't Get Over

4. Vince's Devils

He got over them alright. Or at least one leg amirite?!

No, imwrong, as was the Vince's Devils gimmick ostensibly designed to give Candice Michelle, Torrie Wilson and Victoria something to do as the Divas division on Raw divided sharply between those that could wrestle and those that were flooding the show thanks to the "Athletic Tens" mandate.

As Michelle and Wilson strived to get better and Victoria did her best with some of the dross, McMahon put himself in amongst them - Michelle specifically - at the height of his megalomania. In 2006, he was five years into a monopoly, working Shawn Michaels in a WrestleMania show-stealer and getting his admittedly very impressive boobs out on the cover of Muscle & Fitness magazine. He was all of these things, and truly believed he could be anything else he wished.

This might have resulted in finding a cure for labiagytus, but it certainly didn't prep the decimated division for the impending departures of Trish Status and Lita.
