Vince McMahon’s Thoughts On Current Direction Of WWE Revealed

CNBC

TKO President and COO Mark Shapiro has commented on what Vince McMahon thinks about the current direction of WWE.

In an interview with CNBC, Shapiro revealed that he met with McMahon for breakfast a few weeks ago to catch up after the release of Mr McMahon on Netflix – saying that McMahon “couldn’t have been more positive” about WWE’s direction.

Shapiro said:

“I had breakfast with him a few weeks ago. Just to check in, been a long time, haven’t heard from him at all. Obviously the series on Netflix came out. I wanted to see kind of where he was.

“By the way, he couldn’t have been more cooperative, he couldn’t have been nicer, he was a total pro, at breakfast if you will, it’s a one-on-one get together.

“But, he’s out of the business entirely. He doesn’t make decisions, he’s not on the Board, he doesn’t opine, we don’t consult him.

“He’s got some litigation that he’s working through, and frankly he wants the privacy and the time to work through it. Which is great, because in the meantime, we’re going to keep building TKO and WWE, and expanding the horizon, expanding the opportunities.

“And by the way, he’s still a shareholder – not the shareholder he once was, but he’s still a shareholder.”
