That would be disgusting as he's a sack of garbage as a human being and under a federal investigation for covering up a sex scandal.

No thanks.
Do you remember the Attitude Era? His whole shtick is a sex-crazed villain.

He created this league.
It doesn't matter, I don't want that maniac near this league. The WWE has been doing good without his interference.

I don't think the owners of this merged league want the bad publicity coming out of it if he was involved in any way shape or form.

If by "doing good" you mean a huge drop in ratings and attendance outside St. Louis and DC, yeah, they're doing great! Who needs 20k+ attendance in Orlando when you can get 8k instead? 22k in Vegas? Let's settle for (a probably grossly inflated) 6k instead. And who needs that 4 million TV viewers from the 2020 opener when you can get 1.5 million in 2023? Why have Fox as a broadcast partner when you can let them undermine your league with their own?

Yeah, the XFL is doing great without the founder...

He said WWE was doing good without Vince, not the XFL.

VM is at WWE .

WWE brought VM back in to sell the company... in which he did for a valuation of over $9billion to WWE shareholders. He serves as chairman of the TKO combined company.

Do I think at 78 he's coming back to XFL? doubtful. But if he still has the piss and vinegar for it... who knows. Would he bring connections, expertise and $$$. Yes. Again unlikely but who knows.

Considering the allegations levied against him I would agree. He would almost have to be a silent investor, and I don't know if that's in the cards.

Vince is not involved in the day to day creative of the WWE anymore and that has made the WWE product so much better because of it.

Vince being involved in the league again? Disgusting if he's heavily involved. The sex scandals are not going to give this merged league good publicity. I would think if they need money, they can find someone else other than Vince "Sex Pest" McMahon.

What sex scandals? Deshaun Watson is playing FB with 30+ accusations... that I know but what did Vince do?

Look up "Vince McMahon Sex Scandal 2022" on Google. That will give you a better idea.

Also, Deshaun Watson is also a trash human being. The Browns losing games means he loses and him losing is good for the other 31 NFL fan bases.

Spring Football is better without Vince involved.

Having relations with staff with a non-disclosure? Meh. It takes two to tango. Bad PR maybe but nothing to stop WWE from bringing Vince back to sell for $9billion in less than a year. I'll leave it at that.

But I still don't see him getting involved again. But who knows. He would bring alot to the table.

I do not want him back in WWE, they are doing good without his interference on a daily basis. They are doing quite well with him in more of a figurehead role. Him running things in WWE creatively again will destroy everything that his son in law has been doing on TV. Many wrestling fans don't want him back for that reason alone.
