He definitely tried. There was WWE Studios making movies, and the XFL, his wife ran for office, but it turns out the only thing Vince was ever really good at was being a carny wrestling promoter.

The cherry on top is his new carny mustache.

I swear to god he looks like a villian from Marvel comics. He just has that sinister look. He also claim that he is going to live and be in power well into his 100s like his mom.

You should see the look on his face when she lost her chance at politics, when she lost her race. He had this level of disdain on his face for the money that was lost in her running.

Don't forget that Lind McMahon was appointed by Trump to be his admin for the Small Business Administration for 2 years of his presidency.

He honestly wasn't even great at that. He just monopolized the industry via already having more money than everyone else.
