The legendary commentator of WWE For decades, and for a few years, special commentator and star of AEWhe talked about the time Vince McMahon, as president of WWE, put him in charge of the task of acquiring wrestling video libraries for WWE.
Ross declared that AEW President Tony Khan should also try to acquire video tours and monetize both AEW's videos without giving someone the rights to his video library. These were his statements:
► Jim Ross And when Vince McMahon He asked to buy wrestling video libraries for WWE
“The biggest plans were a video library around which we could build. All that material was produced episodically. It is perfect for television. If you see the first episode, then you will want to see the second, and so on. I met with Doris Adkisson … So, we met with Doris and she was an aggressive saleswoman, and then I met with Larry Matysik in St. Louis … Larry is an intelligent guy.
«He knew what we were trying to do. It is not as if it were a crime. We wanted to be able to schedule a network of some description and we needed content. The content is the king, and that ended up generating WWE million dollars with his own network, his own brand, and they have done incredible job building that brand.
«And I am sure that at some point on the road, Tony Khan is taking notes to fully monetize his brand at some point in the future, and can be done without giving the rights. Simply, let the registered trademark be used in a different location and in a different way. So, I think that probably one of our best strategic movements was to buy all those video libraries, and I was in charge of acquiring them, so to speak. ”
