Vince McMahon Warned WWE Could Go Out of Business During Monday Night Wars

TLDR

Former WWE producer David Sahadi claims that Vince McMahon warned staff during the Monday Night Wars that the company would be out of business in two months if they didn't turn things around, as WCW had been dominating ratings for over a year. According to Sahadi, speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, McMahon and Linda were taking liens off Titan Towers to make payroll during this period, and he believes the rise of Steve Austin was crucial to WWE's survival.
