The wrestling community has been buzzing about the future endeavors of Vince McMahon following his departure from WWE amidst serious allegations. The question on many fans’ and insiders’ minds alike is whether McMahon might be plotting the inception of a new wrestling promotion.
Speculation arose when Vince McMahon, who severed his ties with TKO Holdings’ board amidst scandal, began liquidating substantial shares of TKO Group Holdings. This sell-off created a narrative suggesting McMahon might be amassing capital for a significant new business project, possibly in the wrestling industry.
However, as reported by veteran journalist Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, sources close to McMahon negate this speculation. It seems that while Vince McMahon is indeed eyeing future business endeavors, creating a wrestling promotion from scratch is not among them.
The complexity of McMahon’s current situation, including a need to rehabilitate his reputation, is one factor deterring this avenue. Moreover, industry sentiment points to the near-impossibility of challenging an establishment as colossal as WWE in the wrestling marketplace.
”Regarding our lead story in last week’s issue, from someone very close to Vince McMahon, while he does want to start up business opportunities in the future, which will be difficult until he can clear his name to a degree, the idea of starting a new wrestling promotion is not one of them. The reality is the feeling from most in wrestling that he simply can’t start from scratch and compete against something of the magnitude of WWE.”
While there is a faction of the wrestling community that envisions McMahon on a path of vengeance, the situation is still clouded by his legal struggles, including the ongoing lawsuit with Janel Grant. Whether or not McMahon is contemplating a “revenge tour” by means of a new promotion remains to be seen.
Fans, meanwhile, are left to discuss the prospects: Do they wish to witness Vince McMahon spearheading a brand-new wrestling operation? Opinions are encouraged to be shared in the comments section.
