* [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince [=McMahon=]]], being WWE's owner and BigBad, has had a LOT of [[TheDragon Dragons]] throughout the years. Wrestlers who have been Vince's [[TheDragon Dragon]] include: Wrestling/MickFoley, [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]], Wrestling/TheUndertaker, Wrestling/TripleH, Wrestling/KurtAngle, Wrestling/TheBigShow(when he wasn't TheBrute), Wrestling/BrockLesnar, Wrestling/{{Batista}}, Wrestling/EricBischoff, etc. Even Wrestling/HulkHogan was this when Vince brought in the nWo to help him kill WWE, though they didn't interact much until Hogan turned face and feuded with Vince. Perhaps the most shocking was Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin, Vince's ArchEnemy, who became Vince's [[TheDragon Dragon]] in order to be WWE champion.
