The wrestling promoter justified his return with intentions of pursuing a potential sale, getting involved in WWE’s media rights deals, and maximizing shareholder value. Coinciding with his return, the WWE pioneer also made adjustments to company bylaws, including a new requirement whereby McMahon needs to grant approval for all media deals or a company sale.

The biggest news in the world of pro wrestling right now is the return of Vince McMahon to the WWE Board of Directors, and a potential sale of the.

Yeah, I don’t know at this point if he would say, I’ve got to be, you know, that would be a sticking point on the deal, I got to be in charge. But I don’t think that the individual boys that came back because they didn’t want to be booked by Vince are currently going to have anything to worry about. If using any of these quotes in your own article on other websites, please credit Joshie Lopez with a H/T link back to WrestlingHeadlines.com for the transcription. He’s going to prioritize the main shit, as well as spend all of his time with the lawyers and the negotiators and the accountants and all this stuff. And in this year, they’re going to be reviewing the media rights deals and trying to get more money from whoever. So, if they give them a sale, the company’s going to be worth more money, maybe more real world business will treat the talent better from a financial standpoint or from a benefit standpoint or whatever. Here’s the thing, they may benefit from this if the stocks are already up, the people want a sale, apparently. Either they have been intending to sell the company this year, along with the media rights and he said, nobody is going to do that except me or he has decided now as Vince often does when he gets an idea in his head that this is the right thing to do, that they’re going to explore sales and the media rights at the same time and ain’t nobody going to do that but him. They’re obviously now going to be entertaining suitors to buy the thing, outright. If he was younger, I think that would almost be a certainty, but at this point now, does he just want the final I’m going to wipe it across the face of the board and everybody told me to retire, I’m going to come back, the stocks are going to shoot up through the roof. It’s his crop, he planted the seeds, he watered it, he cultivated the soil, he did all this and now by God he’s going to walk across hell with gasoline britches on to make sure that nobody gets handed that check but him.” But one way or another, when somebody hands some other motherfucker a check for five billion dollars, that other motherfucker receiving it is going to be Vince McMahon.
