#4. The Son Surpasses The Father
At Wrestlemania 17, despite ending the night with an unfathomable deal. Vince McMahon got comeuppance in the undercard for his heinous actions against the fans, wrestlers and his family through a Shane McMahon beat down assisted by Linda McMahon and Trish Stratus. It was a cathartic beginning to the unofficial end of the Attitude Era.
At the precipice of their bout, the feud between the McMahon father and son took an interesting turn when WWE bought out WCW. As such Wrestlemania 17 was a celebration of the company, but also the start of a new angle. In a storyline twist, Shane McMahon had bought out WCW to challenge his father.
This came in the form of an Invasion which rid the company of temporary feuds and alliances, for WWE's best to stave off this madness concocted by a vengeful Shane. What this gradually saw was the young McMahon turn heel, due to a pro-WWE crowd. While the still scheming and manipulative got a bit of leeway from fans as he built a team to take out the abomination of the Alliance.
For a moment father and son were at a crossroads, where the young lion finally had the elder one down and out of the pack. Vince being Vince, of course, came roaring back.
