Episode Description

John Pollock speaks with former WWE co-president George Barrios about his new book, Saudi Arabia-WWE, TV media rights, firing in 2020, Vince McMahon’s exit over scandals, and the recent shareholder lawsuit.

The two discuss his role as CFO beginning in 2008, the shift to a business-to-business mode, his evolving relationship with Vince McMahon, when he was ready to leave the company, and the very public exit he experienced in 2020, and subsequent return for the TKO merger. 

Barrios is promoting his new book, Sometimes Wrong but Never in Doubt: How a Cuban Kid from Queens Transformed WWE
