The Evil Genius Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I'm guessing Steph resigned because women aren't allowed power in Saudi Arabia regimes? I feel bad for the women's division, all the lgbt+ wrestlers, and people like Sami Zayn (who I think refused to wrestle there when the WWE went over). Maybe AEW and their stupid factions for everyone will be a safer place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe AEW and their stupid factions for everyone will be a safer place. I like the AEW teams and factions better than WWE. What the hell is Judgement Day? When Edge was in charge, yeah. Then they boot him and give two guys who can't work the mic along with Mysterio's kid with Ripley the thing? That's a train wreck. They should have kept Edge, added Ripley and Shotzy to be a tag team since they are both goth/horror. There are so many wrestlers and not enough matches with the stupid "talk shows". Back when you had DX and the Nation. If only one guy had a match, they'd all be out there for TV time. The original poster of a sale has deleted their tweet, FYI.

Look for me on Pea**** TV. The first hour and a half was fun. Lots of positive energy from the crowd. It's funny the things that bring people together sometimes... like a bunch of dudes rolling around in their underwear to fake win a piece of tin. Crowd sort of died down for the rest of the night. Probably was unwise to open with the men's Rumble. I haven't been keeping up with wrestling the last few years and didn't know hardly any of the female wrestlers but I was proud of myself for picking the winner of the women's Rumble about 15 minutes into the match. I should have been a talent scout for WWE. Edited January 29, 2023 by Sacks 'n' Stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK Posted April 1, 2023 Author Share Posted April 1, 2023 Nigel McGuinness rejoined ROH at the announce booth with Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman for Supercard Of Honor. Riccaboni & Coleman were already the best announce team in the business & Nigel enhanced what they were doing instead of detracting from it. Also just saw there's a report going around that TK(not me, the cocaine fueled one with the bad hair cut) was bringing Punk back to AEW but that was before Punk's Instagram post. So... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share Posted April 2, 2023 https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/02/wwe-ufc-endeavor-deal.html WWE near deal to be sold to UFC parent Endeavor, sources say KEY POINTS Vince McMahon’s World Wrestling Entertainment is in advanced talks to be sold to Ari Emanuel’s Endeavor Group, the parent of UFC. The deal would combine UFC and WWE into one publicly traded company. WWE has spent the past several months looking for a buyer. Vince McMahon’s World Wrestling Entertainment is in advanced talks to be sold to Ari Emanuel’s Endeavor Group, the parent company of UFC, according to people familiar with the matter. A deal could be announced as soon as Monday. UFC and WWE are expected to form a new publicly traded company as part of the agreement, according to the people, who declined to be named due to the confidential nature of the discussions. Endeavor is slated to own 51% of the new combat sports and entertainment company, while WWE shareholders would get 49%, according to the people. The Endeavor deal gives WWE an enterprise value of $9.3 billion, they said. Emanuel is expected to act as chief executive of both Endeavor and the new company. McMahon, likewise, is expected to be executive chairman, while Endeavor President Mark Shapiro will also work in the same role at the new company. Dana White will remain as president of UFC, while WWE CEO Nick Khan will serve as president of the wrestling business. The development comes during the same weekend WWE hosts its flagship live event, WrestleMania, in California. The company has spent the past several months looking for a buyer. McMahon returned to the company as chairman in January to oversee the process. Shares of WWE are up more than 33% so far this year, giving it a market value of more than $6.79 billion. The deal will effectively end WWE’s decades-old status as a family-run business. McMahon’s father founded WWE in its original incarnation during the middle of the 20th century, and McMahon is the controlling shareholder in the company. McMahon bought the company from his father in 1982. Since then, the company has grown into a global phenomenon, spawing stars suck as Hulk Hogan, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Dave Bautista and John Cena. McMahon, 77, retired from the company in July following a string of revelations that he paid several women millions of dollars over the years to keep them quiet about alleged affairs and misconduct. His daughter, Stephanie McMahon, became co-CEO alongside Khan. Paul Levesque, who’s both Stephanie McMahon’s husband and the wrestler known as Triple H, took over creative duties from Vince McMahon. When Vince McMahon came back in January, Stephanie McMahon stepped down and Khan fully assumed the CEO role. The elder McMahon recently locked in a two-year employment contract, according to a securities filing. Khan in recent weeks has been making the media rounds to discuss the potential sale. He told CNBC’s Morgan Brennan on Thursday that it’s been a robust sale process, drawing many interested buyers. WWE brings with it a robust media and live events business, along with its decades worth of intellectual property. The company generated $1.29 billion in revenue last year, driven mainly by its $1 billion media unit. UFC has paid off for Endeavor. Last year, the MMA league helped Endeavor’s sports business make $1.3 billion in revenue. Endeavor’s market cap stood at about $10.53 billion as of Friday’s close. The Endeavor-WWE deal values UFC at more than $12 billion. WWE, at least at a glance, would also fit well with the cultures at Endeavor and UFC. McMahon has a brash public persona, making him an apparently good match for Emanuel and White, who are also known for their outsized personalities. White, like McMahon, is no stranger to scandal, either. Earlier this year, video emerged showing the UFC boss slapping his wife during a public argument at a New Year’s Eve party in Mexico. White apologized. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spjunkies Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) I can't see the WWE making it to 2030 with this new ownership, we will likely see a fate similar to wCw after Time Warner big wigs got control of the company from Turner. At least Vince feels like he got his control back and his pockets stuffed. He'll likely be given the boot in 2 years or so.

Give me 1 night LOADED with all the best stuff. as far as the sale. Whatever. we'll see what happens. I still like AEW better for a lot of stuff right now. WWE needs a hard reset. Look at the regular bits they've done for years and decades, and really retire some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
