Vince McMahon

My take on Vince McMahon is that he was less a wrestling man than a master showman who understood spectacle better than almost anyone. Co-founding the modern WWE with Linda was one thing, but what fascinates me is his willingness to step into the ring himself and play the villain owner, turning the crowd's hatred into pure profit. That blurring of business and performance is genuinely rare. His legacy is divisive, and I won't pretend otherwise, yet I can't deny he reshaped how an entire industry packages and sells emotion. Love him or loathe him, he is a one-of-a-kind cultural force.
