Al Snow recently wrote an advice column for ‘Sports Illustrated’ titled: Inside Al’s Head. During the column, he gave some advice to aspiring professional wrestler’s and also to wrestling fans. Snow knows what he is talking about as he has been around the wrestling business for a long time.
He shared some of the biggest misunderstandings that fans have about Vince McMahon. Snow worked for Vince for a number of years.
Snow’s advice to wrestling fans:
“If you want to know more about professional wrestling, don’t try to gather more information. Try to get a better understanding of the very thing you love. There are so many misunderstandings. Wrestlers aren’t fired, for example, because wrestlers are not employees. WWE is not Walmart, it is not a job. WWE is always, and will always be, a business opportunity for a wrestler to make money together with Vince McMahon. The more successful you are as a wrestler, then the more money there is for Vince to make”
He says that Vince doesn’t want wrestlers on his roster to fail, contrary to what some fans might believe:
“Another misunderstanding is that Vince wants certain wrestlers to fail. Vince does not want anyone to fail. He genuinely wants every wrestler on his roster to succeed. It’s never an issue if he does not like someone. It is up to every wrestler to take the opportunity of being in the ring and not be scared of losing a non-existent job. So, the more informed you are on the show, the more you can hopefully enjoy it.”

Vince does not want anyone to fail? Then how do he explain for someone like Bo Dallas, Harper, Bayley, Emma, Ascension, Vaudevillians who are being booked like a complete joke and get buried by Vince.
