Former WWE star John Morrison recently spoke with Denise Salcedo for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling and WWE.
During the discussion, Morrison talked about the recent changes in WWE.
Following Vince McMahon’s return to WWE as Executive Chairman of the WWE Board of Directors, a number of changes were made, including Stephanie McMahon’s resignation and Nick Khan’s promotion to sole CEO. Currently, Triple H is in charge of creative, but that could change at any time.
McMahon had stated that he was coming back to assist in the company’s sale and the negotiations for the TV rights.
Morrison said, “First of all, it seems crazy, right? Change is crazy. I can’t believe [it all]. Vince left. Vince is back. Hunter’s in charge. Without getting into the nitty-gritty of everything, it seems crazy until you think about things historically.” said John Morrison, “In that frame, it’s not that crazy. Because that’s what happens to civilizations, to businesses. Specifically, the wrestling business.
He continued, “When Vince McMahon started it, basically he put a whole bunch of territories out of business, got a national TV deal and built WWF at the time up to what it is today. That came out of turmoil and turmoil is what happened with WCW and WWF. In the race back then between those two companies WWF won. Now AEW is on the map. Now Vince is back and he might sell the company to Saudi Arabia. It’s chaotic, it’s interesting. I think it’s part of the intrigue of the business.”
