LETS f***ING GO BABY!

I suppose it could be a work, but given how little an on-screen presence he's been on late, it'd be an odd choice, and as obnoxious, awful, and odious a person he is, being a dick about all this without knowing all the shit that could fall on him and the company would not, as they say, be best for business.

He’s finally done it.

I will guess it's legit because it was sent at 4:05pm, after the stock market closes, probably a preplanned tweet with it set to post at that time. Typical Friday news dump heading into the weekend. Feel free to question his tactics or personal actions over the years however he had quite the run in the wrestling business and by hook or crook he built a global empire.

It's legitimate. It's on their corporate website

VINCE MCMAHON RETIRES

STAMFORD, Conn., July 22, 2022 – Vince McMahon today released the following statement: “As I approach 77 years old, I feel it’s time for me to retire as Chairman and CEO of WWE. Throughout the years, it’s been a privilege to help WWE bring you joy, inspire you, thrill you, surprise you, and always

Pretty crazy. Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan named co-CEO's.

I hope Bruce Prichard joins him

Irredeemable creep trying to save face. BOG probably told him to either retire or be ousted.

 

[seafoam]

He's coming back.

Looks like some fallout from Vince's decision.

I know that most here will want to shit on Vince for what he has done. Both currently and in the past. I will take high road here and would like thank him for what he has bring is for all these decades. Like him or not he has made many people very rich and I am sure that many past and present wrestlers would thank him for the opportunities. Under Vince’s ownership he has turned wrestling in North America into a household name.

Congrats on your retirement Vince.

Alvarez is reporting he's gone gone. Gone as CEO, gone as head of creative too..

Steph and Nick Khan will jointly run the show now.

Is it finally Triple H's time to book? He apparently also just replaced Johnny Ace again. Strange timing I'm sure.

 

[GKJ]

Just heard. this is nuts. that’s my initial comment.

Brock supposedly walked out of Smackdown tonight saying "If he is gone, I'm gone"

Steph and Khan are Co-CEOs. I didn't see who was taking up head of creative.

Johnny Ace is also gone with HHH back

He made people rich ruining peoples lives. Go tell Nancy Argentino’s family how great of a guy he is. Or Ashley Massaro’s. The dude was piece of shit.

Anyways, any chance WWE becomes watchable again? I saw they’re doing Brock vs Roman for the 100th time. The optimist in me hopes this means things will change.

Finally. Let's hope Steph has the coconuts to do the opposite of her old man.

 

[CDJ]

Wowwwww in re: Brock

 

[Sheppy]

I know someone who might be happy....

Finally. Let's hope Steph has the coconuts to do the opposite of her old man.

Remains to be see, but for what it's worth... she's apparently really, really well liked. HHH is obviously well liked as well.
