Nothings gonna change because Vince is back. Now he's back specifically to change everything, and it's all going to change, but nothing will change.

I don't totally disagree with you, but I think one thing you need to remember is that nothing will change. Everything won't change, some things might change, but ultimately nothing will change.

If the WO report is true HHH and Vince aren't talking so he's already lying. Unless we think Nick is passing notes back and forth about who goes over in the 3rd hour of Raw.

Six months ago the line from WWE and the co-opted media was that Vince was the booking genius who was the only person capable of running WWE, now Papa H has to reassure the locker room that the senile batty old coot who can’t remember their names won’t be coming back to ruin their careers lol

It’s the basic reason I stand by the opinion no major corporation is ever gonna buy WWE. It’s a year long circus of labor violations that you’d have to get insurance for. Lawyers would laugh their way out of the board room.

He defers creative decisions to HHH; it just so happens that HHH always agrees 100% of the time with Vince's ideas and suggestions :v:

I think the reality of the situation is there's no good buyers for WWE. Either you have a monopoly, a Saudi Propaganda company or another meaningless acquisition by a corporate megalith who will just defer everything to Vince and not give a poo poo about the product itself otherwise.

So long as the 'Saudi Propaganda Company' is avoided we avoid the worst-case scenario. Which is exactly why it will happen.

She conjures lovely CGI killer bees to attack her opponents and makes all the phones in the arena ring at the same time.

It is interesting that however many years ago, Shad Khan was like “I guess you can have the budget for your AEW thing, you kids are just going to waste my money after I’m dead anyway” and now he apparently is down with trying to buy WWE. Tony really sold him on this wrestling thing.

I like to think Shad was sold at the first Fyte For The Fallen show, when he came in the ring to present the charity check, and Cody introduced him to the crowd, and the crowd cheered. He got this huge smile on his face that said "OK, I get this."
