If anything, I think once Vince is found dead in a hotel room (I can guarentee that is what will happen, he'll fall over dead still working) the WWE will slowly improve. The wrestling will get better, the storylines will be most conistant instead of just changing on his whims.

It will get worse. Nobody will be as dedicated to the product as Vince was. It would be nearly impossible to find someone who understands marketing, television, cable stations, the demanding lifestyle, and wrestling talent like he did to run the company all the while that person gives up their life like he has to run his business.

Stephany has proven to be a workaholic, not a mom. Quit trying to make her into something she isn't.

I wouln't bet against Vince getting less involved in the company in the coming years. He simply he won't be able to put in the hours as a 70 and 80 year old man. He is human like anyone else.

The circumstances within the old WCW and the current WWE are different right now, but I do see what you are saying. WCW was, as I understand it, rather disorganized in terms of management and direction. WWE doesn't really have that problem. Their problem is the product, and selling it. WWE probably won't crash and burn like WCW, but it is possible that the company could face closing if the downward trend continues in the years to come. Crappy booking or not, TNA better do something fast because competition is the only thing that will keep the business alive any longer.

WWE should have already been the next WCW. I'm starting to think if it can survive all its prior follies, the only way the company will go down is if they start blowing little boys live on air while shooting steroids and heroin into their toes.

Sadly, they'd still get the "Smark" demographic.

As negative as you are, you are completely correct on all fronts. I don't know how the necrophilia story line didn't completely finish them.

Didn't vince only put something like 19% of the company on the public market, while it was at it's peek (and walked away with a lot of money and still had the control)

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.

I think the change that WWE experiences when Vince stops being involved/dies will be roughly analogous to All Japan Pro Wrestling after Baba's death or, as time will tell, NOAH after Misawa's death.

Depends since Vince really didn't need to hire any employees from WCW or wrestlers and most decided to stay out of wrestling to finish their higher paying contract than what they would have gotten anywhere else (ex. Flair, Goldberg).

All Vince really bought was the trademarks, names, and video library. Someone like Jericho might just want to own the "WCW" name and then sell it off to Bischoff since he wanted to continue WCW.
