WWE President & Chief Revenue Officer Nick Khan recently appeared on the Matthew Belloni’s The Town podcast. During the interview Khan talked about receiving complaints from former talent.
Khan spoke about talent who claimed there was preferential treatment within the company and compared it to Shaquille O’Neal and the late Kobe Bryant playing at the same time for the LA Lakers.
“Everyone is treated humanely and deserves to be treated that way. I do think there are analogies with our company and other companies,”
“Was Shaq treated better than any other player other than Kobe? Yeah. That’s the way it is,” Khan answered, then mentioning that Will Smith wasn’t removed from The Oscars following his slap of Chris Rock in part because he was a major star. “It’s the same way with us. It’s a meritocracy. If you’re at the top of the card, maybe you have a bigger dressing room than someone at the bottom of the card. Everyone has same opportunity to earn their way there.”
