Here are some excerpts:
DECLAN MCMAHON ON IF HE HAS ANY ASPIRATIONS TO PLAY FOR THE NFL OR XFL:
“You never know. Obviously, you know my Grandfather (Vince McMahon) owned the XFL before he sold it. Obviously, you know there’s options and I think it’s one of those things if the opportunity presents itself, I would love to obviously play in the NFL but if that opportunity doesn’t come, you know, there’s obviously so many options: family business, things like that. So you never know. But in terms of aspirations, whenever duty calls, or whatever opportunity presents itself I’d be willing to jump on it.”
DECLAN MCMAHON ON “MUSTACHE” VINCE OR “NON-MUSTACHE” VINCE:
“Non-mustache Vince! 100%! !00% non-mustache Vince!”
DECLAN MCMAHON ON WHY HE CHOSE INDIANA UNIVERSITY:
“What really made me decide to take IU’s offer was just…one, it’s just an amazing school, you know, and working to be in the Kelly’s School of Business and you know trying to get a degree from there, that was obviously a big, big, big thing because my Mom would always preach, growing up, education. They wanted me to get a good degree, you know in whatever you do, whether it’s make the NFL, join the WWE, who knows. You want to make sure you get a good degree to set yourself up for the future.
But in terms of the football side of it, I really chose Indiana because we love Coach Allen. He preaches something called LEO – which is Love Each Other. And in just being here, you know and being here in my visits, everybody just treated me with such kindness, you know and brought me in with just open arms.”
In addition to talking about these topics, Declan explains more about the IU Takeaway Belt, talks about his major, is the first participant in WU Online’s “10 Questions in the Fastlane” and more.
