Vince McMahon was able to change the company’s bylaws to state that no media rights deals can be approved without the majority shareholder’s consent, who just so happened to be him. Now that McMahon is back as the chairman and has full control over the company, a prominent WWE Hall of Famer weighed in on what Vince should do with his reclaimed power.
On the latest “My World” podcast, Jeff Jarrett discussed what Vince should do with the company with co-host Conrad Thompson. Jarrett heard out Thompson’s take on what direction McMahon should take the company before giving his own two cents.
“I was asked that from a couple different people and I said, ‘Why don’t you ask me what I want to see happen?’”
“The professional wrestling industry is run much better in a private setting because there’s a vision, there’s a final decision maker, the buck stops with one person, it’s just how I think the success of our industry can thrive,”
“I think the wrestling industry can be much more successful if WWE is private for all the obvious reasons and some not so obvious. In your public world, in a lot of ways, your boss is Wall Street and how much context does Wall Street really have in our industry?”

It remains to be seen what direction Vince is going to take WWE now that he has full control. Obviously, we’re only a couple of weeks into 2023 so far, so anything can happen.
