5 times Vince McMahon broke character in WWE

#1 Vince McMahon comes out at WrestleMania XX to thank the WWE Universe

WrestleMania XX was a milestone event, as it was the show's 20th version since Vince McMahon's promotion had presented the first WrestleMania in Madison Square Garden in 1985. Several major storylines were resolved at the event, with the most memorable one being Chris Benoit's decades-long journey to World Championship success. The final visual of WrestleMania XX saw two best friends, Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, hugging it out in the middle of the ring and celebrating their triumphs.

At one point during the show, Vince McMahon himself came out and addressed the WWE Universe. He thanked the fans for their support and for helping him turn WrestleMania into a major event. Vince also acknowledged WrestleMania's tagline of "Where it all begins... again", and left for the back. Vince McMahon was one of WWE's top heel over the past one year or so and had feuded with the likes of Stephanie McMahon and The Undertaker. His out-of-character speech was met with loud cheers by fans at MSG that night.

About the author

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

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.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
