Linda McMahon: CEO of wrestling business, a "testosterone-charged industry"

Linda co-founded Titan Sports, Inc., [a business promoting WWE, World Wrestling Entertainment], in 1980. Linda became President and CEO of the company in 1993. The company's explosive growth and transformation of the wrestling industry has caused some observers to label her & husband Vince "business geniuses".

One of Linda's major interests in WWE was product merchandising. She negotiated many of the company's business deals with vendors, establishing the company's first line of action figures, Wrestling Superstars, in 1984. It was a first in the wrestling industry and helped expand the company's popularity to children.

When asked what it was like being CEO in a "testosterone-charged industry", McMahon replied, "It's lots of fun. I'm an only child, so I grew up as my father's son and mother's daughter. I was quite a jock. I really have a very good understanding of the male psyche--I'm very comfortable in a guy environment. It's still a testosterone business, and I like it."
