Vince K McMahon, however, did not share this ideology for wrestling, and things soon drastically changed, not just for the WWF, but for professional wrestling as a whole. In the s, Vince McMahon began to sign superstars from different territories one such example is Hulk Hogan, who was signed in from American Wrestling Association.

Not only that, but the Madison Square Garden event had successfully sold out as well.
Vince McMahon would continue being an on-screen commentator through the Golden Era and towards the end of the New Generation Era, where the real-life Montreal Screwjob incident led to him creating the iconic "Mr McMahon" character that we know of today.
