8. Vince McMahon Wanted To Buy Newcastle United
Vince McMahon is always thinking big. In fact there have been times where Vince has tried to expand WWE beyond professional wrestling itself. Once upon a time Vince was interested in the WWE having its own bodybuilding league, and another time he tried to take over the world of American football with the XFL. Both of those dreams died early on, and since then Vince has kept himself in the realm of professional wrestling. But recent rumors have been circulating that Vince may now be trying to target the European demographic by purchasing Newcastle United. Newcastle United is an English professional football club based in Newcastle upon Tyne. For Vince, England is still an untapped market for professional wrestling. While the international tours WWE goes on do great ticket sales, there's still a much bigger audience to be won, and if Vince bids on Newcastle United and wins, he could find himself in control of a sporting club that opens the doors to an even bigger WWE Universe. However, at the moment Vince is having some financial woes, both professionally and personally, and making a purchase as big as Newcastle United is certainly not going to be high on his list of priorities anytime soon.
