Vince McMahon, who debuts on the Forbes 400 with a net worth of $1.1 billion, has more in common with his superwealthy brethren than you might think. On the surface, the 55-year-old chief executive of the World Wrestling Federation (nasdaq: WWFE) couldn't be more different from the button-down Wall Street financiers and thirty-something billionaire technogeeks who dominate the list. After all, McMahon delivers entertainment that's often violent and sexist. His characters look and sound li...

Not a proper Gimmick A Big Blog in the bloc its how he has to be described for his appearance. Bobby Lashley is one big time body builder. Erupted in the scene late last year and improved his wrestling skill ever since that. He might easily be the future WWE, but his public appeal hasn’t improved even-though his performances are.

Boring Boogey Man Another desperate attempt by WWE ended in a flop as they try to create a scary character. Even though initial concept of introducing a character as horrible as boogey man is it never created any scary moments among the fans or the stars.
