7. Vince McMahon Wearing The USWA Championship (1993)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI_1cW-1xZc Everything about the brief co-promotional run that Vince McMahon and the WWF had with the USWA in 1993 is awesome. It's the first time we see heel Vince, and the first time as well that he gets to cut the sh*t-talking heel promos that he grew up watching the likes of Dr. Jerry Graham cut in his dad's territory. Sadly, he doesn't have a cigar to light with a $100 bill, but wearing Jerry "The King" Lawler's USWA Championship that Tatanka had just won is fantastic enough. Somewhere in the midst of Jerry Jarrett being slated to run the WWF if Vince were incarcerated during the steroid trials and Lawler working for the WWF there's this space where Vince McMahon thought it would be fun to be like Andy Kaufman and be the big sh*t talking heel that waltzed into Memphis Rasslin. Simply put, this is such a historic promo.
