Thurston has focused for years on WWE&#8217;s finances, and today was perhaps\u00a0the most anticipated\u00a0and consequential financial release day for WWE for a wide array of reasons. They discuss\u00a0COVID-19 ramifications, key metrics on\u00a0WrestleMania when it comes to WWE\u00a0Network\u00a0subscriptions\u00a0and social media, WWE&#8217;s roster cutbacks and its impact on WWE&#8217;s finances, how Vince McMahon&#8217;s role on the Investors Conference call changed without longtime co-presidents Michelle Wilson and George Barrios, McMahon saying WWE might never be in\u00a0the live event business again even after COVID-19 crisis passes, how an elimination of North American non-TV house shows could change WWE&#8217;s profitability and why some of the current data is deceptive, the magic cleaner Triple H referenced that is helping keep wrestlers safe from the coronavirus, and more. If you&#8217;ve been looking for an in-depth overview and understanding of WWE&#8217;s financial\u00a0situation in the midst of the\u00a0coronavirus and analysis of their\u00a0framing of their current\u00a0situation, Thurston provides over 90 minutes of insight and\u00a0digestible\u00a0explanations on where\u00a0WWE stands and how the future looks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIRECT LINK:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2020\/04\/20200423WKPWP-FS-VIP.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
