** Mick has mentioned when he was setting up to schedule his debut with WWE with Vince, he noted he had made some commitments in Japan that he planned to honor before debuting with WWE. Vince asked if a contract had been signed and Mick noted there wasn’t but he had given the promoter his word and he planned to honor it. Expecting Vince to scoff at the idea of honoring a verbal commitment with no contract when it would effectively prevent him from making more money during that time with WWE, Vince simply stated “That’s the kind of man I want working for me” and blessed off on Mick keeping those commitments in Japan. Later, Mick realized with Vince’s experience of wrestlers like Wrestling/LexLuger and others who’d screwed Vince over by leaving the company via underhanded tactics that Mick’s integrity and commitment to his word was something he deeply appreciated.
** Every story Mick Foley has of putting his health in danger includes Vince either telling him not to do it or trying to tell him not to do it again with zero judgement and purely out of concern for Mick’s well-being.

In light of recent events, this one is looking so much Harsher In Hindsight that it's probably not salvagable.

* Something easy to overlook about Vince is that he's been married to Linda for ''over fifty years.'' They met when she was thirteen and he was sixteen, he asked her to marry him [[HighSchoolSweethearts shortly after her high school graduation]] and they've been together ever since. Despite a lot of the antics Vince gets up to in {{Kayfabe}} (most [[NeverLiveItDown infamously]] drugging Linda and making out with Wrestling/TrishStratus in front of her), that's apparently all it is -kayfabe- and Linda has stuck with him through everything. That kind of long-term dedication to each other is a rare thing in show business.
** Vince gets mocked on a regular basis for seemingly always wanting a hot young blonde to be the top female star in his company no matter who the most talented female is. Linda is blonde. This could simply mean he HasAType... or it could mean that Linda is something of a creative muse to Vince, like he believes blondes are inherently better at attracting attention because of the blonde that attracted ''his''.
** The [=McMahon=] marrying his high school sweetheart thing was one indisputably positive trait successfully passed on from father to son, as Shane's wife Marissa is a classic case of FirstGirlWins.

* Before Wrestlemania III, Vince wanted something huge. So he was trying to convince AndreTheGiant to come out of retirement to face HulkHogan for the main event. Andre declined, as he had severe degenerative issues in his back that caused him great pain. Vince convinced him to talk to the best doctors in the country about a radical surgery, vowing to pay for it whether or not Andre competed. He came through on his word, not only giving Andre an unforgettable send-off, but relieving him of an immense amount of pain at the same time.

* Say what you will about [[JohnCena Super Cena]], but one of the main reasons Vince has refused to give him a FaceHeelTurn (and lose out on the huge possible profits that might lie therein) is because Cena loves doing charity work (especially for the Make a Wish Foundation) and being a heel would interfere with it.

* MickFoley was in the middle of an amazing run as his Mankind character. He could have milked it for a lot longer, but he didn't. Vince gave Mick the chance to wrestle as his boyhood persona of Dude Love. Not just for a night, but permanently. He was willing to give up a known success just to give Mick the chance to live his dream. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlNQ6wvOvqA Here it is.]]
