Vince K McMahon was Born in Pinehurst, The son of Vince J McMahon and Victoria Lupton. 

Vince Snr McMahon's company, was the WWWF (World Wide Wrestling Federation), and its parent company the CWC (Capitol Wrestling Corporation0, both had dominated pro wrestling in the North USA during the mid-20th century.

Vince Jr. and Sr. quickly grew close over missing years, and Vince Jr. was fascinated by the pro wrestling business. He became involved in it himself after a ring announcer left abruptly over money and his father needed a quick replacement.

Vince J McMahon was willing to give his son a shot, and in Bangor, Maine In 1971 he promoted his first wrestling card there. In 1972,  McMahon provided play-by-play TV commentary for the WWWF.

Throughout the 1970s, McMahon became a prominent force in his father's company, tripling the WWWF's TV syndication and pushing for the renaming of the company to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). (some one didnt tell him there was another WWF around)

The young McMahon was also behind the famous Muhammad Ali vs Antonio Inoki match of 1976, the year his daughter, Stephanie was born.

in 1979 the WWWF became the WWF and Vincent K. purchased the Cape Cod Coliseum. In 1980 he incorporated Titan Sports, Inc., which would purchase the CWC from his father in 1982.

Against his father's express wishes, McMahon began a national expansion process that would fundamentally change the business. By 1983, Vince had full control and ownership of the WWF and its future direction, having bought out all of his father's former partners, including the legendary Gorilla Monsoon, who as part of the deal, got lifetime employment with the WWF until his death.

Vince' Snr died in 1984, leaving his son behind to carry on his pro wrestling legacy. The first thing he did as full owner of the WWF was to break away from the NWA, as his vision of a new, national wrestling promotion was incompatible with their old-school promoting philosophy.

In Rocky III, Hulk Hogan began to exploit his new-found celebrity, and returned to Vince McMahon's all-new WWF. Hogan won the WWF title just weeks after his return, on January 23, 1984, and helped engineer Hogan's insurgence into the mainstream entertainment media, in which Hogan was portrayed as the ultimate all-American good guy.

McMahon did not stop there, however, inviting rock and pop stars such as Alice Cooper and Cyndi Lauper to participate in WWF storylines in what would come to be called the "Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection." The popularity of the WWF increased exponentially as MTV often featured wrestling in its programming to follow the exploits of music stars and other celebrities in the wrestling world. McMahon called the incorporation of pro wrestling among other types of entertainment. Hogan even co-hosted Saturday Night Live and had his own CBS cartoon series. With Hulk Hogan as the performer, and McMahon as the promoter, the two worked to take the pro wrestling business to places no one ever deemed imaginable.

Around the same time, McMahon publicly admitted the secret behind Kayfabe in pro wrestling: that its outcomes were predetermined, moves planned and rehearsed, and that wrestlers played character roles much like Hollywood actors do. While general knowledge to most wrestling fans, this admission broke the final taboo of the old ways of wrestling, and earned McMahon much ire among old-school fans, wrestlers, and promoters, who were already incensed at McMahon for his invasion into long-held NWA territories. Then-NWA Champion Harley Race was very vocal of his frustrations toward McMahon and the WWF; when promoting a show in his hometown of Kansas City, Race supposedly attempted to burn down a WWF ring. Interestingly, Race jumped ship to the WWF just two years later, and became "King" Harley Race.

The culmination of the Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection was the first-ever WrestleMania event at Madison Square Garden in New York City. While wrestling mega-events were not a new idea, WrestleMania, held on March 31, 1985, was innovative in its inclusion of mainstream stars, including Mr. T, Muhammad Ali, Billy Martin, Liberace and the Radio City Rockettes. WWF promoted the event across the country on closed-circuit TV.

WrestleMania was a resounding financial success. The show became an annual event, held every March or April, with it already completing 21 incarnations. WrestleMania III on March 29, 1987 was the most popular, drawing a reported 93,173 fans to the Pontiac Silverdome and claiming to set a record for indoor attendance. In Pontiac, Michigan and many more viewers on PPV for the much-anticipated showdown between WWF Champion Hulk Hogan and challenger André the Giant. This is the famous match which saw Hogan body slam the 7'4", 520-pound Giant, and hand André a rare pinfall defeat.

Also in 1987, WWF launched a second annual PPV extravaganza, known as the Survivor Series, held roughly every Thanksgiving. In August 1988, the SummerSlam series was launched, and then in January 1989 the Royal Rumble spectacular was added to the calendar, although it had its TV debut the year prior. Things stayed like this until 1993, when a fifth PPV, the now defunct King of the Ring launched. By 1995, the WWF was promoting 12 pay-per-view cards; one a month. The big five events stayed in their traditional places, while the other months played host to the In Your House shows, which were generally shorter and cheaper to view than the main five shows. In September 1997, the In Your House concept was amended to fill three hours as per the other five main cards, and it has roughly remained this way ever since with, WWE now promoting one three-hour PPV cards each calendar month.

From 1988 to around 1992, the WWF firmly ruled when it came to "sports entertainment." McMahon ventured outside of wrestling and founded a bodybuilding company called the World Bodybuilding Federation (WBF). At roughly the same time, some die-hard NWA territories run by Jim Crockett, Jr., badly bruised by McMahon's tactics of attempting to undermine Crockett's shows by threatening PPV carriers of witholding his WrestleMania if they showed Crockett's shows, placing his shows directly opposite of Crockett's, and his garish comic book heroes, sold up to Ted Turner, thus creating WCW.

WCW never really troubled the WWF at this juncture when it came to TV ratings or attendances, but it was generally accepted amongst many that WCW had the edge when it came to "real" pro wrestling.

However, around 1992, things began to change. The WBF went out of business as alleged steroid abuse among both McMahon's wrestlers and bodybuilders came under scrutiny. Hulk Hogan was nearing the end of his big run in the WWF at the time. The equally 'well-sculptured' Sid Justice vanished, and a comeback run for the 'chiseled' Ultimate Warrior was aborted that year after 7 months. Smaller, more technical wrestlers such as Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair were prime beneficiaries of this shift in focus, as were rather unorthodox stars such as the "sumo" wrestler Yokozuna. However, silly storylines and characters still abounded throughout 1993 in particular, with an expensive and failed attempt to turn Lex Luger into the next Hogan not helping matters. By 1994, things were slowly turning in WCW's favor, especially when they signed Hulk Hogan.

McMahon was put on trial in 1994, accused of distributing steroids to his wrestlers. As a legal move, his wife Linda was made CEO of the WWF during the trial. He was acquitted of all charges, but later admitted taking steroids himself in the 80s. The prosecution made Hulk Hogan its star witness, and his testimony in the trial severely damaged the two's friendship. Despite not being convicted, McMahon and the WWF took a major public relations hit. The WWF's popularity sharply declined from that point, mainly in part to even more poor ideas and matches being served up in Vince's enforced absence.

The Monday Night Wars and WWF Attitude

In 1997 , the WWF and its flagship show on the USA NETWORK, Monday Night Raw, were consistently losing the ratings war with WCW and its new show, WCW Nitro, which premiered in 1995, Despite the fans' loud yearning for less over-the-top gimmicks like The Patriot & Doink The Clown, the returning McMahon resisted, and the WWF product was very much as it had been in late 80s and early 90's.

Meanwhile, WCW's nWo storyline, which blurred the division between pro wrestling and reality, was cutting edge, and viewers deserted the WWF in droves. Eventually, taking notice of his main competition as well as upstart ECW.

McMahon started moving the WWF toward more adult-oriented and reality-based storylines. This concept, which the WWF openly marketed as WWF Attitude, began in earnest with the infamous Montreal Screwjob at that year's Survivor Series PPV in November.

At the event, Vince McMahon conspired to remove the WWF Championship from then WWF champion Bret Hart, who was soon leaving for the rival WCW. The event went down, and WWF fans witnessed McMahon – who to many was known more for being an announcer rather than the WWF owner, although despite being lesser known as owner of the WWF, no secret was made of it – "screw" Bret Hart out of the WWF Title "For Real".

After the 1997 Survivor Series, McMahon inserted himself into the WWF show as an evil Owner, McMahon, who conspired and meddled in the affairs of other fan favorite wrestlers. He eventually led various heel stars in the 'Corporation' stable, which complimented the prolific Austin V McMahon.

In the spring of 1998, the WWF solidified itself as the wrestling ratings king and never looked back. After a complex storyline with The Undertaker in 1999 (as a super-monster heel who terrorized his daughter, Stephanie), McMahon turned face again since his debut in the WWF in the 80's, but quickly turned heel again when he revealed he was in cahoots with the Undertaker all along (so he could gain Stephanie's control of the WWF and thwart Austin); however, Linda foiled McMahon's scheme by naming Austin the new CEO of the WWF.

McMahon then made his third face run during a feud with Triple H. On the September 16, 1999 edition of SmackDown!, McMahon defeated Triple H to become the WWF Champion with assistance from several people including his son Shane and Stone Cold Steve Austin. The feud with Triple H intensified that fall, upon Stephanie's engagement to Test; at the wedding, Triple H showed video footage of him eloping with an obviously-drugged Stephanie at a drive-through wedding chapel in Las Vegas. In December of that year, McMahon (as a babyface) established himself as a legitimate physical presence in a thirty minute 'No Holds Barred' match with Triple H at the Armageddon PPV. However, Stephanie turned heel when she betrayed her father at the end of the match, thus starting the McMahon-Helmsley Era storyline.

Mr. McMahon was both a face and a heel on WWF programming for the next several years, turning on The Rock at WrestleMania 2000, having to combat the WCW/ECW Alliance, and siding with Kurt Angle after the Alliance's demise. In 2003, Hulk Hogan, who had returned to WWE in 2002, and McMahon turned their real-life animosity over McMahon's steroid trial into fuel for a wrestling storyline, and the two had a street fight match at WrestleMania XIX. Before Wrestlemania, Vince McMahon attacked Hogan with a steel chair on Smackdown! busting him wide open and then he signed the contarct. He would then go up to a bloody Hogan laying in the middle of the ring and stab him in the forehead with the pen, thus making him sign his name in his own blood. His last match was against Eric Bischoff on Monday Night RAW with Stone Cold Steve Austin as the Guest Referee. The Match ended in a no contest when Brock Lesnar of SmackDown! interfered in the match by giving Austin an F5. During that time it was a heel vs. heel match, since Vince still had a feud with Austin and questioned his skills as a referee.

Now 60 years old, Mr. McMahon no longer wrestles and makes far less frequent appearances on WWE TV. When he does appear, he generally receives face reactions and makes fan-pleasing storyline decisions, such as firing then-SmackDown! General Manager Kurt Angle in 2004, and antagonizing former rival turned RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff, who he fired on December 5, 2005.
