Vince was hired by the WWE owner's wife Linda McMahon, which resulted in a job as editor for WWF Magazine. Vince was promoted to head writer in 1997. Famously turned the struggling WWF into a former cartoon-style product to adult oriented programming and helped WWF to beat WCW. Left WWF in 1999 to become WCW's head writer.

- Was briefly hired back by WWE in 2002 as a writer. He had a meeting with the creative team with Stephanie McMahon, the head of creative, being absent. That night, she calls him on the phone and talks down to him as if he was a child. That was when he realized working in WWE with Stephanie as creative would never work out.
- Former writer for the World Wrestling Federation, defected to World Championship Wrestling in 1999.
- Leader of the New Blood.

- This highest rated segment I ever did in WWF was "This is Your Life:" Rock, when Mick did it. I'll never forget the next day: I was the anti-Christ, it was the worst show they ever saw, Russo's killing wrestling, etc. The segment did an 8.4: eight-and-a-half million people watched that show! Do you know what that did for the wrestling business in general? These people should have been kissing my feet because now 8 million people were looking at wrestling. To me, that's all that mattered. But you have these little cliques of internet people and all they care about is themselves and "what I like" and "what I don't like." Well you know what? It's not about you, it's not about me, it's about the masses. And when 8 million people are watching your show, it doesn't get any better than that.
