Should have just made it a triple threat with the undertaker.
But in hindsight, this action led to creation of the “Mr McMahon” character and helped usher in the greatest era in wrestling.
McMahon could’ve avoided all this by playing dumb. Ground zero, taker wins the title back, hell in a cell, Shawn wins, after Bret drops the title, then Vince frees Bret up to go to WCW. But imo, Vince did the right thing.
