The Wrestling Thread has much larger nipples

Vince will probably try to save face and try to ask the Rock to buy his company, much like the Rock did in buying his football league.

The Rock can't afford the WWE. Disney, Universal Comcast, Amazon, etc. They are far more likely to buy the company. Which is far more valuable brand then the XFL.

All of those companies will want The Rock involved somehow since he knows the company. Some of those companies already do business with him with his Hollywood stuff.

What does he know about the company? He's never ran it. He's never been a high level guy in the company. HHH and Nick Khan, that's who you're looking at for high level positions. Not the Rock.

Doesn't Vince have a majority stake in the shares, meaning the rest of the board couldn't vote him out anyway?

I don't see Vince going either way. Laurinaitis will probably end up being the fall guy.

Not sure. But Vince has seemingly been looking to cash out. Laurinaitis feels like the guy still around because he knows where the bodies are buried.

If those companies want wrestling back on mainstream, they use the Rock.

Wow, Vince’s chickens are finally coming home to roost. Never thought I’d see the day while he was alive. I was just talking with my friend the other day about how the Rita Chatterton story and Sable’s lawsuit from 1999 would make two good episodes of Dark Side.

And JTG posted this. It was hilarious:

Also, I’m patiently waiting for an expose about Pat Patterson. Moolah wasn’t the only wrestler to pimp out, abuse younger talent, he was just as bad.

Will never understand why they haven’t exposed his “Cream Team” of ring boys and those other accusations against him. He does not deserve a pass.

As promotion. Not to run the company.

Probably because the reason it came up with Moolah, is the WWE decided to promote her for a big WM event. If they hadn't, it would've stayed in the shadows. Like with Patterson, who only comes up with the IC title and how he helped younger guys like the Rock.

Sasha might be gone from the WWE. Only one source at the moment.

A Sasha Banks (Mercedes Varnado) vs Britt Baker feud would be fire!

I would be nice to see Vince finally get his comeuppance for some of the stuff he has done finally. He has been Teflon like his buddy Trump for decades. Vince and Linda have rumoured to of separated years ago and only remain a couple in public for Linda's career purposes.

Ugh.

I'm sure the likely scenario is she's gonna jump to AEW and maybe kill it there if they can strengthen that women's division, which I hope she does.

But damn it WWE. Been a frustrating year to be a Sasha fan. Lowkey kind of hoping the sources are not 100% accurate.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Marvel Studios or WB needs to just sign the woman up for a role and she’ll be alright.

And wow! In only 2 years, Nick Khan singlehandedly ripped the McMahon family from their own company. What a time to be alive.

Has this been confirmed by anyone else? I just went on PWInsider, there's nothing there. I went on other sites too, they haven't said anything.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I don't think Vince is getting away from this one. WWE is a publicly traded company right now, and these allegations hit right at the heart of fiduciary duty, alongside shareholders and other board members who have been motivated to take out the McMahon influence and sell the company to a giant media organization for a while.

 

[obredaan]

So we're one step closer to "The Chosen One" Jeff Jarrett taking over the WWE. If Vince is forced out and both Shane/Steph are gone who else could run the company?

Whoever buys it will need two people: a public face and a behind the scenes face. I can see the new owners wanting the public face either being the Rock or John Cena, who no doubt will be asked about it if Vince is forced out and WWE is sold. I kind of wonder if the new owners would make Triple H the head of creative?

Pro Wrestling is just a new toy that gets played with for a bit until it breaks quickly, under a huge parent company. Because it's "just pro wrestling".

 

[Dr. Evil]

John Cena returns on June 27th. So if changes are made by then, is he going to address it?

I don't think it will move that quickly.
