WWE President Nick Khan Calls Online Wrestling Fans "Vocal Minority" (WWE News)
Nick Khan filters out comments made on X and other social media apps by WWE fans.
WWE president Nick Khan has told Sports Business Journal that he doesn't read comments posted about the company on social media apps like X or others. Why? Well, Khan has described people jotting their thoughts down on those platforms as "a vocal minority", and has questioned the credibility of what they're saying.
Here's exactly what Nick said on the matter: "I have never read X or Twitter as it relates to our business and I’ve certainly never read it regarding me. That is a vocal minority".
The Wrestling Observer then drew attention to similar remarks Khan had made about the IWC before last year's WrestleMania 41 event. Back then, Khan said this:
"As much as we listen to our audience, we won’t listen to social media and respond. We think it’s a small percentage of voices who have a big microphone or megaphone in front of them. It’s a mistake to respond to your business based off of that. You’ve got to base it off your gut and the results".
Elaborating, Nick added the following:
"Some of the complaints are, ‘I didn’t like the match - you guys are pieces of s***.’ And I go, ‘OK, I got it.’ Some are, ‘Hey, we had an obstructed view.’ OK - we’ll have you come to our next show. People are allowed to complain, but we don’t adjust our business based on complaints. We adjust based on ratings, revenue, relevancy".
WWE/TKO will reportedly lower ticket prices over the summer amidst backlash about soaring costs. On the creative front, the company has also taken a ton of flak for the lacklustre build towards 'Mania 42.
