| 2 | 14.04.2024 | IDriveAFordFusion | | I won't give Vince McMahon an official rating due to the controversy surrounding him both past and currently, but I can give him a review. Usually, with Vince McMahon, it's easy to overlook his accomplishments in wrestling mainly due to him being a wretched person in real life and as a businessman, but it CANNOT be understated that Vince McMahon helped make wrestling into a mainstream commodity that helped transform how the industry is seen in the public eye. It also cannot be forgotten that some of the greatest superstars were pushed by/promoted by Vince McMahon, talking about Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena, The Undertaker, and several others, if Vince hadn't bothered pushing many of those names, the Industry would be a lot different today and I'm not sure if it would be for better or worse. However, many of his accomplishments are going to be either forgotten or overshadowed by himself, yes, Vince is his own worst enemy and screwed himself and if I was rating him as a person, he'd be an absolute 0 with possibly a negative rating. His sadistic views towards women and treatment of some performers and personalities are going to make most wrestling fans view Vince in a negative light and even if he somehow survives the current lawsuit that he is being implicated in, I don't ever want to see Vince McMahon in charge of anything related to Professional wrestling EVER again, it's clear that wrestling has moved past Vince McMahon and now that his son-in-law has control over booking and some of the top management roles, the Vince McMahon era of wrestling is finally over. |
| 3 | 14.04.2024 | ultravioletshiroi | | Before I say this let it be clear that Vince has always (on SOME levels) had a negative hand in his own company creatively, especially as it pertains to women wrestlers. BUT I DO NOT THINK a SINGLE person in wrestling history comes close to Vince McMahon in terms of screwing himself and everyone else over. As a businessman, entertainer and even as a wrestler he was like no other. Say what you want, whether that's good or bad but he was like no other. As an on-screen heel he played the role incredibly well and as a businessman he was no different. As a person in real-life of course, as we all know he was incredibly complex but had a dark side when it came to how he treated women he found attractive as many men do but it doesn't make anything he did right. I cannot even rate this man so I cast my rating aside. |

| 7 | 01.04.2024 | Dntbamark | | Vince is an incredibly difficult individual to rate within the wrestling business. On one hand, he took calculated risks and brought WWF wrestling to the mainstream, to heights few could ever imagine. I consider him very similar to that of wrestling's version of PT Barnum, he took wrestling from the it's roots within the circus to a global mainstream entertainment platform. On the flip side, he systematically killed all his competition and molded the business in a way that only he could succeed in it. As an on-screen character, there was no greater villain than that of Mr. McMahon. With hindsight being what it is, you can see the reasons that the character worked so well was because like many other great gimmicks in wrestling, it was all because it was every much the person Vince was behind-the-scenes. A ruthless and calculated businessman, who for years thrived off the backs of his exploited performers and was willing to run over anyone and anything that stood in his way. A man who would manipulate talent to push themselves to the brink of insanity in order to grab that "brass ring, " all the while not knowing, you were never going to be able to grasp it unless he wanted you to. |

| 10 | 24.03.2024 | LiterallyExpert | 4.0 | As a booker in the Attitude Era, Vince capitalized on what the fans wanted which propelled the WWE to a level of mainstream permanently. Following the Attitude Era though, he failed as a booker, booking shows for the sole amusement of himself and no longer the fans at the detriment of the company. This continued for about twenty years where he ruled the Wrestling industry with an iron fist, when competition came around he refused to change the product and continued to try and have the company sink. He had to be let go from his position after the world learned how much of a PR nightmare he was, and the company finally flourished proving how much of a handicap he was to the industry. Vince was one of the most frequent best talkers in the business for decades however it cannot overshadow his legacy as the worst thing that ever happened to wrestling. |
| 11 | 21.03.2024 | juiceisloose | | I believe everyone knew he had done awful things throughout his life but there hadn't been hard evidence or the highly needed media coverage to be able to back it up. Until now of course. Was he a good character and helped grow wrestling as a whole? Yes. Is he also a huge pos who is a rapist and an abuser? Yes. I'm just glad he's getting the backlash he should be getting and more. However, It's just sad that all this shit has came up so late and that he won't be held accountable as he really should've been. |
| 12 | 10.03.2024 | ElnurMil | 10.0 | The greatest man in the world of professional wrestling. The man who created not even an entire industry, but the cultural code of the United States. And no thick-headed girl can shake his legacy. |
| 13 | 05.03.2024 | Excellence of Execution | | Vince McMahon ist der bekannteste Wrestling Promoter aller Zeiten. Ein Titel, den ihm kaum jemand nehmen wird. Als er damals die anderen Territorien im Konkurrenzkampf ausstach und Wrestling landesweit unter seinem Banner vereinte, entschied er eigentlich nur einen Wettbewerb für sich, den es (eingedenk des erstmals landesweiten Kabelfernsehens) so oder so gegeben hätte. Bei den zwei Wrestling Booms, die es seither in Nordamerika gegeben hat, war Vince McMahon immer eine zentrale Figur. Überdies ist er der einzige Promoter, der Wrestling dauerhaft weltweit vermarkten konnte. Und der mit großem Abstand einzige, der dabei kommerziell derart erfolgreich war. Es wäre nur schön, wenn er sich dazu auch mal wieder hätte bekennen können. Aber Wrestling war in der WWE ja irgendwann ein böses Wort. Anschließend stand sich Vince McMahon mit seinem Kontrollwahn immer mehr im Weg. Das Ganze getragen und möglich durch eine Armee von Schreibern, die bei der WWE alles durchgetaktet hat (was irgendwann endgültig mein Interesse an der WWE komplett verflachen ließ). EDIT: Vince McMahon war offensichtlich schon immer eine ambivalente Figur für mich. Allerdings kam ich nie umhin, ihn für sein Lebenswerk zu respektieren. Doch sollte das alles stimmen, was ihm nun vorgeworfen wird (und danach sieht es momentan leider aus), dann hat er in der Tat einen großen Haufen auf selbiges Lebenswerk gesch****en. Alle, die wissen worum es geht, werden verstehen, dass diese Formulierung nicht zufällig gewählt ist. Halte mich mit einer Bewertung vorerst zurück, bis sich (so weit das überhaupt möglich ist) zeigt, was davon alles stimmt und was nicht. Aber wo Rauch ist, ist bekanntermaßen auch Feuer .... und bei Vinnie Mac qualmt es momentan an allen Ecken und Enden. |

| 15 | 20.02.2024 | TheDeity | | Historically speaking, there isn't a single more influential wrestling personality in the entire business than Vince McMahon. It's fine to dislike his booking decisions or allegations toward hom, but rating him lower than 10/10 is dishonest for various reasons, such as: - He led a small wrestling company to become the biggest in the industry by a significant margin. - That company (WWE) is worth billions and still gets excellent viewership today, whereas all other wrestling competitors are niche by comparison. - Vince can play a great heel and was part of an iconic rivalry against Stone Cold. - Vince was also a solid announcer, if underrated. - He dominated the wrestling scene for decades. Without Vince, wrestling would be nowhere near as popular in the US (and most of the rest of the world, too). However, I cannot in good conscious rate somebody with the current scandals and controversies so highly at the moment. |

| 19 | 08.02.2024 | Pigeon Scratch | 0.0 | There are plenty of good things he has done for professional wrestling as a whole, such as creating the biggest platform for American wrestling, and ultimately changing the business as a whole for the better, as well as bringing up some of the biggest boom periods Wrestling has seen in the western hemisphere. If it wasn't for him, wrestling would be dramatically different and in my opinion, way worse product. But, despite all of that, all the negative things he has done and is related to is what ruins it. The history of allegations against him and the proven actions from the past several decades alone outweighs anything positive. An abusive power-hungry sexual predator doesn't deserve any love or respect, and I can't with good judgement rate him any higher than a goose egg. We need accountability for people like McMahon. |
| 20 | 04.02.2024 | sarahlicity | 0.0 | There's an argument that Vince McMahon is one of the greatest wrestling promoters of all time, but all that is in spite of himself. Really, he's the greatest man to play the game of capitalism in the industry. The conquering of the territories made the WWF into the global powerhouse it is today. But it pretty much killed every other style of wrestling in the USA other than the slow, plodding New York style. He struck gold with the Attitude Era, but the list of major complete booking failures is much larger: the Invasion, the Summer of Punk, Twice in a Lifetime, "The Big Dog" Roman Reigns. If Vince McMahon did not have competition, he was lazy and arrogant to the highest degree. If he did have competition, he tried his best to smother it. As CM Punk once said, he is a millionaire who should be a billionaire, and it's entirely because he was not as good as his own arrogance led him to believe. And behind the curtain, he was a bully and a tyrant. He turned a blind eye to problems until it was too late: the ring boy scandal, steroids, Benoit. And he and the WWE was a danger to women: Rita Chatterton, Ashley Massaro, Janel Grant. He resigned in disgrace and that's what his legacy will always be. Good riddance. |
| 21 | 03.02.2024 | migrations | 2.0 | I'll give him a 2. He was a great booker at certain points in time and an a charismatic onscreen talent, but his personal life will probably be shown to outweigh all his success. The crazy thing - many people over the years have tried to take down Vince like Ted Turner and Phil Mushnick, But in this case: Vince took himself down He allegedly involved himself in hiring a young women at a hard time in her life - grooming her sexually over time and then finally having sex with her. From here the story is so debased and grotesque and goes on and on. This women was legit having panic attacks all day because of her life and she told Vince and he controlled her doctor and gave her a celebrity doctor who scolded her and didn't help her panic attacks at all - allegedly So I'll give him a 2 for everything he did in the business. And you can google him. Maybe there is no business in America without a Vince. His entire legacy and creative output has been diminished and please remember that we wanted him gone for years and now he IS gone and his successor has made the product far more modern and entertaining. Mcmahon is an historic figure when it comes to wrestling. But his personal behavior has tarnished, no destroyed his successes. |
| 22 | 03.02.2024 | TripleCrown | 0.0 | The impact Vince McMahon had on the wrestling business can be looked at one of two ways, whilst he was behind the movement of making wrestling mainstream, he also killed off 90% of the business with his desire to have the then WWF become a larger than life spectacle. There is no denying that his on screen character, Mr. McMahon, was incredible at times and really helped elevate wrestlers who feued with him. It can be argued that there would be no Stone Cold without Mr. McMahon, whilst Austin would have been successful, it was the Mr. McMahon character that really took it to that next level. Vince & co had done an incredible job of making wrestling what it is today, albeit at the expense of literally everything and everybody else. However, the recent allegations have absolutely ruined everything. He has not only ruined his life, but more importantly, the life of so many other people who have yet to come forward. I would even go as far as to say he has brought shame to his fathers name, as if destroying the local territories in the 80s had not done that already. Truly a vile person who has undoubtedly taken advantage of people for the past 40+ years. There is no doubt he was supposed to go down as quite possibly the most influential figure in wrestling history, however his actions outside the ring have really, really put him out of the question and he is undeserving to be remembered for the right reasons. |
| 23 | 02.02.2024 | Vanstyler | 0.0 | A great villain inside the ring and a great villain outside the ring. He's had some pretty memorable moments and I've always liked how he handled his character for so many years, including his feud with DX that was a good part of my childhood. Having said that, the guy is a monster as a human being and has done enormous damage to both the sport and the great athletes who were only looking to give their best. The simple fact that every time there is a controversy surrounding him and no one even questions his veracity says everything there is to know about Vince. He's a horrible guy and while he understands very well how sports entertainment works, he deserves to be forgotten and buried for future generations. Obviously it's not worth writing anything related to his accusations, that's a separate issue, I'm just here to say what needs to be said |
| 24 | 02.02.2024 | Thezestyone | | After a fifty year career of ruining the lives of everyone around him Vince McMahon is finally reaping what he's been sowing for the majority of his adult life. He leaves behind a permanently tarnished legacy and a black cloud over the industry as a whole. He can spend the rest of his life rotting away in his billion dollar penthouse for all I care. |

| 30 | 28.01.2024 | kwadiava | 0.0 | Idk if necessarily I am being dishonest but you can be sure as hell VKM is indeed difficult to rate but he deserves a big fat 0 to fkn hell and I don't give a single shit about it. I refrain from making such harsh comments and giving the max/min ratings but you gotta do when you gotta do. His influence is undeniable therefore you see the bunch of 10s on him as well as WWE, they are earned. He is an all time promoter, talker and performer all in a single package. But it's been years since we left that. He created many stars but do we exactly know how many he got killed? Many sunken potentials. He has a specific liking that seemingly is very hard to met for many. That, mainly, made the whole product stale and wanted to me move away from the WWE for good. Did it work? Yeah, seemingly so. Some of them indeed worked but I never liked how big of a monopoly WWE had become and how they created their 'universe' and become withdrawn and reserved, having a bunch of banned 'words' barely recognizing the whole damn history of wrestling that existed outside of WWE. He always had a dark side but recent allegations just can not be ignored. He's been promoter for so long and he used his power to lure people into his claws. It's all good and fine when you are a family PG product on TV but the backstage stuff? They are wild and disgusting. It involves many of the crew, head of the talent relations and potentially your one of biggest stars (just to have him signed). No, there's no getting away with that. Ends no longer justify means here. |
| 31 | 27.01.2024 | Tragiic | 0.0 | The character? Sure, amazing, he had some great moments. Everything he did with Steve Austin might become of my favourite content from professional wrestling and perfectly sums up the Attitude Era. In addition, the fact he managed to make WWE a global monopoly and one of the most recognised companies is commendable, as few others are capable of doing that. However, I struggle to look past what he has done recently, namely the many issues he has had with NDAs and hush money, and the new lawsuit which came up, which anyone who is reading this is probably aware of. Therefore, solely for the person he has increasingly become evident to be (even if this was a long-time coming based on the ringboy scandal and the many, in comparison, minor complaints and stories about him by ex-employees), he has to be a 0/10 for me. |
| 32 | 27.01.2024 | Nard190 | 0.0 | Mr McMahon the character deserve 10/10. Vincent Kennedy McMahon Jr deserves -10/10. His achievements in the wrestling world are unquestionable. His life and behaviour outside of the ring is absolutely inexcusable. The character has had some unforgettable moments. From the entire Stone Cold feud, to being ECW champion, to wrestling God to getting headbutted by Kevin Owens, his on screen work has always historically been steller. Great on the mic, despicable heel that was so easy to dislike. Iconic Entrance music and infamous strut. His booking decisions have been horrendous. When he was in charge of creative, he would regularly demand last minute rewrites of the entire script, would literally forget about people he intended to push (such as Peyton Royce) and would go out of his way to spite the fans and bury fan favourite talent (Zack Ryder, Rusev). He was writing the show for an audience of one with no care for the fans or their opinions. Then we get into the recent years, with massive payouts for NDAs to cover up abhorrent behaviour to the most recent lawsuit which has detailed allegedly sickening behaviour. I've based my rating on my love of his character and my absolute disgust at the multiple allegations throughout the years that have left me with so much disdain for him that I cannot justify giving him anything more than a 0. |

| 43 | 22.12.2023 | mackers20 | 10.0 | Vincent, Kennedy McMahon is probably one of the most beloved and hated figures and professional wrestling and for good reason. From a business standpoint, he completely burned down the territory, system of old professional wrestling and built his empire, the world wrestling Federation. McMahon much like the figures of old, such as the Rockefellers, or Carnegies successfully monopolized his industry, and he only continued to grow it bigger and better. of course WWF became the undisputed wrestling organization in the world after he successfully bought out WCW in 2000. Since then no one has really been able to feel in the void that was left behind WCW. Many companies have tried such as TNA, who eventually crashed and burn, and now it seems like AEW has tried to position itself in a similar manner. And from a personal perspective, McMahon is even more confusing complex and controversial. I would just put it this way McMahon is a businessmans businessman. For as many stories, there are about guys who absolutely love him theres also many who absolutely despise him. Its just as, to hear a wrestler say that he was like a father figure as it is, by those who say hes basically Satan incarnate. The thing is all these accusations can be true at the same time. McMahon is just a guy with an extremely tough exterior no doubt brought on by his rough upbringing in the slums of North Carolina but at the same time, its also clear that he absolutely adored his father once he met him and worked for him, and I think some aspects of the senior McMahon rubbed onto the junior McMahon. But on top of that to give props to Vince, hes a guy who works his ass off and he just expects the same amount of perfection from his performers. Almost to fault. Im not going to lie for all the stories of guys who talk about how they were forced to wrestle with a broken back I can see Vince being crazy enough to do that himself. it has been said time and time again that Vince wouldnt make people do something that he would not do himself. On top of that if were honest, if you really look into the darker side of old-school wrestling, McMahon really isnt as bad as a lot of older types such as Fritz Von Erich, or Eric Watts. This doesnt justify any of the bad stuff he does but its certainly contextualizing. Hes basically an anachronism. A relic from a bygone era. Obviously, when it comes to the quality of WWE over the years, it has certainly fluctuated, and its fair for people to try to assess whether or not the success was because of or in spite of Vince McMahon. In a way I think its both obviously when you run a multi billion dollar company for over 40 years youre going to make mistakes. But what matters more is how big your successes were versus your failures and no doubt Vince McMahon successes vastly outweigh his failures. He took a look at a guy like Hulk, Hogan, Steve, Austin, The Rock, and John Cena, and saw that he could build his organization around these guys. Even Roman reigns who was overly pushed early on his career when he clearly wasnt ready eventually vindicated McMahon when he became the tribal chief, and the biggest stars in wrestling today. Its honestly either for Internet wrestling fans to sit in their armchair and go on about how they couldve done this different, but simply put none of them know how to actually run a business. Even a guy like Jim Cornett, who Internet fans adore, has never successfully run a wrestling organization himself has he? But in the end, I feel I have to give him a 10 out of 10. No, he obviously wasnt a perfect promoter or a perfect human being. Yes there are some sketchy things hes done. Yes and someways he shoots himself in the foot and hurts his company. However, in the end, when people think of pro wrestling, they think of WWE. McMahon was a complete visionary realizing that wrestling could become a national phenomenon and not just relegated to small gymnasium in high schools in the territories. On top of the Mr. McMahon character is probably the greatest heel and all of professional wrestling, and was just as big of a reason why the attitude era was so great. McMahon himself was the only person who could propel austin to be as big as Hulk Hogan was in the 1980s. Simply Vince McMahon is the giant that built modern day wrestling. He was the one that turned it from dozens of small thief across the country to an international sensation. And even through thick and thin, its still the WWE that is still standing today. It may not have been a smooth road, but theres no doubt McMahon is the single most important person in the wrestling industry |

With absolute certainty Vince McMahon brought many good but also bad things to the industry. As a character, one of the best and most despicable villains of all time, simply sensational as a heel, one of the greatest ever. As an entrepreneur, he can be considered a visionary, competitive, cruel and questionable figure. As a booker, he produced storylines for both the best and the worst. He has many dark moments in his trajectory, but also an undeniable importance. His recent reported actions are regrettable, he doesn't have any space in current wrestling anymore. He's a hit and miss guy who should be considered obsolete and outdated in the modern wrestling scenario. |

| 52 | 22.11.2023 | JediSaiyanMaster1203 | 10.0 | Love him or hate him, Vince McMahon is important to professional wrestling, he's the most successful promoter for a reason. Sure, most of his decisions that got him the success was because they were no brainers and from people convincing him who to hire, but still. Let's not act like Vince McMahon didn't come up with great ideas (i.e. WrestleMania), this man has a form of responsibility as to why majority of us even are fans of this great "sport." I get why people hate him, and I do as well, but I can't hate him as a promoter and on screen persona, the Steve Austin feud stands tall as, probably, the only good wrestler vs authority figure feud in history. While Vince has came up with bad decisions over the years, and became out of touch as he got older, there's no denying that he's made countless stars or made certain wrestlers bigger than before like Hulk Hogan, John Cena, The Rock, Steve Austin, Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, you name it. His influence is gigantic in the business, you can feel it in almost every wrestling promotion to this day, no matter if it's TNA or AEW, everyone borrows his best ideas and concepts that were used in WWE. The Vince McMahon character in the Attitude Era might just be the best heel persona of all time, a heel everyone can get behind hating and most likely projected their distain towards their real life bosses into him and imagining themselves as Steve Austin, a feud that saw tons of success that can never be captured no matter how hard wrestling tries. Overall, Vinnie Mac is a legend in the professional wrestling industry and his legacy can't be overlooked with how much it's influenced the landscape at large. |

I will do my damnedest to discredit pure booking decisions; because for a long time other voices *have* been involved: from Patterson to Russo to both Levesque's. I will do my damnedest to discredit the whole "killed the territories" ordeal (which would give him over a negative 9000 rating). I will simply base this on his time as a commentator, as a wrestler and as an on screen character. His commentary is uniquely grating, his physique alone makes his matches laughable (he looks like he's wearing a body suit ala The Story of Riki-Oh) and usually I don't want to be bothered by his promos (heel or face). The mid 90's is a great example of how wretchedly AWFUL his commentary could be. There have been some redeeming elements; his chemistry with Jesse Ventura was enjoyable and he did well on commentary when his father owned the company. EDIT: In an attempt to accurately program his move set into Smackdown! : Here Comes The Pain, I have forced myself to deep dive his wrestling matches. While Ric Flair could bring out his best, he is profoundly limited and uses blood and guts to get by. NOTABLY LOUSY WRESTLER. 2 points. |
| 72 | 18.08.2023 | MattHall | 7.0 | ok Ok OKAY. How do I rate Mr. Vincent Kennedy McMahon? Well...He was one of the best bookers in wrestling history, but honestly, he also made poor booking decisions along the way. He should've booked Curt Hennig to win the 1991 royal rumble. Should've gave Tito Santana the WWF championship, Scott Hall, Roddy Piper, Dustin Rhodes should've been the WWF world champions. Shady Sex & Drug scandals throughout the 80s and 90s. However, he did give us some really good stuff too. Signed and made talents like Triple H, The Undertaker, Stone Cold, John Cena, Kane, Big Show, Kofi Kingston, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Chris Jericho, Sheamus, Randy Orton, Batista, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, and the list just goes on and on. I do like his heel character in the attitude and ruthless aggression eras. Though his WWF commentary during the 70s and 80s was quite irritating to hear. |
| 73 | 05.08.2023 | KKeanel | 6.0 | Ehhh... VKM is extremely difficult to rate. In fact, since the 1970s, when he started his adventure with wrestling in a more screen role, he had the potential to be a good organizer and a potentially interesting TV character. After his father's death, he took on a lot of responsibility and basically took a risk right away - a project called "Wrestlemania" could be a huge boost, but also a nail in the coffin. And he won. Play-by-play on commentary? As he would say, "good shit, pal" .He won again when, losing the Monday Wars, he made significant changes that ultimately drew wrestlers and fans to his side. His involvement in his Mr. McMahon character was very entertaining. So much so that I consider him as a one of the best heels of all time. Unfortunately, after the tragedy of the Benoit family, he decided to make necessary changes in the program and policy of running the company - opinion about him began to drop drastically (and rightly so). The number of absurd decisions and wasted talent exceeded the limit of calculated mistakes, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when he stepped down from head of creative. His unsure status right now definitely not encourage talents to be fascinated by HHH's work, which can be dramatically changed in one moment. I personally will always have some kind of sympathy to Vince, but after all scandalic accusations and because of his general touch to business in last dozen of years, he deserves on words "thank you" - in positive way, but in VERY negative way either. |

| 76 | 25.07.2023 | Gold Fists | 5.0 | I'll give Vince a 5.5 rounded down. You can't ignore the amount of mainstream stars that he's responsible for (Hogan, Austin, Rock, etc.), and he handcrafted WWE into the phenomenon that it is today. However, he had been a questionable and out of touch booker for YEARS and it took far too long for him to go away. But that's the thing; he backs out of ruling his empire as soon as controversy surrounding him sparks. With his evil boss character (which is likely accurate backstage too), he could get heat from the fans without even trying. Unfortunately for Vince, that was presumably go-away heat. His segment with Rikishi essentially sums up what he subjected his employees to for years upon years; kissing his ass. |
| 77 | 19.07.2023 | fgpfriends | 2.0 | I give the 2 points for being a historical booker, making a lot of amazing moments, and WWE is such a great history, but first of all, what he was doing with womans was unacceptable in era to before womans evolution, hes been also accused into things a lot, his booking decisions were poor very often recent years and he still comes back and making a mess, he is a legend, he did a lot of good things, but the good things are blinded with the bad ones, especially previous years before HHH took the control. And plus he was a bad wrestler |
| 78 | 14.07.2023 | Mutoism | 0.0 | Okay, where I shall begin? He has been acused of being a rapist, using WWE money to cover his crimes, next he also cover a murderer and inducted him into his Hall of Fame, then he is the main reason why women wrestling is not as advanced as it should be, there is so much to say and too much to write about this despicable man |

| 80 | 08.07.2023 | Loghan Moresco | 3.0 | There it is the worst people in wrestling history if vince russo didnt exist but give the devil its due he could cut a promo and was a decent character, im glad for what he did in the attitude era but after 2010 he got completely out of the touch with the program and made several shows unwatchable. |
| 81 | 08.07.2023 | Undertaker4ever | 3.0 | 3 Punkte bekommt er von mir noch dafür was er aus der WWE gemacht und aufgebaut hat denn ohne Vince würde die WWE und das Wrestling niemals so bekannt sein! Als Heel Mr.McMahon war er auch einer der besten aber die Reallife Person Vince McMahon verabscheue ich heuzutage nur noch deswegen mehr als 3 Punkte sind nicht drinnen! |
| 82 | 24.06.2023 | Ffddggfddd | 10.0 | |
| 83 | 04.06.2023 | Giantfan1980 | 6.0 | I'm voting slightly above middle of the road because how do you rate a guy who is the owner of the company, part time commentator, part time evil corporate boss, part time wrestler? Also the historic fact he changed the wrestling world here in the States. Biggest fault: He stuck around way too damn long trying to do the evil boss shtick. They should have ended that story back in 2002 after the buyout and Vince should have gone back to doing paperwork. |
| 84 | 02.06.2023 | Number One Omosapien | 9.0 | Difficult to rate. As a character 10/10, his segments in the Attitude Era were very good. As a human 0/10, he was ruining his own brand before HHH saved WWE. I'll give him a 9, can't deny the influence he has on the business |
| 85 | 24.05.2023 | Scott Bailey | | He's impossible to grade. Attitude Era McMahon is an obvious 10/10. One of the most best heels in WWE history and a perfect foil for Stone Cold Steve Austin, which just made for great tv and helped make the WWE the definitive company at that time. Very entertaining commentator in his early years too. The problems started for me when he was plastered all over the product with no real top guy to stop him post Attitude Era. He really started to become over the top and cartoonish. He gradually lost his way when it came to pushing new talent and before he retired the WWE became unwatchable. Worst still are the reasons why he was ousted (not getting into that on here). His contributions can't be denied, but like Hogan his legacy is tainted. |
| 86 | 23.05.2023 | Mister Cute Face | 2.0 | Vince was undeniably brilliant and a luminary. The problem is his booking suffered and suffered and suffered for so long. It's a depressing fall from grace. His practices as the owner have been downright awful. Glad he was able to complete the asshole circle by becoming the chairman of WWE and UFC. Just miserable. |

| 88 | 26.04.2023 | nWo-Joshi-Guy | | For the person probably singularly most synonymous with professional wrestling; he does not seem to understand the business that well at all! Most responsible than any other man for the decline in popularity of American wrestling over the past 30 years. He treats fans like complete idiots and ruins practically any good idea the company has creatively. |
| 89 | 19.04.2023 | arkhamoutlaw10 | 0.0 | One of the most despicable people in the history of professional wrestling, responsible for the death of hundreds of promotions and an entire system of professional wrestling, perpetuated workplace abuses amongst staff and wrestlers, accused of multiple instances of sexual assaults, funded so many Republicans, the list goes on and on. As a booker, responsible for some of the greatest and most offensive moments in wrestling history, with the later stages of his career featuring way more of the latter than the former. It will be a good thing when he's no longer in the business. |
| 90 | 17.04.2023 | CorpusSkiptotelicum | 2.0 | In incredibly important figure and one of the best heels of all time. But art often imitates life and as it turns out he is a horrible, irredeemable human being that has a collection of foul acts across all his decades in the business. The list is too long to write here, but when he finally dies, I expect a Jimmy Savile type situation of everything finally coming to light at once. |
| 91 | 07.04.2023 | jonsnoe | 10.0 | |
| 92 | 04.04.2023 | themuh | 0.0 | He needs to go away. He is not in touch with what the business should be today. The fact that he came back to help make a sale only to find a buyer that would still have him be involved with the company tells you that he is the most egotistical person in the business. HHH and Nick Khan were doing just fine without him, and now there's evidence he's involved in creative again, and the show tanked. |
| 93 | 19.03.2023 | Personano | 0.0 | Vince McMahon is evil, no doubt about it. There's no denying his impact on the wrestling business, what with him lending a hand on it becoming hugely mainstream and all, but in doing so he's left a path of destruction behind him. Even still to this day with the recent hush money scandals emerging. And that's on top of numerous other horrible things he's done in and out of WWE. It's my hope he stays far, far away from anything wrestling related. |
| 94 | 12.03.2023 | John Brando | | Bei Vincent McMahon ist eine Bewertung abzugeben schwierig. Einer der mächtigsten Männer im Wrestling und ein damals brillanter Geschäftsmann, der mit seinen Ideen das Wrestling grundlegend reformierte. Einer der einflussreichsten und begabtesten Erzähler, ohne den wir das heutige Wrestling wohl nicht haben würden. Ich bin aber auch hier wie der Großteil zwiegespalten: Vincent McMahon hat in den letzten Jahren den Bezug ein bisschen verloren und wahrscheinlich ist es gut, dass mit Triple H die moderne Generation das Zepter übernimmt. Letztendlich gehört Vince McMahon wegen seinem Lebenswerk schon in den Wrestling-Olymp und man muss ihm dankbar sein für alles, was er als Mann für diese Industrie getan hat. |
| 95 | 22.02.2023 | SoundwaveAU | 9.0 | |
| 96 | 09.02.2023 | Rigno | 8.0 | If you rate this guy anything below 7, you are actually delusional. I don't care. Without him, the wrestling industry as we know it probably doesn't exist. You probably wouldn't like wrestling. I'm not including his personal life in this, yes he's a douchebag, but he was a great commentator, and for a solid 30 years was a good booker, and had probably the most iconic storyline of all time. |
| 97 | 08.02.2023 | xGAICHx | 7.0 | |
| 98 | 29.01.2023 | CommisarRobe | 6.0 | How on earth do you rate Vince? A man who is possibly a terrible man in real life but I don't want to comment on his personal life here. Vince oversaw revolutionary change in the Wrestling Business, The Attitude Era, The Ruthless Aggression Era. He also oversaw the nightmare that was the parts of the PG era and by the end his booking was often befuddled, confused and aggravating. The Mr McMahon character is one of the best heels in Wrestling. Overall Vince is probably the reason a lot of us our Wrestling fans but a lot of the times he has been lucky instead of smart. |
| 99 | 18.01.2023 | Leth99 | 0.0 | The mainly bad things happened in the wrestling world because of this guy. And I CAN'T about all of those things. Just find them. Everyone knows how bad he was as a promoter, booker, human being and the horrible things he did to people's lifes. Not talking about to what he did to the girls, but the WRESTLERS. Think about the wrestlers that lost years of their lives in a company that has no ability to do things right. For how bad Vince Russo was, at least he was trying to be somewhat innovative booking things and not being boring. I see no redeeming qualities about Vince in the wrestling world. And the only reason he won is because guys like Bischoff were controlling WCW |
| 100 | 15.01.2023 | PhenomenalGun | 4.0 | I despise Vince McMahon. I respect what he did to bring pro wrestling to a global stage and I actually don't really care about territory wrestling all too much, it's much better this way. I probably wouldn't have even known about pro wrestling if not for him bringing it to such a prominent level. That being said, like I said, I DESPISE Vince McMahon. He's responsible for some of the best years of WWE but some of its worst as well. He didn't know when to hang up the boots and when Triple H finally fixed WWE's broken main roster with the snap of a finger, he hated seeing someone else succeed with his creation where he failed, his ego took over and now he's back, reportedly just for the sale. I hate people who can't just live and let live, retirement was his best option. Again, massive respect for what he did in the past but since the PG Era he's been awful. |
