25 Greatest Superstars In WWE Raw History
7. Mr. McMahon
The only authority figure beyond the one he ripped off on Nitro to actually justify so much time on the show for a spell at least, Vince McMahon was a perfect foil for Stone Cold Steve Austin by virtue of being the only man 'The Rattlesnake' just couldn't topple.
Their push-pull relationship as boss and insubordinate subordinate was the backbone of the company's rocket-like ascent back into the American mainstream, and allowed Vince to (partially, at least) live out the performance dreams his father always quashed.
His story as a character is one of two halves, with an over-indulgence in pantomime villainy and a lack of rivals mirroring the charisma and chemistry of Austin later in his lifespan often diluting the legendary memories of his ratings-grabbing efforts with 'The Rattlesnake'. Unlike his idiotic daughter and doofus son-in-law and the rest of his stupid family, he's still a draw too. A Vince return almost always pops a number for the flagship. It's a testament to the treasured memories of the character that lapsed fans still return chasing another hit.
