summary
Uses ring lessons to build concrete systems not just slogans: creates the Performance Center to train talent globally and launches an OTT platform that reaches 1.5 million subscribers, runs 500 live events a year, and claims 70% international viewership while only 30% of revenue comes from abroad. Focuses on localized shows and a developmental tour brand NXT to feed the main roster and social reach of 825 million followers. Says the gamble to tore up the pay-per-view model and go OTT pays off.
