While for many fans pro wrestling is a sport and entertainment, for most of the world, it is a business. While the audience only watches the wrestlers, there are also a lot of people involved in a wrestling show. Not only do people gain money from it, but there are promoters, sponsors, and the lot connected to every wrestling show, big or small and Vince McMahon knows it all too well.
It might also be the reason that Ari Emanuel and Endeavor will not fire McMahon even though the fans aren’t appreciating his work.
It laid out that McMahon will have a yearly salary of $1.2 million for his role as the Chairman if he is let go by the new owners. In addition to that, he would get bonuses and stock grants as well, equaling his total to $7.6 million yearly.
If they fire him without a just cause, it would mean that Endeavor will have to pay McMahon’s salary and $6.6 million as well as part of his bonuses.
While fans got #firevince trending on Twitter, it may not lead to his departure from the company. If the fans want to see him gone, they would have to work extra hard to make it happen.
