During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Vince McMahon was asked about the recent waves of firings in WWE.

Pat McAfee said the following:

“People always assume that you just have no heart and you do not care at all about any of these people...are any of those decisions more difficult than others, or is it just always what will make the best show in your eyes?”

Vince McMahon replied:

“I’m always concerned about what’s best for the audience. Always. What does the audience want? And if you have dead weight around, you have situations whereby someone’s not cutting it and you have an opportunity for someone else to come in, it’s like, okay, that’s probably the best thing. It’s one of the reasons why, with [Hulk] Hogan and a lot of those guys who left me at one time, [it’s] why I brought them back...what’s the best thing for business? If the audience wants Hulk Hogan back, you bring him back, if he has value that way.”
