The second one seems a bit more eccentric and thus would probably draw slightly more if for no other reason than morbid curiosity.

I feel like the contents of the box hatching from the egg would also have an impact on any potential draw.

That’s thinking outside the box, Seph.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Vince McMahon is under investigation from the SEC and is potentially facing federal prosecution again.

I want to point out of the craziest bits of Vince McMahon's legacy:

He got 2 separate eggs over.

One of the big draws from the '90 Survivor Series was the Giant Egg. Folks had to have bought that show just to see what was going to pop out of it. And the outcome was... yeah.

Now, if Theory ends up with the top titles at Summerslam, it will cap off a rise that started when he stole the Egg from Red Notice.

You have a strange interpretation of the word “over”.

With the new regime, I wonder if there is nostalgia within the office for some WWE crossover shows with major Japanese promotions that will be capitalized on. A WWE/New Japan show would be pretty epic.

That was the reaction of a woman who hasn’t thought much about the man she’s legally married to in a while and didn’t prepare for questions about him.

… and also didn’t consider that she’s still best known as “Mrs. Vince McMahon” and should always assume that’s why anyone wants to speak to her.

If you're gonna get rid of one, gotta get rid of 'em all.

Laurinaitis is probably gone because of the sex scandals. It doesn’t necessarily mean an upheaval of Vince’s guys. But even Vince’s guys might operate differently in the environment now.

Yeah. Dunn doesn’t need to go per se. He needs to be “reeled in”. All it should take is Steph/H to heavily suggest he uses less camera cuts and see what happens.

I don’t know. A guy who thinks that’s been a good idea for this long… Even if he were forced to cut back on that one thing, the fact that he has to be forced after all these years is a big indictment on his vision. Just find someone with a better mind for the job. Someone you can at least just leave alone and trust not to make the audience vomit during your show.

I’d 100% expect for Dunn to be unable to change his ways and get the boot in this scenario but you give the guy the chance. Nobody knows producing WWE like him tbf.

This. He wouldn’t be impossible to replace, but there is sense to keeping him around if he can adapt. A lot of what he is in charge of works really well. It’s just the actual on-air direction that sucks, and there’s no guarantee that didn’t come from Vince.

Come on, Stu. These women didn’t break their NDAs. WWE are following the paper trail. Let them get their “whore money,” as you would say. But it would be nice to know who they were for research’s sake.

New reports coming out that the latest $5 million was not for NDAs, but company money Vince gave to Donald Trump's foundation. This was known to be Trump's payments for appearances with WWE. Since he did not personally take payment, and requested a donation be made, it would seem that these payments are that $5 million. Why Vince/WWE didn't include that in their accounting seems to be the issue, but it doesn't seem to be in the same category of Vince banging employees :rofl:

That theory makes too much sense for it to not be true. I’m a bit sad FourFifty only got $250k. Maybe he only jerked someone off? Or let them jerk him off?

WWE lost their polarizing iconic leader Vince and gained the super fan friendly and likeable Triple H as the creative show runner. While AEW's leader has turned out to be the biggest nerd mark in the history of the business.

What flip.

I wouldn’t go as far as calling Triple H likeable, but I see your point. It’s been evident that TK isn’t that bright from the start. It just takes some people a little time to catch up.

If Vince wanted to kiss Trump's limp dick and get fucked in the ass by it, then he had no business using WWE's company money to get that done.

All he needed to do to make Trump a fag is ask for a $5 handjob behind the Dairy Queen in Hyden, KY....I'm sure that Jim Cornette would've blasted both of them for being there, and harassing the employees.
