5 Times Vince McMahon Danced On Camera

Vince McMahon is known as a revolutionary and a visionary. He transformed the sports entertainment business from a regional phenomenon to the global powerhouse that WWE is today. People know him as a genius, as a philanthropist and also as a man who has sacrificed everything for our entertainment. They do not know him as a dancer, though.

When I first had the idea for this article, I scoured the internet to find 5 instances of Vince McMahon dancing. Little did I know how easy they would be to find. It does seem like Vince McMahon not only likes to dance, but to an extent, he's actually pretty good.

Please leave a comment and let me know if you think Vince McMahon should bust out more dance moves, maybe with No Way Jose or The Singh Brothers. Who knows...one day we may just see this transpire.

Here is my list of McMahon's top 5 dance moments, for your viewing pleasure.

#5 Truth TV at SmackDown 1000

Presenting the video that inspired this article. To celebrate the 1000th episode of SmackDown, we were graced with a special edition of Truth TV at the top of the show. Who else would show up but the chairman of the board himself? Vince McMahon appeared for the sole purpose of asking his two children to stop their squabbling ahead of the show at hand, this week.

With the situation under control, McMahon called for a dance break and jived with Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Carmella and R-Truth. In a show packed with several surprises, this was the most surprising moment by far. Vince McMahon will win no awards for the actual quality of his dance moves, but then again the crowd was hot.

McMahon is in great shape for his age, even now. As we travel back in time, we realize that dance could be the reason for his fitness!

#4 With Hulk Hogan playing bass

Let's travel all the way back to the 80s for this special dance video featuring Vince McMahon. Only in this case, it's a much different and younger Vince McMahon accompanied by a variety of dancers matching him move for move. Even though he wasn't the television character we would love to hate back then, you could see just how charismatic he is, in his character.

An interesting side note is that you can see Hulk Hogan playing bass in this video. This was live at the Slammy Awards all the way back in 87, at the height of Hulkamania. It doesn't get any more 80s than this video!

This is just a glimpse of just how many eras of sports entertainment Vince McMahon has influenced (and continues to influence) in his lifetime with his dedication and work ethic. And of course, all his dance moves as well.

#3 With Dude Love and some Attitude Era girls

WWE has always been the industry leader when it comes to sports entertainment action. Well, actually this has been the case for most of its existence except for a period in the middle when WCW was destroying WWE in the ratings.

Vince McMahon embarked on a brave new path where he introduced adult-themed content to compete with WCW. And thus, the Attitude Era was born for all to enjoy.

Hulkamania was over, and Stone Cold Steve Austin became the face of this particular era. On an episode of RAW, when Austin was at odds with Dude Love, Vince McMahon came to the stage with a bevy of scantily clad women. This was a pretty ordinary sight back then, but what happened next shocked almost everyone.

Vince McMahon started dancing with the ladies that accompanied him. Even Stone Cold Steve Austin could not really keep a straight face.

#2 The Billion Dollar Strut

Hulk Hogan was involved in the first video, and he was the face of the company when the video was originally filmed. In the second video, we see Stone Cold Steve Austin, yet another man who defined an era for WWE and became a household name. In this video, we deal with his successor, a man known as John Cena.

Vince McMahon makes a match in this video, where he pits John Cena and Shawn Michaels against Triple H and Shane McMahon. He is so happy that he's made this tag team match, that Vince McMahon decides to start dancing. The dance is exaggerated and quite ridiculous, and once you've seen it, it will haunt you for the rest of your life.

I like the fact that he made his trademark strut into this dance move. Yes, that's pretty much all I like about this video, readers.

#1 Grooving with both Cameron and Naomi

They say that Vince McMahon will never ask you to do what he will not do himself. Over the years, he's done a lot for our entertainment including dropping his trousers on live television, asking babyfaces galore to kiss his rear end. Therefore, in comparison, this video is quite tame and quite honestly, not all that scandalous. However, the sight of Vince McMahon dancing with Cameron and Naomi is absolutely unforgettable indeed.

Perhaps the best moment of this video is the part when Zack Ryder confronts McMahon. Ryder is aghast and shocked when he sees Vince McMahon busting out the dance moves. McMahon greets him with his trademark 'Woo woo woo' catchphrase, in response.

The fact remains that while Vince McMahon may not be the best dancer in the world, he is someone who puts everything on the line to bring us quality entertainment every week. And for this we say, thank you Mr. McMahon.
