Vince McMahon was recently interviewed by Variety. This was in order to promote Smackdown moving to FOX in a few months.
During the interview, Vince was asked about the criticism that WWE should have an offseason for their talent. This topic was recently brought to the mainstream on HBO’s “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver”.
According to Vince, talent can always get time off without repercussion. Here is a quote:
“Anybody who wants time off can get time off. That’s easy. In addition to that, it’s easy to weave a talent in and out of a storyline. If they get injured, you’re not expecting that. Or if they have a family matter. Our characters are real people with real problems. It’s a revolving situation where this talent will work these dates, that talent will work those dates.”
