Ever since Vince McMahon turned into an on-screen villain back in the mid to late 90s, he has had legendary rivalries with the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, D-Generation X, and many more. During the Attitude Era, Austin made Vince wet his pants on TV as he threatened him with a gun. Years later, D-Generation X dropped tons of waste on Vince, Shane, and The Spirit Squad on an episode of WWE RAW, in an incident that proved how far Vince was ready to go to garner ratings and publicity.

A villain getting his comeuppance is bound to get views, and Vince made a fortune based on this fact. He let himself get embarrassed on live TV on several occasions, at the hands of some of his top Superstars, and it paid off well when all was said and done. He had turned himself into possibly the most hated villain in all of wrestling, and fans didn't mind paying to see him get embarrassed by WWE's top babyfaces.
