Last week, there was a lot of talk about Vince McMahon after Ryback alleged on Twitter that McMahon’s health “isn’t great these days.”
Ryback wrote on Twitter: “Despite the pain and frustration the @wwe has caused me since walking away I want to send love their way towards @vincemcmahon as I’ve heard his health isn’t great these days. Hopefully he can find the strength to overcome so he can witness me kicking his ass fully for #Ryback ❤️”
On the latest “Ask Me Anything” episode of “Grilling JR” on AdFreeShows.com, Jim Ross commented on the health rumors about McMahon.
Ross said, “Well, he’s not a spring chicken like the rest of us in that generation. We all have to face the fact that we’re mortal and aging affects people differently. You know that thing about Vince and his age, he’s still working like he was 25 years old. He doesn’t stop. He only works in days ending in Y and has no time limits, there’s no requirements [that say] I gotta get this done between 9 and 5. So you wonder sometimes how intense he is and as busy as he is and the responsibilities that he has running a massive publicly traded company if it’s getting to be too much. I don’t know the answer to that question. I’m a lot more concerned about his health than him being able to run the company but he will run the company until they bury him. I don’t think he will ever sell the company. I don’t think he will ever slow down to any large degree. That’s just not in his make up and if he did, he would not be happy. I fully believe that people should all strive to find their happy spot or happy place if you will. His happy place was working, it’s always been that way. I think that’s one of the things that made the company so successful…nobody in WWE has ever worked as hard as the owner.”
Ross said McMahon has no hobbies and the only thing he does is go to the gym and then back to work.
Ross continued, “the only thing I’m concerned about is Vince’s health. I only wish him the best, he helped me a lot along the way. You wonder sometimes are you doing what needs to be done or are you doing what you’re forcing yourself to do. It’s almost like an obsession with him to work.”
At this point, there is no evidence to suggest that McMahon’s health is declining. The last we heard from a company source was that McMahon is still in good health and he still works out.
