Linda McMahon has done a lot more for the industry than you think. Linda negotiated the lions share of business deals with outside vendors, including their action figure line. She was also instrumental in landing WWEs television deal with Viacom, and in the classification of their wrestlers as independent contractors rather than employees. In fact, it wasnt just Vince that founded Titan Sports, which went on to become the current WWE product we all know and love. It was also Linda. Linda has spearheaded projects ranging from college grants, to funding public facilities, to a WWE voter registration campaign, to a WWE education program, to assistance in the Special Olympics. Shes made the WWE into a company involved in many things outside the ring, and her legacy continues to resonate today. Its been long speculated that the companys abrupt turn toward a PG product was a direct result of her preparing to launch a senate campaign two years later. In fact, not long after the PG turn, Linda left the company to focus on her political career. The fact that she lost twice hasnt shifted the company away from their mainly PG stance thus far. Still, its impossible to reject the work shes done for the company, and her many contributions outside the ring. Linda McMahon helped make the WWE into something more than just a wrestling show.
