>>17397022WWF/E started to decline in 1999 because Vince took the company public, but he did it in a way where he controlled the majority of the voting stock it was closer to like a professional sports team with minority owners. Like the Mets are currently no turning a profit and losing a ton of cash and the Tigers lost money for like a decade and there are other examples of really old owners over spending because they want to win, but minority owners usually don't give a shit about sports teams losing money because the the franchise evaluations keep going up a lot anyway.
So from 1999 until 2023 there was a board, but vince controlled it and vince didn't care about being a mega jew. now its owned by investors who don't care about wrestling and only care about profits
