• Hall Of Famer Wants Vince McMahon To Turn WWE Into A Private Company Again
The World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) became a publicly traded company / joint stock corporation during the Attitude Era, but a lot of critics and fans have expressed their dislike over several decisions they had to make as a publicly run wrestling promotion over the years.
But while – in theory – it would be possible to turn WWE back into a private company again, this would be a very difficult and highly expensive process with a lot of possible corporate drawbacks.
However, 2018 WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett feels that’s exactly what Vince McMahon should do!
Here’s what Double J said on a recent episode of his weekly ‘My World’ podcast:
“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?”
