The Complete A-Z Of WrestleMania
5. V - Vince McMahon
As impossible as it seems, one day, Vince McMahon will die. However, everything he ever created as doyen of a company bought from his own father will live forever in his image, thanks to WrestleMania.
The ever-changing face of WWE means that great performers will come and go, and the industry will experience great highs and cavernous lows, but WrestleMania rigidly remains a constant.
Even now, as the company experiences radical alterations to talent acquisition, developmental progression and overhauls to the look and feel of the product, WrestleMania remains Vince's big night.
It's professional wrestling at its brightest and biggest, just how he always saw it. It drags in outsiders, like he always wanted, and flirts with the mainstream in a way he's always desired.
McMahon has gone on record before as claiming that the first WrestleMania was a do-or-die gamble for the company, but since the mammoth success of the inaugural event, 'The Showcase of the Immortals' has remained the biggest global stage in all of wrestling, and is likely to remain that way for generations to come.
