Bengaluru, Februray 4: Is the biggest ship in the pro-wrestling world on the verge of sinking? Well, by wrestling context, there’s no way that it is going to hit a block but on the corporate side, WWE has never been in such a loosened state, as seen in the past few days.
Shocking the wrestling as well as the corporate world, WWE announced the sudden departure of Co-Presidents George Barrios and Michelle Wilson from the Board of Directors role. For those who don’t know, these two were considered as the #2 and #3 in the WWE just after Vince McMahon. Their role has been pretty big in creating WWE the way we know it today.
According to PWInsider.com, Vince McMahon solely took the decision to fire Barrios and Wilson, without consulting the COO or CBO, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, respectively. WWE are presently in search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer and Chief Revenue Officer after the firing, but have named Frank A. Riddick III as the co-president post on a temporary basis.
