WWE CEO Vince McMahon revealed that he no longer runs WWE whole heartedly McMahon made a rare interview appearance this Thursday on the Pat McAfee Show. While Pat is popularly known for his commentary, his interviews give a peek into the minds of his guests.
McMahon discussed a few topics in the interview, including how he runs WWE. McMahon claims that he no longer does it with his heart, and because of this WWE became a publicly-traded company.
“It’s not personal, it’s business. Once I took the company public, it helped me be a better businessman because prior to that I was running the business mostly with my heart. These decisions are so d*mn tough when you do that because you know who it is, he has kids, this that and the other or someone has cancer in the family or all that computes in your head. Once you’re a public company, now you owe stockholders. It is the business then. So, it helps me make easier and better business decisions.” Vince said.
