VINCE MCMAHON TALKS ABOUT WHETHER HE PLANS TO RETIRE ANY TIME SOON, IF HE MISSES BEING ON TV, HOW HE BEAT THE COMPETITION AND MORE

NOLA.com interviewed Vince McMahon in conjunction with WrestleMania 34 coming to New Orleans, LA.

When asked if there was anyone on the roster who could jump to main event status by next year’s show he said:

“I don't know. If I did know, I wouldn't tell you. Because it would ruin the surprise. I'm just being honest. I don't know if there is at the moment, but I wouldn't tell you.”

When asked if he misses being on TV he said:

“God, no. That was a chore. I enjoyed it, but it just ate up so much time personally, and I couldn't produce and direct, which is what I love to do. I love to help create new stars and tweak this and help them grow here. I can't do that as a talent because you have to have your head wrapped around that. I've done both in the past, but it's not what I prefer to do. It takes an extraordinary amount of energy to be able to do that. Trying to both is difficult. It really is.”

And if you were wondering if Vince was going to retire any time soon:

“No. No, never. This is not work for me. I never go to work. Ever. Every aspect of the business, whether it's working with the talent or the writing staff, even on occasion working with the legal guys, it's all a big family. I never go to work.”

They also spoke with him on what it took to go national.  It’s an interesting read.  You can check out the story by clicking here.
