Vince McMahon Plans On Living Until He's 120

Vince McMahon is 78 years old, but you might not think that by looking at him. Especially now he has died his hair and mustache jet black so that he looks a little like a dastardly villain from a 1960s cartoon. The WWE chairman's nickname isn't the Genetic Jackhammer for nothing. The moment he first revealed what was underneath his jacket at the height of the Attitude Era floored fans, the first confirmation that McMahon loved being in the gym as much as he does sports entertainment. Bear in mind he was already in his late 50s by that point.

Living Until 120

Despite retiring from WWE last year, and even though the company is now owned by someone outside of the McMahon family for the first time ever, McMahon is still heavily involved with the company. Now executive chairman of the newly formed TKO, it really does seem like it'll take his passing for McMahon to not be involved with WWE anymore. As for when that'll happen, if you ask McMahon himself, it's going to be a while.

Kurt Angle was a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience this week. While on the show, the WWE Hall of Famer was asked about his relationship with McMahon. Angle revealed that when he returned to WWE in 2017, McMahon told him there would never be a time when he isn't alive and involved with the company. "When I came back to WWE, he said, ‘I’m gonna have this company for a lot longer than you think... I’m always gonna be working here. They’re gonna have to pry it from my cold, dead hands'," Angle said.

It's In His Genes

Barring the few months he was retired, McMahon has stuck to his word. As for how long he plans on being around, the chairman truly believes he has what it takes to live until he's 120. "I’m 73 right now. My mom lived to be 101. I’m planning on living till I’m 120’ he said, ‘I’m never letting the company go'," Angle revealed to Rogan.

That's right, if you didn't know already, McMahon's mom lived to the impressive age of 101. In fact, it was only last year that she passed away which means McMahon's mom was still alive when he was 76, something not a lot of people can claim. As for Vince McMahon Sr, the current executive vice chairman has already outlived his dad. The older Vince McMahon passed away at 69 following a battle with pancreatic cancer.

Having been a wrestling fan for nearly 25 years and watching McMahon for all that time, I don't doubt for a second that he probably has the genetics to live until he's 120. While the little he sleeps and the amount he trains considering his advanced age can't be good for him, I'm assuming he drinks very little alcohol, eats healthily, and doesn't smoke. Only one person is confirmed to have lived over the age of 120 so far, so it would also be an incredibly impressive record should McMahon do it before anyone else manages to.
