Vince Russo addressed the current WWE ticket pricing structure during a recent edition of his “Legion of RAW” podcast. The former WWE writer suggested TKO Group Holdings, WWE’s parent company, has implemented pricing that negatively impacts fans.
It’s not even WWE greedy; it’s TKO greedy, it’s Endeavor greedy, and it’s Ari Emanuel greedy. I do not believe if Vince McMahon were in place, you would be paying these prices for tickets.
Russo further expanded on his perspective, comparing the current business practices to those under WWE’s previous leadership.
I do not believe that because I swear I can tell you one thing: working for Vince McMahon, Vince really did care about the fans and the fanbase, and Vince was not looking to rip off his fanbase. So it goes beyond the WWE, man. It’s TKO, it’s Endeavor, it’s Ari Emanuel. It goes above and beyond the WWE.
