McMahon joining New World Pro-Wrestling is one of those 'One for the ages' moments. The only McMahon involved in Wrestling and it's the 'realism' philosophy one. Very interesting appointment.

Notes from Shane McMahon interview with Ariel Helwani

On Joining New World Pro-Wrestling - "Discussions had been going on for a while. Initially they wanted me to join as a 'face of the company' which I agreed to but I felt like I wanted to be more 'part of it' and spoke to Seaport and Bushiroad and looked at options. Things move fast man but it's exciting to now be able to speak about this."

On leaving WWE - "Ultimately, the place isn't what it was when I was last there. It's changed considerably. Thats not a bad thing. Its life I guess, things change. We all move on. For me, that was a previous chapter where my family created the biggest pro wrestling company in history. I want to carve my own history now."

On Vince - "He's doing well. It's difficult because he's my father but ultimately he's doing his own thing. I understand how people feel about him. I cant change that. I respect that."

On 'What will stand New World Pro-Wrestling out from the rest of the companies?' - "We want to do things differently, we want to be more sports presented, we want to be the true alternative. We feel most of these companies all do it the same way, the same protocol. Very few deviate from that old tried and tested method. The in ring promos, the skits, the comedy. We want to strip it back and make it about the wrestling. Who is the best? Tournaments, win/loss records, weight classes, time limits. Just try and do it differently, so it sets us apart. I think NJPW and that strong style Japanese philosophy is the base, now we want to create a new more realistic 'wrestling universe' around it".

On new signings - "We're on the look out. We have meetings each day to see who is available and whether they are suitable. We require Wrestlers that fit our profile. They need to have a sense of organic realism and believability. Not everyone has that so it's important to take our time. Signing Okada, Miro and Ibushi was huge for us. It shows our ambition firstly. In terms of where they fit in, I will sit down with IWGP President Harold Meji as they may be in the running for shots for those belts but Okada especially definitely is in the NWA Heavyweight Division. I think someone that great deserves a shot at the heavyweight title"

On the future of Pro Wrestling - "I see New World Pro-Wrestling finding it's place as a main player in the sport. Our deal with Amazon Prime is second to none. To get that deal over the line straight out of the gate was not only incredible but important. I helped a little there but ultimately, the deal cements where we wanted to be. Visible on one of the largest media platforms in the world. Come January 2026. You know where you need to go to watch our events. It's pretty simple"
