WWE Nearly Purchased Adult Themed Magazine Company

WWE Nearly Purchased Adult Themed Magazine Company WWE

A WWE name has revealed that the Vince McMahon-led company were negotiating to purchase an adult-themed magazine company.

The revelation was made by Bruce Prichard on the Something to Wrestle podcast, saying:

“We were winding down the Playboy association And again, we were in transition. We were transitioning to a more PG-themed product.

“But there was a point in time where we were negotiating to actually purchase Playboy. That was an interesting time as well.

“I think that anytime that you can be on newsstands in front of the public, whether they bought it or not.

“When you would walk by a newsstand, you would see your stars on the cover. Whether they bought it or not, they saw those stars on the cover of Playboy and that was like ‘Oh hey — wow, that’s a huge celebrity.'”

For a period of time, WWE and Playboy had a close relationship with many female WWE stars featured in the magazine in various stages of undress.
