Vince McMahon is without a doubt the most powerful man in the world of professional wrestling, and he has a lot on his plate when it comes to the decisions he has to make on a daily basis regarding WWE.
Over the years there’s been a lot of talk about who will replace Vince McMahon when he finally steps down, and Stephanie McMahon recently discussed the topic during an appearance on the Bloomberg Business of Sports podcast.
According to Stephanie she doesn’t think that there will be one specific person who will replace Vince McMahon, but instead a team of people will take over his responsibilities.
“I do think a lot of the institutional knowledge is important, particularly with regards toward the core content,” Stephanie said. “But it’s also surrounding our business with strong, smart executives. And that’s exactly what we have. So I do think it’s the marriage of institutional knowledge, the incredible production value, the creation of talent IP and storylines and really strong business executives to help us expand. I think it’s a combination of things.
“I don’t think there will ever be a person to person replacement for Vince McMahon. He does too much. The landscape would look different however it shakes out. But I think it’s a marriage of those things.”
It will definitely be interesting to see how WWE moves forward without Vince McMahon at the helm, but one way or another the Chairman of the Board has given no indication that he plans on retiring anytime soon.
