Since resigning as executive chairman of TKO and officially ending his association with WWE, Vince McMahon has largely stayed out of the public eye. Having been with the company for over 40 years, much of WWE’s success today is credited to him. However, after serious sexual abuse allegations were made against him by a former WWE employee, McMahon left the company and has been dealing with legal matters.
McMahon’s departure shocked many, and he’s rarely been seen in public since. But recently, the billionaire was spotted at a basketball game, and fans quickly reacted — not just to his rare public appearance, but also to his striking new look, which many compared to the late attorney and businessman Robert Kardashian.
Vince McMahon’s New Look Sparks Fan Reactions
On Monday, March 17, while the wrestling world was buzzing about John Cena’s promo on Raw in Brussels and whether Bron Breakker could defend his title against Finn Bálor, the former WWE chairman was at Madison Square Garden, watching the Miami Heat face the New York Knicks.
Dressed in a green suit and shirt (possibly to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day), McMahon’s appearance caught fans’ attention. His hairstyle, featuring a gray streak in his combed-back dark hair, led many to compare his look to Kardashian’s signature style.
Robert Kardashian cos-play. He looks heavier in the face than he did at the Super Bowl. I know Vince is Irish but thats a lot of green. https://t.co/ReK5qX1gDj

McMahon and The Undertaker at the Super Bowl
Earlier this year, McMahon was also spotted at Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans, alongside his son Shane McMahon and WWE legend The Undertaker.
The Undertaker and Vince McMahon have shared a close bond over the years. However, given the serious allegations against McMahon, many fans questioned why The Phenom appeared with him in public.
The Undertaker addressed this during an appearance on “Busted Open.” He explained that despite the controversies, he still considers McMahon a friend and acknowledged the major role he played in his career and life.
“I was his guest, yeah. Look, I’m gonna get hate for that. People are like, ‘Oh you guys were so close, you know what happened.’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know what hasn’t been done, we don’t talk about those things.’ But he is a friend of mine.
“First off, he gave me an opportunity to make something of my life and become something. Through the course of all of those years, we became friends. After my father passed away, he was a father figure, he was a brother, he was a mentor.”
While many have turned against McMahon, some still hope for his return to WWE. However, at 79 years old, it seems highly unlikely that he will ever make a comeback to the wrestling industry.
