In an interview with NOLA.com to promote WrestleMania 34 coming to New Orleans in 2018, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon commented on a variety of subjects, including potential retirement and what it took to defeat his competition, plus much more.

On if there was anyone on the roster who could jump to main event status by next year’s show, Vince responded by stating, “I don’t know and 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.”

On whether he misses being on WWE television, Vince gave a surprising answer stating, “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 and 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 and trying to do both is difficult, it really is.”

Vince was also asked about potential retirement plans and if he plans to retire any time soon, but responded by stating, “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.”
