About this listen

"Vince McMahon: The Unauthorized Biography of the WWE Chairman" is a first of its kind comprehensive exploration of the life, controversies, and legacy of Vince McMahon from national bestselling author Michael Essany. From McMahon's impoverished upbringing with an abusive stepfather to his Napoleon-like conquests as a brash young wrestling promoter, WWE fans can relive the remarkable and unlikely accomplishments, stunning failures, and extraordinary events that define the life and career of Vincent Kennedy McMahon. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1: A No Holds Barred Beginning Chapter 2: On The Ropes Chapter 3: Napoleon Chapter 4: The ‘Mania’ Begins Chapter 5: The King of Controversy Chapter 6: The Bill and Hillary of Professional Wrestling Chapter 7: Time to Play “The Game” Chapter 8: The McMahon Legacy EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 1: Violent. Dramatic. Controversial. Scandalous. These descriptions could very easily apply to the world of professional wrestling. But perhaps more fittingly, they pertain to the childhood of Vincent Kennedy McMahon. "I grew up in an 8-foot wide trailer,” McMahon admits. “That's where I come from. And it’s a tremendous advantage, quite frankly. Because I am Americana. I'm middle class - actually, lower middle class." As a youth, the future billionaire and head of sports entertainment's most powerful brand was tormented by physical cruelty, confined to a trailer park, and, by McMahon's own admission, subjected to some form of sexual abuse. Born August 24, 1945, in Pinehurst, North Carolina, Vincent K. McMahon represents the third generation of a legendary professional wrestling family - a dynasty that includes his grandfather Jess McMahon - also a boxing and wrestling promoter - and his father, Vince McMahon, Sr., the proverbial founding father of contemporary sports entertainment. Vince Jr., however, did not personally know his biological father for most of his early years. For the majority of his adolescence, Vincent Kennedy McMahon - as he is internationally recognized today - was known as Vince Lupton. Vince was given the surname of Lou Lupton, one of his five revolving stepfathers. But as McMahon would reveal years later, it was Lupton's violent outbursts that seemingly did more than anyone or anything else to spoil the innocence of his childhood. Read more in this eBook!
