Here’s Why Endeavor and Ari Emanuel Will Never Fire Vince McMahon Despite Fan Backlash

While for many fans pro wrestling is a sport and entertainment, for most of the world, it is a business. While the audience only watches the wrestlers, there are also a lot of people involved in a wrestling show. Not only do people gain money from it, but there are promoters, sponsors, and the lot connected to every wrestling show, big or small and Vince McMahon knows it all too well.

This is the reason why McMahon has had a much longer span as the head of a wrestling promotion than anyone in the wrestling business. It might also be the reason that Ari Emanuel and Endeavor will not fire McMahon even though the fans aren’t appreciating his work.

Why Vince McMahon will not be fired by WWE despite #firevince trending

The Wrestlelamia account on Twitter tweeted out a detail into McMahon’s gains from WWE after the merger with Endeavor. It laid out that McMahon will have a yearly salary of $1.2 million for his role as the Chairman if he is let go by the new owners. In addition to that, he would get bonuses and stock grants as well, equaling his total to $7.6 million yearly.

If they fire him without a just cause, it would mean that Endeavor will have to pay McMahon’s salary and $6.6 million as well as part of his bonuses. So, as you can see, it is not looking good for Endeavor. They can’t sack McMahon without paying him a hefty sum unless he wants to leave the company himself.

While fans got #firevince trending on Twitter, it may not lead to his departure from the company. If the fans want to see him gone, they would have to work extra hard to make it happen.

What happens when fans’ rebellion takes over the show?

It isn’t surprising that fans take charge of what they want to see in wrestling. In WWE, this has happened a few times already on a massive scale, and WWE conceded pretty quickly. The first time was when the Yes! movement took charge and WWE had to make sure that Daniel Bryan was the champion at the end of WrestleMania XXX. The next time was when Kofimania took over leaving WWE with little choice.

So, what would stop fans from rebelling again to get the TV product they desire? Well, we have already established that Endeavor will not let go of McMahon, but they could get him to restrict himself from the creative process in WWE. They could have him only giving insights that help to add to the show, rather than scrapping the show and editing it as was reportedly the case with the RAW after WrestleMania.
