"He's all about flashiness" – Veteran addresses rumors of Vince McMahon starting a new wrestling company (Exclusive)

Vince McMahon, somehow, manages to find his way onto the internet spotlight. The disgraced former wrestling promoter has been embroiled in a major alleged sex trafficking case. Meanwhile, there are rumors that he's planning to start his own company.

During a recent episode of Live Q&A on Backstage Pass, Bill Apter addressed rumors of Vince McMahon launching a new wrestling promotion. The veteran journalist said McMahon might face trouble finding a face for his promotion - thanks to WWE and AEW.

"I don't know if he'd start a wrestling company or an entertainment company. Vince is all about flashiness and I can't see him starting a wrestling company because who's he going to get?"

He continued:

"All the major talent is in WWE and AEW. Who's out there? I mean, what kind of a wrestling program would he get? There's nobody out there who could be your headliner." [From 44:36 onwards]

Fightful recently reported that Fox News had denied any involvement with the rumored Vince McMahon project. McMahon's former company is now owned by Endeavor, with son-in-law Triple H (aka Paul Levesque) working as the head booker.

While Vince may be on the out, his biggest creation, WrestleMania, is just a couple of months away and the WWE Universe is eager to see how it goes down this year at The Grandest Show of Them All.

Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.

Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.

He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.

While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.

When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
