A old clip of Vince McMahon interview has resurfaced on internet due to the former WWE CEO’s seemingly accurate predictions about his company’s long-term future. McMahon appeared on Off the Record with Michael Landsberg in 2004 and was asked about his potential successors back then.
In that interview Vince McMahon explained that it would take multiple individuals to fill his place when he leaves the company. WWE was already a massive organization during the early 2000s, and Vince McMahon realized that the promotion would require more than one person at the top to function smoothly. Here’s what Vince McMahon said, which has become a topic of discussion amongst fans online.
“Well, it would be a number of individuals that run the company. But for instance, I do a lot of jobs and wear a lot of hats. I recognize that after I’m gone, no one individual is going to wear as many hats as I wear. And the company has grown to an extent where it would be impossible for any individual to do that without failing,” noted McMahon.
“So, whereas, in terms of the creative staff and things of that nature and my contributions there, that would be one individual doing that. In terms of the corporate standpoint, there would be another individual doing that. There are at least two people that would do my job,” added McMahon.
