(FOUR) SEXY BITCH
I’m not saying Vince is a sexy bitch. He’s clearly not my cup of tea, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t in fact own a Sexy Bitch. The “Sexy Bitch” is what Vince named his 47 foot sports yacht. During Linda’s recent political endeavors this was brought up in a negative manner. So what? It’s a big boat named Sexy Bitch. I bet the boat is in fact a sexy bitch so get over it.
(THREE) HOLLYWOOD VINCE
Vince McMahon was the first person to hold a professional wrestling time to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In recent years Vince has been producing more and more movies. It started with The Rock movies and then with See No Evil, The Condemned, and then John Cena stuff. These movies are relatively cheap to make and go straight to DVD for the most part. It’s still unsure if these are making money, but it’s safe to assume that it is. It’s a pretty awesome route to go regardless and definitely worth a shot.
(TWO) SPORTS OWNER
He owns WWE, but there have been multiple other sport ventures in his past. His family lineage is all wrestling and boxing, but he took it one step further. He owned the XFL, a failed professional football league and before that he gave us a bodybuilding league. And with looking around I found that even before that he was into other sports. In the early 80’s he was involved with a minor league hockey team called the “Cape Cod Buccaneers”. Drama went down and Vince ended up ditching the team before the first season ended. That’s still weird to think about. Vince McMahon essentially tried to do what Mark Cuban has done. Did Vince pave the way?
(ONE) ABANDONED YOUTH
Believe it or not, Vince wasn’t born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He didn’t even meet his promoter father Vince Sr. until he was the age of 12. Before then, as I think I recall correctly, he lived in the south with his mother in pretty meager conditions. In fact, his name wasn’t even McMahon! He was Vince Lupton, his stepdad’s last name, for most of his youth. He met his birth father and was instantly enthralled by the business. Reluctantly his father let him in and soon history would be made. In 1969, Vince made his ring announcing debut.
