Vince McMahon retires at 77

[keonsbitterness]

Thank you Mr. McMahon. In my opinion, the greatest of all time. And surely on everyone's Mount Rushmore.

For sure! I would definitely volunteer to push him off Mount Rushmore.

The real original Bro thinks Vince's retirement is a farce


I would probably lean towards the same feelings if the SEC and legit government investigations weren't happening, and this was all still just mostly a PR issue

Ex-WWE Writer Calls Vince McMahon’s Retirement 'A Farce'

Vince McMahon made headlines last month after he secretly paid $3 million as a settlement to a departing employee. Because of this, McMahon

www.ringsidenews.com

Also the WWE corporate website posted about Vince's retirement.

There would be serious penalties if they were to knowingly post false information such as that.

You can't report false information that could potentially influence the stock of a publicly-traded company. It is illegal.

 

[Live in the Now]

Fightful claiming Vince has forfeited his stock in the company with the retirement, which means he really is gone gone, and there won't be any hurdles to a sale if that is where they go (and why not? They will get a lot in a sale)

He forfeited a few shares

He still owns 28 million+ shares.

You had to figure Russo would be in the news in some fashion given how big this news was. Guy just can't help himself, bro.

@mj2sexay Moxley wanting to be Onita is why I dont like him. Shits annoying.

At least bring Onita to AEW. Should have been in his corner for the “exploding ring”

They literally did bring Onita in. Pretty sure Covid prevented him from attending so all there was was a prerecorded video

One of the best characters in wrestling history….

Danielson steered very clear from saying anything bad about Vince when asked about the allegations.

End of the day a lot of people in the business are going to continue to respect Vince

And no need to burn bridges when his wife still has a working relationship with WWE from time to time

And your step-father-in-law is part of the alleged problem.

Wonder who they plan to sell to. Would guess NBCUniversal makes the most sense

WME is a darkhorse, they were the ones who bought UFC.

Someone's going to be happy!

As long as he stays off tv and sells off quickly, then I'm fine with this.

I still think Disney is ripe to scoop up WWE. Much like Marvel and Star Wars, the sheer amount of intellectual property, particularly from the 1980s and 1990s, that could continue to be monetized decades into the future, may be too hard to pass up for the right price. They have the distribution and infrastructure necessary to maximize that intellectual property.

Maybe Amazon is a dark horse too with their push into live sports.

Any big content producing company with media outlets, really.

NBCUniversal, WarnerMedia, Disney
, Amazon, Apple ... heck, maybe even DAZN.

Warner seems to focused on cutting costs to take a run at this IMO
