Kevin Nash: If You Cut Pay 50%, It Makes Sense To Cut Ticket Prices 50%
Kevin Nash continues to weigh in on the business practices of TKO.
In recent weeks, it’s been reported that WWE superstars have been asked to take pay cuts. New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) left WWE, reportedly over being asked to restructure their contracts.
On Kliq This, Kevin Nash gave his thoughts on talent taking cuts in relation to ticket prices when he was asked if less pay and less dates translated to higher ticket prices.
“If you’re looking at television production, I have no idea what the cost is, but back in the day we could shoot Nitro for half a million. The building isn’t going to go up. If you’re paying the talent less, you have a 50% saving there. I could only think, at that point, the ticket prices should go down. If they can’t work it out financially, maybe some of the higher-ups can kick some of their golden parachute back and help out the working man a little bit. It’s always about Main Street, not Wall Street. It would only make sense. 50% pay cut to the guys, tickets are 50% off,” he said.
Elsewhere during the podcast, Nash commented on TKO getting involved in WWE creative. You can find his full comments here.
