In wrestling storylines, one of Vince McMahon's more notable gimmicks is his ability to terminate whomever he feels from either a position or the company. This is a list of those whom he has "fired."

* Kane (Kane was quickly rehired for that one night.)

* Mick Foley (as Commissioner, twice)

* Paul Heyman (as an announcer for RAW)

* Hulk Hogan (after it was proven that Hogan was indeed "Mr. America")

* Kurt Angle (as SmackDown! General Manager and forced back as wrestler)

* Eric Bischoff (since the RAW brand lost to SmackDown! at Survivor Series 2005, plus for failing to accomplish "his goals")

* "Stone Cold" Steve Austin (numerous times)

* Jim Ross (blamed for being Stone Cold's friend, representative of an off-screen decision to replace Ross; Joey Styles is the new replacement RAW play-by-play commentator.)

* Shawn Michaels (as Commissioner, although Shawn notified Vince that he couldn't be fired as per his contract)

* The Undertaker (though Linda McMahon signed him to a new contract just eight months later)

* Dude Love (for not being able to defeat Steve Austin at In Your House: Over the Edge in 1998. However, Mankind came back later in the night.)
