5 Backstage clashes between Vince McMahon and WWE Superstars

Vince McMahon is widely regarded by many as the most important entity in the world of professional wrestling. The WWE Chairman has spent decades turning WWE into one of the biggest conglomerates in the world today. What separated Vince from others that failed is the fact that he never shied away from sacrificing himself in order to present must-see TV to the WWE Universe.

Vince began inserting himself into major storylines in the late 90s, with his feud against Stone Cold Steve Austin becoming a major factor in WWE defeating WCW in the Monday Night Wars. Vince was beaten up, embarrassed, and harassed on live TV, mostly inside the squared circle.

But there have been plenty of moments when Vince clashed with some of WWE's biggest Superstars in a backstage capacity.

In the following slideshow, we will take a look at f backstage clashes between Vince McMahon and WWE Superstars.
