WWE CEO Vince McMahon has created a wrestling empire and a global phenomenon, but the legacy he's built up in sports entertainment pales in comparison to one thing -- his family.

As McMahon and the WWE prepare for their biggest event yet, WrestleMania 31, on March 29 at the sparkling new home for the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., McMahon isn't thinking about his legacy in wrestling.
With each passing year, the pomp and circumstance surrounding WrestleMania has increased annually since it was brought to fruition by McMahon for the first time in 1985 and put pro wrestling on the map.

While McMahon has become the king of the wrestling business, he told Muscle & Fitness Magazine that he didn't care about what his legacy will be and just wants to be known as a family man.
"I don't look at myself as having a legacy in entertainment, and quite frankly I don't care," McMahon told the publication in an interview for the March 2015 issue, which features him on the cover. "It doesn't matter what I think, it's what people perceive. I'm not good at patting myself on the back. I want to be known as a loving father and grandfather. And if I'm lucky, a great-grandfather. And I'm the luckiest man in the world without question, so it might happen."
WWE viewers are no strangers to McMahon's family as his daughter Stephanie McMahon and her real-life husband and WWE Superstar-turned-executive Triple H help run things behind the scenes and are also the vocal leaders on-screen under the umbrella known as The Authority.
Harkening back a few years to the Attitude Era, WWE fans are definitely familiar with McMahon family drama in storylines as Vince McMahon has gone to war with his wife Linda, son Shane and daughter Stephanie several times over the years to entertain the audience.

The McMahon family drama owned WWE storylines from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, with several changes in allegiances and face and heel turns along the way.
So as McMahon, who doesn't feature himself on-screen very often anymore, prepares for the biggest event of 2015 later this month, he is more focused on being there with his family than the mark the huge "Show of Shows" will have on his already outstanding legacy in professional wrestling.
