Vince McMahon Comments On If He Ever Plans To Step Away From WWE

Even though his son-in-law — Paul “Triple H” Levesque — is being groomed to be WWE’s next king, it doesn’t appear that the current king — Vince McMahon — is planning to step away from his throne anytime soon.

Following WWE’s announcement that WrestleMania 34 will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana, Vince McMahon did an interview with The Times Picayune, and he explained why he’s not planning on slowing down anytime 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.

“I never sleep. I don’t know that it’s an age thing. I just do it because I do it. It’s just something you love and have the passion for. You can’t get enough of that. How can you get enough of what’s really, really good? You can have steak every night and get accustomed to that, but that’s not what this is. This is not work.”

In recent years, we haven’t seen much of Vince on WWE television, and, judging from his response to the “do you miss being on TV question” it doesn’t seem like he misses it.

“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.”

When do you think Vince McMahon will finally step away? Will he still sit atop WWE when he’s 80 years old? Let us know in the comments below, or over on Facebook!
