I mean this is Vince saying to his family,  you this is mine and I’m selling it for money - you want it you pay me for it. In a way there’s something to be said about that which is positive, do it on your own like I did etc, but it does suck hard for everyone who isn’t Vince or those buying it. but he didn’t do it on his own. his father sold him the company and allowed him to repay over time… |

Of course everyone jumps on this story as it was true and a done deal and now it's not. lol
And every single one of you would sell everything you have to the Saudis if they knocked on your door with a case full of money. If you say you wouldn't, you are a liar! LOL!!!!

WWE isn't going to sell until they find a buyer that'll both not tank the stock price/kill their partnerships (AKA not The Saudis) and will keep Vince in power despite all the allegations (AKA not a goddamn soul).

Not going to buy into anything until an official announcement is made. No reason to overreact just because certain people say their sources say something.

The guy in charge sexually assaults employees and the company itself is fueled in large part by Saudi Arabia blood money. Nothing's changed yet. A large acquisition like this takes time so let's see how this damages WWE's advertisers and television partners. I think it's very likely FOX won't renew now. Why would FOX care? The Neocon foreign policy establishment has had Saudi-Israeli lobbying interests figured prominently for decades. The American Right takes money from the Saudis and the United Arab Emirates. The Samantha Powers faction of the left takes lobbying money from Qatar. Both wings do take money, but one skews more than the other. Saudis aren't a faux pas for the US. I think that's nothing more than a populist sentiment because, in practice, the rivaling elites don't care about all of that. Israel and Saudi Arabia back Wahabbists to destabilize the Shi'a interests of the Middle East (Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and Houthi factions out of Yemen) Note that the US never bothered to investigate 9/11 when evidence was compelling that two of the hijackers were known to be on American soil, that it was known to CIA spooks of the Alec Station (and higher ups), and that Saudi Intel was directly involved in an illegal recruitment operation. Watchdogs Didn't Bark covers this very well. To this day, the truth has never come out, and the CIA clowns all got promoted despite thousands who died from one of the greatest intel botches in American history, especially since they were covering up the presence of the Saudis from the FBI and John O'Neill's faction. Even Michael Scheuer went before Congress to testify that the only good thing to come out of 9/11 is that O'Neill got killed. Think about that My view is that administrations sit on a lot of this information to extort the Saudis for increased oil production when needed. The Biden Administration released some, but hardly all, documents as it pertained to 9/11 to pressure the Saudis to do just that FOX isn't one bit bothered by WWE ties to the Saudis. It's a line they'll give minimally to their rubes to make them think that they're against them. The Khashoggi murderers were more covered by the Washington Post, which is the Wrestling Observer for the intel establishment, just as the NYT is for the intelligentsia, and the WSJ is for merchant interests Read my other post about FOX in this thread. Not gonna copy and paste, but FOX isn't 100% happy with WWE right now BEFORE this sale report  |

Not everyone is motivated solely by the almighty dollar. |

Smackdown ratings have been low for years. It's often the highest rated program of the night. I don't doubt some factions are unhappy. But it's all factions either way. I just don't think any ties to Saudi Arabia will have them flustered either way. Need to get back to work |

I guess we'll know if the Saudis bought the company if Mansoor wins the Rumble. |

If FOX isn’t happy about WWE’s ratings I wonder how they’d feel about the other US promotions.
Over 2 mil on Fridays is the biggest audience in wrestling by a pretty good margin.

Can’t call yourself a true wrestling fan if you don’t even shriekingly overreact to anything to do with WWE. I bet you don’t even vote in the WON awards or tweet death threats to the McMahons! Wrestling fan? I’m a sport entertainment enthusiast. |

Read that a class action lawsuit has been filed against McMahon. Here’s what was stated.
“A class action lawsuit has been filed against Vince McMahon
A shareholder is suing McMahon in Delaware accusing him of welding his 81% voting control to impose his will on WWE illegally. The lawsuit argues that McMahon’s threat to withhold approval for WWE's future media rights deals was a move to take complete personal control over any major corporate decision, thereby violating Delaware Law”
Man, what a headache it would be to be within the inner workings of WWE right now 🤦🏻♂️.

Vince worked himself into a shoot long ago and instead of playing it out on screen, the old bastard clotheslined a guy a buncha times. Less than a year later we got this madness. All behind the scenes.
