Vince McMahon/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: {{spoiler|Upon being relieved of duty he gets a 'THANK YOU VINCE!' chant from the crowd as the show closed, especially notable as not five minutes earlier the crowd was cheering at the news of him being replaced.}}

* [[Complete Monster]]: The Mr. McMahon character orders this trope at times.

* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Terry Funk, who is probably the person with the most authority on the subject ever, thinks the most hardcore man in the WWE is Vince. Why? Every other wrestler falls off of cages and gets hit with chairs because, on some level, they need the paycheck. Vince doesn't need to do any of that but still does because he likes to entertain the fans. Also, HBK has stated Vince won't ask any of his wrestlers to do anything he wouldn't do himself (HBK flew down to the ring on a wire for Wrestlemania XII-- the first guy to test out the harness was Vince).

** [[A Father to His Men]]: For the reasons above, wrestlers will almost do anything he asks. He will also listen to their opinions despite the aura of fear he inspires. [[Bret Hart]] during his initial WWE run considered Vince like that, and even after [[Montreal Screwjob|the screwjob]] they still had a heart to heart after [[Owen Hart|Owen]]'s funeral like a father and son who needed to reconcile. {{spoiler|They did.}}

** 'CAUSE YOU DESERVE TO BE SCREWED! ''YOU DESERVE TO BE SCREWED!''

** Recently, on Raw 6/6/11, he ''finally'' put [[Michael Cole]] in his place.

Vince: MICHAELCOLE, ''SHUT UP!'' }}

** Needless to say, all of us enjoyed seeing Vince give [[Donald Trump]] a taste of his own medicine.

* [[Dude, Not Funny]]: Vince sometimes has an... interesting concept of what "funny" is.

* [[Iron Woobie]]: This may seem like an odd one given his fame and fortune, but he was beaten almost constantly by his step-father and laments openly about not being the one to have killed him because he would have enjoyed that. Paul Heyman once said that Sigmund Freud would need 900 pages to explain exactly how [[Vince McMahon]] works. [[Rob Van Dam|RVD]] and others have all said that they don't blame Vince because inside he's a broken man. However the reason he's an Iron Woobie is that he never presents himself in a way that makes you want to comfort him. Could also be [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]] depending on how much power you think he has.
