5 moments when fans genuinely liked Vince McMahon

#3 Vince assists Triple H against Legacy

The road to WrestleMania 25 saw Randy Orton getting into a feud with the McMahon family. Orton not only attacked Vince McMahon, but he also disclosed that he suffered from "Intermittent Explosive Disorder", and threatened to sue the McMahons for knowing about the condition and doing nothing about it.

Orton went on to attack Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon, and was scheduled to fight Triple H for the WWE title at WrestleMania. The go-home show of Raw saw Triple H getting help from Vince and Shane to fend off The Legacy, consisting of Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Ted Dibiase. The trio managed to put down security personnel and proceeded to engage in a brawl with the villains, receiving a big pop from the crowd in the process.

The execution of the segment is what makes the WWE such a treat to watch. Vince made his way down to the ring to a huge pop, followed by his son Shane. McMahon could be seen removing his blazer and folding his cuffs, indicating that he was in for a fight. The crowd lost it when Triple H next came onboard and the trio proceeded to attack whatever moved.

Even though Vince labored his way to attack Dibiase, it made for a splendid television viewing.

Vince again nailed the role of a fatherly figure, who would go to any lengths to save his family.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
