Being a son of a wrestling promotion owner, Vince McMahon started to take pleasure in wrestling since his early days when he used to visit his dad’s company. Later he bought the whole thing from his father and started everything under himself and named it as the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). McMahon was heavily featured in high-octane storylines during his early days especially during company’s Attitude Era with the most prominent act amongst them was his angles with Texas Rattlesnake Steve Austin.

Even the day when we were at SmackDown and we got notified that Vince had retired, obviously there’s that second of people looking around like, ‘Did you see that? Can you believe this has happened?’ But then after that, everyone’s so focused on the job that’s at hand it kind of feels strangely normal but exciting at the same time,”.
