13. Triple H Fires Vince McMahon
Vince McMahon was bellowing the words “You’re Fired!” as an emphatic catchphrase back when Donald Trump was merely a controversial businessman. Regardless of the many ways that Vince has received his comeuppance over the years, it seemed like this was one trick the boss had up his sleeves that none of his superstars were ever going to be able to flip around on him. History works in funny ways, though, and that’s why Triple H eventually was able to come to power and represent the WWE Board of Directors on Monday Night Raw one evening, July 18th, 2011. McMahon was celebrating his recent successes as he is wont to do, when his son-in-law entered the ring and delivered a somewhat confusing speech ultimately concluding with the fact that he and the Board of Directors have voted and decided Vince McMahon was to be removed from power.
McMahon’s acting skills have never been on prouder display than in this segment, as his eyes welled with tears and his face presented an emotional journey all it’s own while Triple H gave his rambling address. Triple H was faking tears of his own by the end, but it’s Vince who deserves the spotlight here, as his reserved implosion was one of the most realistic looking breakdowns on the list.
