Vincent Kennedy McMahon is considered the epitome of success when it comes to the business of sports entertainment. Before becoming the chairman of the biggest wrestling promotion in the world, Vince McMahon used to work as a ring announcer for his father’s wrestling promotion World Wrestling Federation (WWF).

However, Vince bought the company from his father in 1982, and since then he just flipped the wrestling business on its head and made a regional house show to a global phenomenon.

The reason the WWE Universe believes that ‘The Game’ will take Vince’s place is that for years now, Triple H has been managing and mentoring the NXT brand and calling the shots on the black and gold brand of WWE.

Keeping the fact that he is the son-in-law of the boss, Triple H has proved his worth in a management position as the COO of the company and has incorporated multiple changes in the company, one of the most evident ones is the growth of the women’s division.
