Goldmined the minute after I posted it the first time, so I'll post it again here

So if they're merging to form a new company and it's not an actual sale/asset purchase, doesn't that mean all contracts would have to be renegotiated under the new name? (Unless there's language in the contracts that it automatically transfers...)

Now, does WWE lean into it at this point? Have Cody bring a rubber chicken to the ring and start talking to it?

No because it would be something getting over organically

If any of you listen to the Behind the Bastards podcast, they are working on an episode about Vince.

Probably nothing we have not heard of before but the delivery and the response from someone who has never heard it before will be worth it.

Someone send him the New York 64

Also this (I don't have Twitter) because while Robert is familiar with pro wrestling, there's SO MUCH about Vince that doesn't get talked about that's incredibly heinous. And the 64 is a good spot to see it all laid out.

I'm not clicking this dude's link, but I assume this is all based on Dave and Bryan's speculation on WOR last night?

MJeff posted:

It's basically just "They're doing Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, the gimmick at Night of Champions is every championship gets defended, Sami isn't allowed in Saudi Arabia, Kevin refuses to go, so they might lose the titles before that show." No mention of Bryan or Dave.

Got it. That was exactly what Dave and Bryan were talking about on WOR. But it's such an obvious issue that making the same points is most likely coincidence.

Wonder if HHH actually had to ask permission from Vince to talk to Punk, or if he just used that as excuse to not have to talk to Punk and knew it'd sound believable because Vince is an insane control freak

Lmao this is probably right because it totally fits HHH's passive aggressive MO.

Either that or "the big guy" he called was Kevin Nash again :v:

FTR bald talked on his podcast about how Punk is a good dude because he bought the AEW women's locker room Starbucks gift cards and all the guys in the Pinnacle Starbucks cards. The Pinnacle ones were 500 each. It's a really goofy story but I guess a nice thing to do. Kind of try hard.
