What ever happens selling the WWE to NBC or Disney will change the creative process and how far that company will allow creative to go with storylines etc. The WWE will stay PG but could go to G if Disney decides to buy the company.

Disney owns It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia among many other TV-MA and rated R properties. It’s not going to change creative or the nature of the content.

Let's hope so for the fans who still watch the product.
Out of interest how can a company be sold if it's owned by different shareholders?
If he holds the majority of the shares, which I think he still does, he could at the very least sell his shares to someone else, then that person would now hold the majority of the shares and technically be in charge. Also, didn't he get rid of most of the board, now it's just 3 people?
He got rid of two, then the one that lead the investigation quit. The board is Vince, Michelle Wilson, George Barrios, Stephanie, HhH, Nick Khan and someone else I cant remember.

That was always one of the biggest issues with WCW; other than Ted Turner, all the other people at Time Warner/Turner Broadcasting didn't care for WCW or Wrestling and didn't know how to run a wrestling company. I could see a similar situation happening if NBC or Disney purchases the company. They'll put their businesspeople in charge to run the company, but they won't be wrestling people, so the company will suffer. They'll hire people in wrestling to help run the company, much like WCW did, but they won't have too much say and will have to answer to people who don't care about the wrestling side of the business. Might not be the best thing for WWE in the end.
The other issue I could see, if NBC or Disney, or any other company purchases WWE, would they even care if wrestling continued? It seems like they are probably more interested in WWE's tape library that they can put on their streaming services. They may purchase WWE, and they may try to keep it going, but if it starts to fail and cost the parent company money - much like WCW did to Time Warner, they might cut their losses and quit producing active/live wrestling.

That's very true but I could see clauses in the contract for any potential buyer.

Yup. One of the many ridiculous misconceptions about Disney. They've owned R rated studios for decades & continue to produce R rated materials DAILY.
I don't see what sense there'd be for disney to buy the company.
WWE would sell for what? Somewhere in the range of 5 billion?
That's more than disney spent on lucasarts and marvel. And it wouldn't jive with their business model. You can't really do WWE rides or have jabronis dress as Stone Cold and John Cena walking around the parks to greet the kids.
But if you want to play devil's advocate and say disney buys WWE, if you think what Vince has done creatively is bad just wait until the same company that completely decimated Star Wars would do.

On the surface you are right, but at this point there is a race with all this companies to own property and make money. Like Disney bought the Muppets and have essentially done Jack with the property other than just making merchandise.

Merchandise and video libraries. Exclusive rights to money, really.

If this goes as I’m expecting it to, I’m done.
Unless it’s legit Stephanie just taking the position because Vince was gone and now that Vince has returned, she would rather be home. As long as Hunter is in control of Creative, everything should be fine.

I just ordered like 20 huge 10+ volume each DVD-Rs of different wrestlers and what not. I think that and classic stuff might be how I get my fix…if he doesn’t end up butchering the network next and taking classic stuff off…which I wouldn’t put it past that bunghole to do,
