All-Purpose News Thread Part II

I bet it’s the Saudi’s

Regal has been back on the job for one week.

Yep. Guy probably feels so depleted right now.

I bet it’s the Saudi’s

god hope not they will ruin wwe if its them

 

[Jussi]

Could those charges against Vince finally be amounting to an actual criminal case?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Well this was expected to be part of that process, wasn't it?

No?


Saudi's gonna buy it and take it private again and Vince will never leave. It is well past time to open your eyes Jussi.

“We want Andre The Giant to be #30 at the Rumble for sure, but we want to kick it off with Rick Rude and Mr Perfect”

 

[The Burdened]

Howling at William Regal.

[Jussi]

Wasn't using company money to pay off accusers against the law or something and considered almost a slam dunk?

He isn't getting charged. If he was he wouldn't have taken his company back 5 days ago. He is only doing this because the entire thing blew over way quicker then anyone thought it would.

 

[CDJ]

I’d say I can’t believe it but like I said the other day

It’s f***ing disgraceful that if you have money then nothing matters.

DIE VINCE DIE. Hope those chants start up

Even if they do, he will get that fat red f*** and the beaver twat to drown them out and pipe in “thank you Vince”

Sure, in theory the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund could purchase WWE however what would the advertisers and networks think about that? That could domino all the way to WWE having to utilize their own streaming service to air live wrestling including the weekly shows that currently air on USA and FOX. Yes, they have two live shows per year, yes, that fund has invested in numerous companies however there is a difference between being a minority shareholder and owning the entire company.

...edit...there is speculation that maybe Saudi's buy the public portion of the company while Vince retains his share of a now private company. I don't know. There is no reason for VKM to be involved until he's dead however he's a big enough egomaniac to believe otherwise.

If major WWE news was imminent it could be HHH leaving in solidarity with Stephanie which would be crazy. Difficult to imagine they already have a deal in place unless Vince had a verbal arrangement prior to rejoining the board however that wouldn't make sense with WWE supposedly hiring JPM or whomever the bank was to assist in the search process.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I wonder if Steph was against doing a sale right now.

It's really bad timing for a sale right now, last summer was the time. Vince is an idiot and they might get ripped off

 

[Apex Predator]

Was thinking the same

If they really want to push this AEW and WWE rivalry signing them both would push this to another level. I do think Hunter would do a really good job booking with the talent they have.

This is literal silly talk. Neither side would be willing to do that.

If it's the Saudis, they are gonna overpay through the nose just because they want the world to know they can

 

[Emperoreddy]

 

[Megahab]

I don't know who this guy is or how credible he is but he is saying he told that the Saudis have bought the company and are taking it private.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Honestly they might be the only buyers willing to do that right now and they are ridiculous enough to bid against themselves.

 

[Emperoreddy]

It's like the trade deadline. No names jumping over themselves to say they got the scoop

 

[Apex Predator]

It’s a message board!! Lots of time for silly talk.

I think actual trades confirmed the JP Morgan hiring to vetting the buyers.

 

[Emperoreddy]

It seems kind of insane to me a deal could have come together and been closed this quickly when you look at all the money involved.
