Hope they run a tribute to 9/11 and then an ad for their next Saudi show right after on Raw. That would be so Vince.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=iddAsGbJ5iM&feature=shared Honestly, not sure if a poo poo show will happen or not. But, this is Vince we're talking about here. Maybe him not being on top might make him go crazy.

He's specifically chosen by ari emanuel to continue running the wwe side with basically no oversight, nothing functionally is going to change.

Joey McChrist posted:what's paul hunter doing in the impact zone? It's the return of Terra Ryzing I'll try to find out what happens at Titan Towers tomorrow if the culling starts day 1. Supposedly my sister's job is safe (helps when she's one of the last people in the old building so her boss has said) but color me highly skeptical that Endeavor doesn't have a well oiled machine for marketing.

Yeah seems like the main changes will be culling office staff and no longer having to pretend like Paul Triple H is running the show. I would bet most of his rehires will be spite fired like Samoa Joe was

There will be roster culls because a lot of the roster is still kept on a "we can't let The Enemy have them" basis. There will be a lot of numbers crunching.

WWE solemnly remembers the second worst day in American history, the first being the the time Vince McMahon was put on trial for steroid distribution of course.

Tried to betray Vince when Vince returned, is sitting in the seat of Vince’s favorite job, is probably the reason Vince had to step down in the first place, NXT was totally overhauled and they literally smashed the old logo on TV while HHH was in the hospital, Vince fired all of his friends. The only reason he probably isn’t already gone is because things are supposed to be kept stable during a sale.

for real though they probably won't touch anything in wwe. it's not the same thing as like a mid-2000s merger between telecoms or something where they need to consolidate. unless they mistakenly believe ufc and wwe are the same sort of product which is too much to hope for

Most of that will probably be back office, you don’t need two accounting departments, but when they look at what they’re paying people to job on house shows to Omos, there most certainly will be talent cuts to hit those numbers.

Yeah I can’t really think of too many lucrative pickups, especially of HHH’s rehires. The most desirable are locked down and will probably stay that way. Maaaaaybe AJ Styles or Finn but those don’t seem likely. Impact and the indies will get another influx of talent tho
