There are many adjectives out there that could perfectly capture the business-like personality that\u00a0WWE’s former Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon<\/a>\u00a0had. Some that come to mind include brilliant, a self-made man, and boisterous. Regarding the last word, former WWE CFO and Co-President George Barrios never saw that side of McMahon that other co-workers and the fans witnessed. Rather, he encountered the opposite.<\/p>\n “I met Vince, and I had my own perception that he was a loud, extroverted guy with strong opinions. In the 12 years I was with him, I saw it that very first day, a very quiet guy, more stoic, introverted,” he revealed in his interview with “The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling”<\/a> podcast. “Very different than me. The hardest part of working with Vince, and it’s not what people expect, is the communication. He’s just a quiet, introverted guy.”<\/p>\n Hired in 2008, Barrios served as both a CFO and co-president to the WWE. He exited the company in January of 2020,<\/a> but returned as a TKO board member two years later in December of 2022. He recently published a memoir that captured his time in WWE, and how he helped transform the Stamford-based promotion into the global icon that it is today. His book, “Sometimes Wrong but Never in Doubt: How a Cuban Kid from Queens Transformed WWE”<\/a> is available now.<\/p>\n If you use any of the quotes in this article, please credit “The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling” and provide a h\/t to Wrestling Inc. for the transcription.<\/p>\n
