Vince McMahon On His Creativity: I Have A Second, Sometimes Third, Wheel Always Going

Vince McMahon’s brain never stops moving. 

Vince’s track record and longevity in wrestling speaks for itself as he’s transformed WWE into a global entity and multi-million dollar company. Stories have been shared of Vince’s work ethic and how he never takes a break. 

Along with coming up with an on-screen product, Vince works in the offices to complete deals for the company to make it more viable. 

Speaking on the Pat McAfee Show, Vince explained how he doesn’t get burnt out. 

“When you’re creative, some people think it’s a burnout factor, it’s not really because if you’re concentrating on one thing in the moment, which is difficult for me to do and all your creative skills are pouring in and something else comes this way that’s also creative, it’s a great relief. ‘Hang on, I need to deal with this,’ and when you come back, you’ll think differently, generally speaking, or what you just learned from that. It’s a big creative wheel going on, constantly,” he said.

When McAfee praised Vince’s brain, he joked, “You wouldn’t want my brain.”

He continued by saying, “You need to be wide open. Being creative, you have to stay wide open as far as your head is concerned and being able to accept whatever is coming in from whatever source. I’m really fortunate because I have a second, not a second brain, but a second wheel that’s going on all the time. I have the one I’m using right now and at the same time, I’m thinking about something else right now in another way that I could easily snap to. Sometimes, there’s a third one as well. Sometimes it can all get very confusing. Many times, when I get really tired, which is seldom, but when I do, it’s good because you can focus on one thing.”

Along with running the day-to-day in WWE, Vince remains an on-screen character and mentor to Austin Theory.
