WWE Will be the next WCW
You can already see it. The booking of the product has steadily been getting worse, they aren't making the new stars like they should.
Also, 2 of the 4 McMahon family members have quit in less than one month. With Stephanie being a mother of 2, and Vince 64 years old, what will the future hold? I predict you will see more and more people that have no knowledge of professional wrestling, people who used to run banking companies, retail companies, etc. come in to run this big corporate wrestling company, they won't know anything about it, won't understand talent or anything else. WWE will eventually become the next WCW and fail. |

I don't think it will fail, just will drag on and on for years doing the same old boring shit.

No...WWE will never be WCW, and TNA is the new WCW, with crappy booking.

Booking is crappy in TNA, very WCW like I will agree with you. But What I meant was that WCW was owned by AOL-Time Warner, so they were under this huge corporate banner, a publicly traded company, and WWE is a publicly owned company as well. TNA is not public, they don't have a board of directors who votes on people like the Chairman, The CEO, The CFO and others but WWE does. If the McMahons are forced out, and non-wrestling people start running the company, they will eventually fail. |

I kind of get the feeling that people from the board of directors are beginning to force members of the McMahon familly out of the company. 2 McMahons in a month? Thats unreal. It would be hard to force out Vince since he is the company's largest individual shareholder. I believe he owns over 90% of the Class B stock.

Also Linda quiting doesn't mean anything. She never had anything to do with the product. And Shane had little to do with the product from my knowledge, he was more of getting contracts and tours and whatever. He was the logistics guy. So, there.

Linda was the Chief Executive Officer. That is the highest ranking position in any corporate company. She had everything to do with the product and the day to day running of the company. Are you saying that Linda had nothing to do with things like negotiations on MyNetworkTV, or SyFy, or WGN America? What about the product being PG rated? She has major involvement.

Its not Vince's company anymore. It truly hasn't been since they went public in the fall of 1999. Since it is publicly traded company on the stock market, there are many people that own a piece of WWE. The board of directors and other executives within the company always get company stock as part of their pay package, the more stock one has, the more powerful they are, and yes Vince has the most stock, but he is one person.

Yeah but I think you would agree with me that both Linda and Shane resigning in the span of one month is very, very, odd and fishy. Considering their amount of time with the company, and that they are both executives, its very weird.

Who ever said that if they sell their stock and walk away could be on to something, what happens if there is another boom priod and vince decides to sell more of the stock to the point where HE CAN be forced out. I think he could be forced out as is if they prove in court he isn't doing what's best for the holders but other than that happening or them selling more stock they mcmahon-levesque bloodline will rule. I think Vince see's some of him self in Triple H... Affter seeing that youtube Triple H Tough Enough speech (which he clearly had rehearsed) I can see him in a leader ship role once he isn't wrestling and see's the tallent for their work rate as apposed to pushing the kiss ass's and friends. ____________________________________________________________ By the way, I'm supprised Hogan or someone didn't buy WCW for the price (I'm pretty sure he got to collect that much money from his Turner contract affter vince got WCW till his turner contract expired) I heard for most of the trademarks and name it was less than a million...It would be kinda cool if TNA or ROH had those trademarks, I think they'd be able to do something better with them if it fell in their hands as apposed to the E. |

but as I've discussed before it's pretty obvious that their biggest competition is the ufc.

Besides for the G-TV, Linda had nothing to do with booking and the actual product.

Dude, the McMahons will never be forced out and even if they are, remember that the Levesque clan is right there behind them. You honestly think HHH would let that happen with as much pull as he has? Same goes for Taker. Either way, I don't see it going the WCW route in that sense. The shit booking however, yes I'll give you that, but TNA's booking is 100 times worse than the WWE booking.

It could be very dangerous if the wrong people get involved in running that company. By numbers, WWE is not a very large company. They only did just over 500 million dollars in revenue in 2008 with profits of 45 million I believe. That is not alot of breathing room. Think of all the people that they travel in the company and all of the equipment, production costs, etc. Now think if the wrong people get involved in running the company, it can go to shit real fast.
WCW was on top of the world in 1998, and even part of 1999, and they were sold in 2001 for pretty much nothing. Thats how quick that company fell off the map. Non-wrestling people and wrestling people with no common sense (Vince Russo) is what killed it. Could be WWE someday |

I have heard 2.5 million dollars. Thats for everything, the video library, everything. Look at the Rise and Fall of WCW DVD, even Jericho said "when I heard what WWE paid for WCW, I wish I would have known because I would have tried to buy it because I could have afforded it."
It couldn't possibly been that much money that WWE paid to buy WCW. |

Of course, but you can't compare the average working woman with Stephanie McMahon, who has a 24/7 job. She is in charge of the creative writing part of the shows, so she directs all of the writers. She works all of the time.

Like the McMahon's can't afford a nanny. You are retarded. Children have never stopped females from holding jobs like that.

They have probably multiple nanny's now, what I am saying is that just maybe either Triple H or Stephanie may get bored with being away from their children all of the time and may want to step away from wrestling at some point to be more involved in their children's lives.
