10 Things We Learned From Vince McMahon's Variety Interview

9. WWE Are Considered Financially Immune

The fantastically named Curry Baker, who works as a media analyst for Guggenheim Securities, is one of the talking heads alongside McMahon in the article. He believes WWE is a "low-risk, high-return" property that is changing minds about pro wrestling on Wall Street. That must be music to Vince's ears, if true.

Baker also pointed out that WWE's lack of operational debt is stunning in this day and age. To him, McMahon's juggernaut is "pretty immune in the event of an economic downturn". Again, this will make Vince smile; the WWE patriarch has always longed for acceptance in the mainstream, and he will surely be delighted that financial experts recognise how tightly-controlled his company is.

WWE are set.

Even if sh*t hits the fan and the world enters another recession, Baker doesn't think WWE will be affected. They've stacked enough capital that the risk of loss is low. In other words, WWE are financially immune regardless of any economic downturn.
