The New York Knicks had the world talking on Monday night. Some were happy with the team’s quality of play on the court. Others were concerned for Tracy Morgan after he vomited at courtside. The pro wrestling world, however, was locked in on Vince McMahon sitting courtside at the game, and the former WWE Chairman was sporting a new look.
Fans at home immediately spotted McMahon, wearing a green shirt and blazer for St. Patrick’s Day, on the broadcast. The shock of seeing McMahon out at major events like the Super Bowl has still not worn off, as some expressed their surprise over seeing him at an NBA game. Others pointed out McMahon’s interesting new hairstyle. As seen on TV, McMahon now has a grey streak in the front of his dark, combed-back hair.
McMahon’s new jet-black mustache turned heads a few years ago, and now fans are having fun with his latest look. Here are some of the best responses:

Some also tried to connect McMahon’s appearance with Tracy Morgan’s unfortunate vomiting bout at courtside. This includes sharing a GIF of McMahon screaming, “He’s gonna puke” at Darren Drozdov from the Beyond The Mat documentary:

Tracy Morgan got sick during the third quarter of the game. He vomited in front of his courtside seat. This caused a delay of more than ten minutes to clean the area up. Fan footage also showed Morgan being taken out of the arena in a wheelchair and appeared to be using a towel to dab his face. There have been no other updates on his condition.
Update: Morgan has now confirmed doctors told him he had a case of food poisoning.
According to CNN, a spokesperson for Madison Square Garden wished Morgan well and hopes he feels better soon. “We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside,” the statement from MSG read. The Knicks went on to win the game over the Miami Heat, 116-95.
Morgan has had significant health issues in recent years. He was in a coma for two weeks after he was involved in a near-fatal car accident in 2014. He also had a kidney transplant and battled diabetes, both of which he addressed in his 2023 Max comedy special, Takin’ It Too Far.
McMahon has taken a lower profile in public in recent years, but continues to deal with the sexual misconduct allegations and lawsuit brought against him by Janel Grant. FOX also recently denied it was involved in McMahon’s rumored new entertainment company.
