Vince McMahon has never been able to walk out of controversies in his real life. In addition to that, the chairman has also not been able to step aside from controversial moments and segments when he is in WWE. McMahon has invested tons of money and hard work in the business to expand it to the absolute best and bring it as the greatest entertainment company that the world has ever seen.
But sometimes, the storylines and feuds don’t work on our with the major factor of the company focusing on one superstar and giving nothing but losses to the rest. This happened back in 2008 when the company was hugely invested in the performances and segments of franchise player and former WWE Champion John Cena which eventually led to the ratings coming down.
But the USA Network wanted the ratings to boost up which brought McMahon with an idea to give away money to the people as a part of lottery. The chairman called the segment as Vince McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania and started with a game. But eventually, the game turned around on McMahon losing $50000 dollars which was followed by the company stopping the segment in a couple of weeks.
