Vince McMahon has largely stayed out of the public eye since stepping away from WWE. However, the 80-year-old recently made a surprising public appearance that stunned fans and wrestling veterans alike, including Vince Russo.
McMahon was involved in a car accident in July and was subsequently charged with reckless driving. He appeared in court for a hearing regarding the incident on October 16 in Stamford, Connecticut. During the hearing, the judge ruled that McMahon could enter a pretrial program to resolve the case.
Photos and footage of Vince McMahon from the hearing showed a noticeably different look, leaving many people stunned. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s *Writing with Russo* podcast, Vince Russo commented on McMahon’s appearance, saying he looked better than he had in a long time.
> “He does not look bad. So I am thinking in my mind, the stages we have seen of Vince, maybe he just went through cosmetic surgery or whatever he did, and maybe they needed time to heal. I am telling you, bro, I just saw the footage, and I am like, ‘That’s the best I have seen him look in a long time,’” Russo said.
**WWE Hall of Famer Predicts New Project from Vince McMahon**
Since leaving WWE a few years ago, Vince McMahon has remained largely off the wrestling radar. However, WWE Hall of Famer JBL believes the 80-year-old could be working on a new project, possibly a book.
“I think there is probably a 99 to 100 percent chance. Unless something happens — there is nothing 100 percent, but as close to 100 percent as you can get — in the next, I would say, one to two years, you’re going to get a book,” JBL said. “I have a feeling it’s going to be beyond belief. I have a feeling it will be raw and completely, no hiding or anything. I think Vince is going to let everything out. I think it’s going to be one of the best books ever written. I can’t wait to read it.”
JBL added that he expects McMahon to put every detail of his life into the book, including the more embarrassing moments:
> “I have a feeling Vince is going to put every single detail in there, embarrassing or not, and I have a feeling it’s going to be one of the craziest things. I’ve told people for so long, if people knew the real Vince, they would not believe it. They would think it’s fiction,” he said.
**A Legacy Marked by Success and Controversy**
Vince McMahon played a pivotal role in transforming professional wrestling and elevating WWE to unprecedented heights. However, his tenure with the company ended on a controversial note after allegations of sexual misconduct forced him to step down from his leadership positions.
