9 WWE Moments That Prove Vince McMahon Has Been Going Blind For Years

3. Mainstream Ventures

The Obvious Course Of Action: While Vince can't be criticised for having mainstream ambitions, the clumsy way in which he attempted to transform the WWE into a far-reaching multimedia empire could have been reigned in and conducted in a far more careful manner. Vince's Course Of Action: The World Bodybuilding Federation; the XFL; WWE Films; the WWF New York restaurant - Vince McMahon has blown many millions of dollars on extravagant, overblown, and incredibly expensive business ventures, each of which has been underwhelming to say the least. These failed projects fuel the ongoing argument that Vince is secretly ashamed of running a wrestling business, a theory given more weight by his reluctance to even include the term 'wrestling' in his product. Commentators are constantly discouraged from using terms which acknowledge the traditional wrestling aspects of the action going on before them, and the name of the company was even legally changed from 'World Wrestling Entertainment' to simply 'WWE'. For whatever reason, McMahon seems desperate to distance himself from the industry which made him a success.
