During one of the recent episodes of his “My World” podcast, Jeff Jarrett delved into the characterization of WWE’s Vince McMahon as a “transactional human being”, a term coined by Maven. Not only did Jarrett support this characterization, but he provided some notable insights on the subject.
Check out some of the pivotal moments from the podcast:
Jeff Jarrett, while reflecting on Maven’s tag of Vince McMahon as a transactional personality: “My own experience along with those of many others, does support this claim about Vince. While there’s an enigma that surrounds him due to the controversies and ongoing legal tussles, I believe Vince does have a human side to him. However, when it comes to conducting business, he’s not the only one who adopts a purely transactional approach.
“I reckon from what I’ve known of him, his reflections on my father, and the tales of his contemporaries, he is merely following in the footsteps of his predecessor. That’s vintage business for you – either you adapt or bid adieu. You exploit the talents to make money and if they’re no longer beneficial, you set them free. It’s the bitter-sweet reality of the business world. Harvey Mackay, Jack Welch and many other renowned business tycoons follow the same path. But the wrestling universe holds a unique character with a strong human perspective, and an element of mystique. Kudos to Maven for encapsulating this aspect. I’ve always perceived Vince in that light.”
Regarding John Cena’s unyielding status as a protagonist: “It’s likely his polarizing persona led many fans who desired to jeer him, to perceive him as an antagonist over the years… He was considered a ‘heel’ by them–don’t you think?… They had high hopes of him portraying an adversarial role”.
