I can't revert again unless I want to violate 3RR, check wwe.com. Vince McMahon uses BOTH. Hell, the very FIRST line in his profile is "Meet Vince McMahon, Chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment". So stop chaning references from "Vince McMahon" to "Mr. McMahon". TJ Spyke 03:50, 30 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Again, he uses both. He may be called Mr. McMahon more, but that doesn't change the fact that he uses both, so there is no reason to keep changing that in the PPV pages. TJ Spyke 04:11, 30 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
I admitted that he uses both. Why not just use his full (ring) name? Personally, I think Vince McMahon is better than Mr. McMahon, although neither are technically wrong. TJ Spyke 04:29, 30 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
