Didn't they pass on one of the Anoa'i kids? The one that is in MLW, IIRC.

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Jacob Fatu is actually really good but has a criminal record for armed robbery so they won’t sign him. There may be more going on because that seems like a weird excuse though.

It's not that kind of test.

Camacho Dos and Camacho Grande.

I'd miss Tama but Hikuleo still isn't doing much for me. They should give Jado the GoD theme permanently as that might be the biggest loss in all of this.

I mean, I suppose it could potentially impact the possibility of doing some of their overseas tours, but they've signed guys who's done time in the past, like MVP and Booker T.

Wild that the company owned by the guy whose re-taking power despite numerous constant sexual assault allegations is like "It'd be morally wrong of us to hire a person who stole something"

He's good. Very athletic, he'd be above average as far as the WWE roster goes. I assume the criminal record is the only reason he's never had some Japan tours

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
I guess I kinda want Paramount? I'd like for their subscription service to live long enough for some of the new Avatar the Last Airbender projects to actually come out in a few years, and having the WWE backlog's a better safety net i guess.

A company that glorified murderers, covered up child molestation, killed one of its own through negligence and covered up its owner and other executives sexual misconduct for so many years deserves to be owned by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia so its fans can twist themselves into a tighter knot to justify watching it.

What makes this even more crazy is Vince was originally going to fire Titus until HHH talked him down and told him that firing Titus (one of their best guys in terms of good publicity and charity work) during Black History Month wouldn't be a good look.

Give me Sanshiro Takagi controlled WWE.

Otherwise the Saudis are the funniest option for the reasons MRT outlined.

There are wrestling promotions who put on good shows, which I'm pretty sure what's being referred to, rather than a moral judgement.

Vince McMahon is a Rapist and sexual assaulter who has used money and influence to make his crimes go away.

Anything that brings him further success and or notoriety is bad.

All else is frippery and extraneous.

Absolutely.
Who buys WWE is secondary in importance to if they figure out a way to kick him to the curb once the sale is done.
