Vince McMahon took part in a call with WWE investors on Thursday. Vince first spoke about the WWE locker room still performing during the coronavirus pandemic. Specifically, he spoke about the challenges of them performing in front of no crowd.
Here is what he said (h/t to Wrestling INC for the quotes below):
“I have to give kudos to all of our performers. They’re working so hard, and when you’re in the ring and you’re normally playing off a live audience, and there’s no one there [now].
“It’s different but our performers are stepping it up, and really, really working hard. We’re trying to produce a great product given the consideration of where we are.”
Vince was also asked about the morale of the WWE locker room during this time. Here is what he said:
“Our only natural resource, obviously, is talent, and our talent have taken this as a challenge, have taken this almost as a duty, which has always happened with us. And they realize that, you know… people are sitting at home, they’re bored… and the fact that we can entertain families together entertain them like no one else can entertain them. So, I think that they look at this as a challenge and they’ve really risen to the occasion. It’s amazing actually.
“And there are a few that are unable to come down due to certain existings… certain things that exist, but nonetheless, by and large, kudos to them. They are a very, very special people, they’re extraordinary athletes. They love to give. That’s what this business is about, that’s why they got into it, is to give and perform for the audience. There’s no live audience, but that’s another kudos to them because you have to think about that when you’re in the ring, as if the live audience . So, all in all, I’m so proud of them.”
