If Triple H stays on then this tells me Vince coming back after the heat died down was the plan all along.
If Triple H leaves or gets demoted that tells me this was a power move by Vince. I think I’m still leaning toward this being the plan all along, but that doesn’t explain why Triple H undid so many of the roster moves Vince made. So I’m probably wrong. |

This pretty well makes it clear that Vince was lying all along when he said the company would go to his kids.
He's now pretty well said his kids don't mean a damn, and that his exploration of a sale to a non-McMahon entity is his way of telling his kids to fuck themselves in the ass. Not a pretty picture that Vince's painting on his way out of the whole industry, is it? o.o |

It really seems like Vince is going to take it Private again, get a partner to buy all the shares but his own, do a 50/50 split with Vince keeping total control of the product. Then run it like early 2000's where Mr McMahon is all over the shows making out with all the divas.

How wild would it be if Ted Turner bought WWE and renamed it WCW and can finally claim he won the Monday Night Wars.

Was going to call Vince a true boomer for refusing to retire and let another generation take the reigns but turns out he is too old to be labeled a boomer

So Saudi Arabia is one of the speculated buyers. If that actually happened that would pretty much be the end for women's wrestling in WWE. Might be a logical reason Stephanie would quit.

My guess is they came to Vince with a deal and that's why he wanted back in and running things ASAP

I don't even know how legally that would work. Like how can a Government own a business? I can't see NBC, Fox, or anybody else in entertainment paying money to/doing business directly with the Saudi Government. Not something that relies so heavily on consumers.

I just don't see how it is possible. Are they going to cancel Wrestlemania and other event venues already announced? Saudi Arabia is not going to pay $7 Billion for Philadelphia or L.A. to have Wrestlemania.
Are any wrestlers going to want to relocate over there? Good luck reporting their actual incomes for tax purposes, the IRS sure as shit is not gonna play that. |

The women's employee/roster members/other staff numbers are as follows in WWE right now.
Raw-15 SmackDown-19 NXT-34 Unbranded-3 PC Trainees-17 Refs-2 Broadcast Teams-5 Others-5 Ambassadors-6 Producers-1 PC Center Staff-3 Corporate Board-2 Total-112 Out of that, if WWE is owned by the Saudis, ALL 112 positions will be eliminated, all 5 overall Women's titles will be retired, and the Women's Royal Rumble match, Money In The Bank match, Queen's Crown tournament, and Dusty Rhodes Women's Tag Team Classic tournament will all likely be gone too. That's basically what's at stake here....the end of women's wrestling in mainstream wrestling culture, because Vince made the wrong moves. And it sucks. > = S |
