It's likely a secret to no one here that the majority owner and CEO of the WWE, Vince McMahon, might be a tad bit crazy. Credit where credit is due, he is absolutely the king of professional wrestling and is up there in terms of the smartest businessmen alive today.
His achievements cannot be understated, but when you line them up with some of the things he's done over the years, you may start to question some of his ideas.
After all, this is the man who suggested an incest angle between himself and his daughter, as well as using the 'N' word while walking past Booker T on PPV...and those didn't even make the list! The man knows no limits; if he sees money in an idea, he will push for that idea.
Luckily for him, he doesn't have to push too hard either, as many of his wildest fantasies have found their way onto our TV screens. Let's go over 7 of the times Vince McMahon may or may not have lost his mind in the WWE.
#6 Feuding against Donald Trump
Don't let the picture fool you, these two have not always been on good terms. Over a decade ago, Donald Trump and Vince McMahon had a feud that led into WrestleMania. McMahon really is the boss, he's gone into WrestleMania facing Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, his own son, and even an eventual President of the United States.
Stemming from a request Trump made to fight Vince himself at WrestleMania 23, the pair instead decided to pick representatives and let them fight for the honor of each billionaire.
Bobby Lashley sided with Trump, while Umaga stood proudly for Big Vinnie. Considering both men had way too much power in life for a loss to really mean anything, they agreed to put something on the line that each man took great pride in and would have suffered massively to lose; their hair.
This didn't work out too kindly for Vinnie Mac, as Lashley ended up besting Umaga and winning the match. This led to Donald Trump, Bobby Lashley, and Steve Austin holding down the chairman of the WWE and forcefully shaving him bald... it was a sight to see.
#5 Bark like a dog
Vince has had a shockingly large amount of encounters with the women he's employed over the years, yet between the Stacy Keibler dancing, the Candice Michelle groping, and everything he did to poor, sweet Linda McMahon, this moment always sticks out to me.
During a storyline that saw Vince starting a new relationship with Trish Stratus whilst drugging his own wife into a comatose state (I repeat, poor, sweet Linda), Vince and Trish took to the ring and proceeded to take things to a new level of offensive nature.
Vince wanted Trish to prove her loyalty to her new boy-toy and decided the best way for her to do that was to strip down to her bra and panties in front of thousands in live attendance, and millions watching back at home.
If Trish having to stand around practically naked in the ring was bad, you're really gonna hate where this one is going. Vince didn't think this was enough, and in his mind, the best way for her to prove her loyalty was to get down on her hands and knees, and bark like a dog... and she did it.
Families had to watch this live...families with children.
#4 The Kiss My A** club
William Regal. Jim Ross. Shawn Michaels. Shane McMahon. Mick Foley. Hornswoggle. Listed above are four of the most well-respected members of professional wrestling history, Vince McMahon's own son, and a leprechaun, and all of them were lucky enough to be a member to one of the most exclusive clubs within the entirety of pro wrestling. From the mind of Vince McMahon himself, the Kiss My A** Club.
This one really needs no explanation, membership is acquired exactly how it sounds. Vince loosens the belt, drops the pants, and bends over while you kiss the CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment's butt on live TV. We knew he liked it when people kissed up to him, but we didn't realize how far he took the saying.
And seriously, his own son? That's genuinely disturbing.
#3 Fighting Stephanie McMahon in an "I Quit" Match
Is there really anything worse than violently beating your own daughter on live PPV until she's literally forced to plea for her safety? Well, yes, but we'll get to those later.
As for No Mercy 2003, can you believe this was advertised as a means to sell a PPV? People were paying money to watch a father beat a daughter to the brink of saying "I quit", why!
The match saw Stephanie get essentially zero offense in, while Vince applied submission after submission after submission on his daughter. I feel like I'm saying that a lot, but I can't seem to emphasize the point enough that Stephanie McMahon is his daughter. Flesh and blood, the person you're supposed to love and care for more than anyone else in the world, and he's got her in a choke-hold...great.
The match ended rather quickly, thankfully, but Vince wasn't done with the terrorizing of McMahon women. Linda came into the ring after the bell rang, and Vince grabbed her face before throwing her to the ground and waltzing on out with Sable wrapped around his arm. Now that's a family man.
#2 Blowing himself up... and reviving himself
Vince McMahon has many tricks up his sleeve, and apparently one of them is resurrection. But to be resurrected in the first place, that'd mean he'd have to be dead, right? Oh, unfortunately, that is where this one's going.
Back in 2007 when the programming was getting fairly stale, Vince decided he needed to do something to spice up his product, and in his mind, the best possible solution was to walk into a limousine and then blow up.
I really wish I wasn't being serious, but that's what happened. June 19th will forever be remembered as the day that Vince McMahon blew up in a limousine... and then ended up coming back to life just a few weeks later.
Yes, of course, once light was shed on the Chris Benoit incident, he realized it would be awful to play dead while one of his employees was actually being found dead. So he figured we would all just forget about the past and act normal when Mr. McMahon, who weeks previous had been murdered via explosion, walked out onto Monday Night Raw.
#1 Fighting God
What else? How could anything else possibly trump the greatest moment in all of professional wrestling? Backlash 2006 will go down in the history books as the moment in time when Vince McMahon actually booked himself in a match against God...and won.
Vince McMahon seriously booked himself in a tag team match with his son against Shawn Michaels and God, who was portrayed as a spotlight, and ended up winning... this part truly cannot be overstated. He has a victory over God.
If this wasn't bad enough, the feud saw all sorts of insane moments, like Vince and Shane shaming a church and insulting the holy water, as well as the infamous moment where he tells God to "get jiggy with it" and starts dancing.
