Hey guys, I couldn't find the other thread on the first page, but seeing as we now have a sale price of around $9 billion, what are yalls thoughts? Could a sale hurt the company with keeping going, storylines, roster, etc.? Any theories on why it wasn't handed directly down to Stephanie or Shane instead of selling? I have only been on the periphery of the WWE cycle for a minute, and this was pretty crazy to read it was actually a possibility now.

I’m thinking they don’t sell or the family will still be in control somehow.

I haven't actually read the articles yet, was there any evidence for 9 billion? I'm thinking back to when everyone and their dog thought TK paid 40 mill for RoH and I constantly got crapped on for calling it a lie. Turns out, it was a lie.
Ie until it's sold who knows what the price actually is. But, I fully expect a sale, the time makes sense and max value is pretty time sensitive right now.

Haven't seen any proof as of yet, but the rumor was enough to cause stock prices to drop. As is WWE is worth 6.8Billion so the 9B asking price is steep. Part of me wonders if Vince has such a high selling price knowing that it won't be met, and it'll give him time to worm his way back to head of creative and full control.

Knowing Vince, all these billion dollar corporate deals are just smokescreens for him to bury the cruiserweights while eating steak wraps with ketchup tbh.

I mean speculators think they can get 7-8 Billion for it, it’s worth 6 on the stock market. So I mean you say you are looking for 9, so that you get that 7-8.

Always make your asking price high. It's business 101. If someone pays it? Great! If you have to knock off a little bit, you're still getting more than it's worth.

I just hope when they do sale, Vince is actually done and this isn’t a strategic tactic to ultimately get back in control and lead creative once again.

I wonder how the company could keep its image positive while selling to the Saudis.
I guess if the Saudis are super hands-off it could be done.
I just really hope Vince doesn’t return to creative once it’s all said and done.

seen that Sean Ross Sapp or whatever his name is "had a source that was a WWE talent and that the talent claimed Vince was back in creative" so maybe dreams do come true for some. Then again he's as renowned as Meltzer.

Is that a confirmed Vinceism? If so that's the worst thing he's done...

Then again he's as renowned as Meltzer. Apparently the only reason some talent thought McMahon was back in creative was because some segments were changing on Monday, and the Trish stuff. No one saw Vince, nothing. It’s like PTSD over there.

I don't mind this at all. Vince shouldn't either since Dana White recently just shmap-ap-apped his wife in a viral video and has faced zero repercussions. Vince will be untouchable.

There are actually major outlets picking this up unlike the Saudi story so this seems legit.
