Memorable Vince McMahon Moments

by K. Thor Jensen

If we had our way, August 24th would be a national holiday. Why? Because it's the birthday of Vince McMahon, the greatest genius the world of sports entertainment has even known. Born to WWWF promoter Vincent J. McMahon in Pinehurst, North Carolina, young Vince grew up primarily raised by his mother and a string of abusive stepfathers. He did not meet his real dad until the age of twelve, at which point he set out to follow in his father's footsteps and control the wrestling universe. In tribute to the birth of a great man, some sixty-three years ago, we take a trip down Memory Lane with Mr. McMahon, from his early days as a gawky, nervous announcer to his present incarnation as the millionaire megalomaniac with balls the size of grapefruits. These are the Memorable McMahon Moments, and we expect you to have them memorized by the 24th.
