It would be funny if they did go "well we don't need Kevin Dunn around now"

Or if they went "Kevin Dunn can produce both WWE and UFC shows"

Now I'm picturing a WWE-under-Endeavor company doctor telling HHH "you're medically cleared to compete, it's fine" even as he's laying there groaning in pain as his defibrillator is going off in his chest

Never seen a corporate merger before? It’s basically battle royale.

Sure, but Vince hasn't really been functionally out of power at least since the board brought him back. If he wanted to get ride of HHH couldn't he have done it at any time?

There was a clause in the contract that during the close of the sale they couldn’t eliminate anyone making over $500k or something like that, presumably because they might be important enough to be of interest to Endeavor post merger to decide whether they should stay on or not.

But no, generally if you’re selling a company you try to make it stable and appealing while you’re trying to find a buyer and as mentioned there is a desire for stability during the close too. The big bloodbath almost always happens after the close of the sale.

If you’re selling the company once you have an offer on the table and agreed in principle you leave it the gently caress alone and do nothing that could jeopardise the sale.

Once the sale goes through the axe starts swinging.

Not that HHH is the savior of WWE or anything, but he clearly has a different vision for what WWE could be than Vince does and HHH's vision is way better than Vince's in general. About to be back to business as usual, baby!

I mean judging by who was hired back when Vince was gone, I think so. And the way NXT was run under HHH compared to others. He’s obviously not perfect but I think it’s disingenuous to say he’s not better and different than Vince from a booking standpoint.

After the incident at JFK Airport on Saturday, PWInsider.com can confirm that Matt Riddle is not at tonight's Monday Night Raw taping.

WWE sources have also stated that as of this writing, he is no longer expected to work this weekend's live events in Idaho and Washington, which Riddle had been booked on.

I do agree but I think keeping people out of spite isn’t going to be as palatable to the Endeavor side. It’s one thing to keep a fighter under contract who is paid per appearance so it doesn’t cost anything but paying some guy six figures to show up and eat catering every week out of spite doesn’t sound like something Endeavor would be enthusiastic about
