He ain't coming back to just sell the company unless there's a buyer lined up.
The question is who'd want to buy it? |

He is also demanding the return of Michelle Wilson and George Barrios to leadership

How hard is Tiny begging Shad to sell the Jaguars right now so he can buy WWE?

Remember how nobody could understand when Vince fired Michelle Wilson and George Barrios for no good reason, and it tanked the stock? Now these 2 are gonna be his trusted allies? They are gonna swerve him first chance they get!

Yessss my unlikely 2023 pick is looking gooood!!!!
I may be misunderstanding it but this from the front page seems key... "It was also reported that McMahon informed WWE’s Board that unless he has “direct involvement” as Executive Chairman from the outset of a strategic review, he would not support nor apprive “any media rights deal or sale.”" Does this mean media rights/sales wont renew unless hes in charge? I.E. he kinda has them by the balls if they want to grow/take on more revenue from media sales? |

But I agree with you Sting, it sure sounds like Vince will reject any new TV deals unless he is in charge again. The problem with that is he would be intentionally hurting the business, and the stockholders would have his ass dead to rights, which I imagine would be better long term anyways. Even as a private citizen, what he is alluding to would have legal recourse to at the very least relieve Vince of his controlling shares due to malfeasance. |

The greatest event that can come out of this is Swede Savard and Miniak purchasing the WWE and Wrestlemania being held in their backyard. That would single handedly be the greatest moment in the history of our sport. |

WWE has had 'no comment' since Vince released a PR statement independently

His claim is the only way to get the optimal deal is with him negotiating. That makes his entire premise for return in accordance with the shareholders. That said if he isnt the CEO he doesnt have a fiduciary responsibility because *he's not an employee he's a shareholder.*

"Bah Gawd, its Ted Turner with the steel cheque book!!!!" The real two man power trip. First part of that is serious, second is not. I guess also on a serious note as a share holder does he have a fudiciary duty to shareholders? My understanding from the article is hes making that threat as a shareholder where his only duty is to himself. Were the board to cave and reinstate a role for him he would again need to have WWE best interests at heart and hes essentially saying he then would fulfill that role. - Edit - That Dastardly Destor beat me by a minute! |

Yeah they're legally obligated to operate in his financial interests not the otherway around (even though he can absolutely argue he is acting in the companies interests)

It is interesting he makes the case he would be the best person to negotiate the future sale/media rights when the current CEO was selected for the position primarily due to negotiating the largest media rights deal in WWE history.

We can definitely debate the merits of his position. The truth is he wants his baby back and if he cant have it no one can.

You gotta wonder if the company anticipated or expected this move since Vince stepping away was mostly a window dressing/PR move to deal with his negative press
It was clear at the time that he retained these powers so nobody in the company should be surprised I guess we’ll see if there’s any litigation over this. I doubt it. |

Just read that 2 other board members resigned, including the guy heading the internal Vince investigation.

Maybe they were bored members…
I’ll tell you who doesn’t have a bored member though - Vince. He’s probably only keeping Steph on board so he gets one last crack at that incest angle, he’s had everybody else. |

Billionaires tend to know what they are doing. He was probably still involved with the company from a distance.
