"The biggest thrill in the world is entertaining the public, there is no bigger thrill than that"
About this Quote
The intent is partly self-mythology. McMahon is validating the ethic that powered WWE’s expansion: risk, volume, escalation. If the highest good is “entertaining the public,” then the relentless pace, the boundary-pushing storylines, even the moral compromises can be recast as service. The subtext reads like a preemptive defense: don’t ask what it costs, look at what it delivers. In his universe, the crowd’s hunger justifies the chef.
Context matters because McMahon’s product blurs sport and scripted drama, sincerity and con. Calling it the “biggest thrill” softens the machinery behind it: the corporate strategy, the brand management, the labor. It’s also a confession. The line admits dependence on the audience’s gaze, the performer’s addiction to reaction. “Entertaining the public” sounds altruistic, but it’s also a high-stakes feedback loop: if their attention is your oxygen, you’ll keep turning the dial until the arena roars.
