6. Michael Cole Not Interested In His Commentary Job Anymore? Does Vince McMahon Miss Appearing On WWE TV
It is being said that Michael Cole is becoming more and more interested in doing backstage duties in WWE, like doing production work and grooming up and coming WWE commentators.
While Cole’s transition to backstage work isn’t an imminent thing, but there have been a lot of talks about it.
During a recent interview with NOLA.com, Vince McMahon was asked about his passion for WWE, not appearing on WWE programming & more. Below are the highlights:
Do you ever see yourself slowing down?
“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.”
How do you not slow down at your age?
“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.”
Do you miss being on TV?
“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.”
