AMC to purchase the WWE?

[slik]

"Good sources tell me cable group AMC Networks has been sniffing around World Wrestling Entertainment Inc, the US-listed company behind those ridiculous wrestling programmes, such as WWF, Raw and Smackdown.

AMC Networks has held at least one exploratory conversation with WWE - which saw its shares rise by about 30pc during last week - about some kind M&A transaction in recent months, according to "people familiar with the matter". However, the talks are understood to have not gone anywhere.

Another source said bankers from UBS have been advising AMC Networks, owner of Sundance TV, on a potential deal and financing options.

This well-placed source said any transaction may value WWE at between $2.6 and $2.8bn."

SeekingAlpha.com sent out a WWE alert this afternoon that says WWE stock spiked this afternoon in mid-day trading based on a rumor that AMC Networks is interested in buying WWE.

Here's where I stopped reading. The source is a stupid blog.. A blog that doesn't even know what WWE did or does.

[Droford]

Its probably the new TV deal

[#1-norm-fan]

WWF is my favorite WWE program.

[#1-norm-fan]

Hence my name.

When did you get so terrible?

[Shisen Kopf]

Can't wait to see Khali in the Walking Dead. He's practically a zombie already.

slik has always been serious business. I can understand how his style might be too intense for some.

[VSG]

I was talking about you, Slick.

[#1-norm-fan]

WHA-WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!?!?!?

[VSG]

Randomly treating TNA and NXT as equal, burying Daniel Bryan etc makes me feel like you are doing this to get "mad forum heat", brah!

[#1-norm-fan]

Flipping between TNA and NXT and not jacking off to Daniel Bryan are very reasonable things to do.

I guess wrestling isn't the only place with horrible excuses for "journalists."

Everything is about clickbait these days and it's really fucking sad what's happened to journalism.

IF these rumors did have merit, I wonder if AMC would make the program more focused on dramatic themes and have better writers for everything...

[road doggy dogg]

I hope this does relate to a potential TV deal. Fuck USA, any network that cancels Psych ain't worth shit

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They didn't cancel Psych. The producers (and probably cast) got tired of making it after 8 years. It's just ending.

He routinely posts shit articles from jabronies like this and Ryan Clark. Always posts the smackdown spoilers ruining the show for lazy people who like to click on it. Don't make it so easy to ruin the show for them.

[slik]

people don't have to read the smackdown spoilers if they don't want to...

I was not talking about slik, not the post I replied to and the actual term used (Slick).

ok this mad me laugh

[Heisenberg]

I'm sensing a little Tatanka struggle in here, let's bow our buffalo heads and chant to the spirits

[Emperor Smeat]

AMC barely has enough money to actually purchase the WWE. Even if it was for a potential merger, think the WWE would be the stronger side of the two.

[#1-norm-fan]

You make it easy for the lazy fucks though by posting them.

You're like a drug dealer. People don't HAVE to buy the drugs.

Don't you see, man. Smackdown spoilers are like crack. STD had opened my eyes to this fact.

[#1-norm-fan]

But keep posting them. I need my fix. There's still hope for others but I'm too far gone.

We'll probably see Undertaker cameo on Walking Dead

Maybe a Fandango cameo on Mad Men?
