Vince McMahon has a lot to consider when booking WWE, and that can include his Superstars’ well being. He invests a lot of time and money into pushing talent and he expects them to deliver. That might include pushing them to the limits, but it’s all about business for McMahon.
Former WWE doctor Dr. Frank Romascavage recently sat down with Wrestling Inc to discuss a variety of subjects. During their conversation, he was asked how Vince McMahon views the well-being of his Superstars. For Mr. McMahon it is all about business and Dr. Romascavage expanded to discuss the strain and pressure on WWE Superstars to maintain their appearance while staying on the road so often.
“I know Vince, his wife, his daughter and his son. It’s all about business. It’s a business proposition all the way down the line. Vince expects the best. Guys make a lot of money. They have good careers. They make a lot of money, and that’s more power to them, but they’re talented people. Nobody really appreciates the stamina that these folks have.”
“They’re on the road 300 to 350 days out of the year, and they’re never around their families. It’s just unbelievable. They have to be able to talk. They have to be able to do the walk. They have to look physically great. They have to look just right for the cameras, and they have to do their whole role as designed. That’s how it has to be. I always tell people, these guys have to have a mega amount of talent to be a member of WWE, but Vince, he’s a business guy. I’ve never seen him ever demean anybody, or hurt anybody or say anything nasty.”
“He just expects a certain thing, but the guys and the girls all know that it’s part of the life. It’s how it is just like when you play for the NFL. You’re you’re going out there. You’re beating yourself up, and there’s consequences at the end of your career. Most people say, ‘I know that,’ and wrestling is no different. They take a beating. People can make all the derogatory comments about if it’s choreographed, planned or whatever, but man, when you hit a chair, or you fall off that ladder, guess what happens?”
Vince McMahon takes his own health very seriously because it is the ultimate business investment. WWE Superstars must invest their time into maintaining their physical preparedness as well. You never know when an injury might strike, but everything is business for Vince McMahon,
