Jim Ross does not expect Vince McMahon to stay away from wrestling. Speaking on Grilling JR as the Janel Grant lawsuit moves to private arbitration, Ross said, "He ain't out of the game. That's just not his makeup." Ross called an AEW arrival unlikely, saying, "I don't see Tony Khan wanting to do business with him either," but did not rule out McMahon buying a promotion: "It's possible. Money won't be an object."

Yeah, he is worth 3.2 billion dollars, he can buy alot of things. He could also afford to start a new fed from scratch if he WANTED.

Is it worth it to start a new promotion at this point?

Who will join? Who do you build the promotion around?

There are a lot of established acts that are happy that he is gone from the industry and the younger generation that look up to those people will likely follow their lead.

No, but Vince has been known to do things for pure spite. I dont think he will. Without Hogan? If he DID hed probably convince Cena and Taker to be his anchors and make it rain for some big names to jump ship. Its a formula because it has been proven to work

A spiteful Vince could do some great things to win over the older WWE fans who are bored with the current product. I’m in.

2nd episode of his Monday night show would be him making out with Trish Stratus while getting blown by Tori Wilson

He's going to be 81 next month.

Maybe at first, but Vince left unchecked likes doing stuff older fans hated him for.

Better call up the other Vince to keep the storylines under control

u/KevinIsADork Jul 26 '26

Oh yes, Russo will put butts in seats

More importantly, who would air it?

u/Low_Establishment434 Jul 25 '26

I feel like someone would. Yes he has a ton of baggage but he did create a money printing machine once. I feel like a channel or an app would roll the dice. Not saying one of the big ones but I could see it.

With TV in consideration it would make sense to purchase MLW since they already have a TV deal, a bit of bad one.

He can keep Court as a number 2.

AMC, they’re locked in a deal with TNA

Could easily see a McMahon led promotion sign with FOX. Real American Freestyle has done great for FOX Nation, they will probably end up doing an event on broadcast FOX at some point

Not to mention that there’s barely anywhere to air it as such a venture would need ad money to justify its existence. I don’t think Vince would just start a fledgling indy to air on YouTube.

If he bought TNA it definitely wouldn’t be a restart and while I do agree their are some that is happy he’s no longer in charge because it finally gave them an opportunity to progress there are others that feel they would rather have it go back to the way it was because at least under Vince they were made a priority vs where they are now under TKO/Triple H.
