While there were rumblings that Vince McMahon may return to the wrestling industry, that’s not the case.
During an episode of 83 Weeks, Conrad Thompson revealed he’d heard rumors of McMahon potentially rehiring former WWE executives and engaging in conversations with experienced wrestling cameramen about a new project. It was speculated that FOX could be his partner in the deal.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez discussed McMahon’s situation. Meltzer stated that McMahon is not getting back into wrestling.
Meltzer: “I mean, he’s not starting a wrestling promotion. I can tell you that.”
Alvarez: “But he wants to start a company.”
Meltzer: “Oh, he’s starting an entertainment company, yeah. There was stuff floating around yesterday about him starting a wrestling company, and those close to him say, ‘No, that is not happening.’ I mean, logic would tell you the same thing. I don’t think people really understand.”
Alvarez: “He can’t. He would be immediately number four.”
Meltzer: “He could get up to number three.”
Alvarez: “I mean, he probably could at some point. But I mean, initially, at the very beginning.”
Meltzer: “He could surpass TNA there.”
Alvarez: “At some point, he would, but I mean, at the beginning, they’ve [got] all the best talent, I shouldn’t say all the best talent, but most of the best talent is all locked up right now.”
