Vince McMahon’s name is well known in the wrestling world, not just for his success but also for his controversies. Fans know that retirement was never really in his plans—at least, not while he was alive.
According to recent rumors, McMahon is now considering launching a new wrestling company to rival WWE. It seems the former WWE chairman is already working on a fresh business plan, proving once again that he’s not ready to walk away from the industry just yet.
Wrestling podcaster Conrad Thompson recently talked about rumors surrounding Vince McMahon. On the ’83 Weeks’ podcast with WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff, he shared some interesting details.
Thompson revealed that the 79-year-old McMahon and his team have been in touch with former WWE executives and experienced wrestling cameramen. This has made many people believe that McMahon might be planning a return to the wrestling business.

Speaking about the rumors, Thompson said, “I am saying we’ve heard rumors that Vince has a studio and that he’s hired a bunch of former WWE executives, and then we’re hearing rumors that he’s had conversations with cameramen who have experience shooting wrestling, which seems awfully specific.”
He added, “And if he’s just shooting traditional entertainment, why do you need a wrestling cameraman? And we’re hearing, well, maybe he’s got a spot with FOX.”
Vince McMahon’s new wrestling plans spark mixed reactions
In the wrestling world, Vince McMahon might have the most haters. So, it’s no surprise that rumors about his new wrestling company have sparked strong reactions. Some fans blame him for ruining pro wrestling.
I don't know why people keep trying to make this a thing. Vince McMahon hates pro wrestling. He hates that he will only ever be known as the pro wrestling guy (and also a sexual predator). It's been his biggest insecurity for decades and drove many of his stupidest decisions. https://t.co/KwoAIb4TNQ

However, others miss the days when his top-level booking gave fans goosebumps. Both sides are sharing their thoughts on McMahon’s possible new wrestling business.
Not saying it has to be Vince that does it, but with the enormous amount of talent around now, there is a need for a REAL big third wrestling promotion, just too many wrestlers hoarded up in both promotions now, with much more to come combined with wrestlers that stay forever.

Vince McMahon is the man who can make wrestling great again. It's very easy, he just has to get away from feminism, political correctness, transsexuals and progressives, he already did it in the 90's and early 00's.https://t.co/cWgqiiJseR
