In the later half of 2024, reports emerged that Vince McMahon was planning to start a new company. This company was rumored to have a headquarter in Los Angeles and be involved in the entertainment hub business.

This week on the Jim Cornette Experience podcast, the veteran questioned the sort of company Vince was planning to create. He pointed out that McMahon hasn't defined the genre of entertainment he plans to bring out through the new company. However, Cornette was sure that the 79-year-old would steer clear of wrestling or sports entertainment because he wouldn't find enough box-office attractions to work for him.

"What kind of entertainment company is he putting together with his blooming friends?" He continued, "It remains to be seen what genre he's going to pursue. I think we've established he's smart enough to know he can't get wrestlers that can compete legally, that are not contractually obligated. There's not enough anywhere in the f*ckin' world. But what's he gonna f*ckin' try to do?" [From 09:30 to 10:22]

While the government agencies may have closed the case, Vince MccMahon still has to deal with the civil lawsuit filed against him by ex-WWE employee Janel Grant.

It will be interesting to see how this case pans out and whether it impacts McMahon's efforts to start a new company.
