Vince McMahon retires at 77

[BostonBob]

He just couldn't away eh lol. He was never gone

He's like a cockroach - drop a bomb on him and he'll survive. Even this didn't kill him:

I still think Disney is ripe to scoop up WWE. Much like Marvel and Star Wars, the sheer amount of intellectual property, particularly from the 1980s and 1990s, that could continue to be monetized decades into the future, may be too hard to pass up for the right price. They have the distribution and infrastructure necessary to maximize that intellectual property.

Disney don't have the money for major acquisitions right now, what with the 4 billion they lost last fiscal year.

It’s remarkable how much a name means. No matter how bottom of the barrel the product has been for decades now, and how greasy of a creepy old rapist the most powerful man in the company is, it’s still worth a couple gazillion bucks because everyone knows those three little letters.

just hope they sell quick

Just go away already

Now confirmed by himself:

Vince McMahon Announces Intent To Return To WWE And Pursue A Sale - Wrestling Inc.

In a shocking move, former WWE boss Vince McMahon has suddenly mounted a return to power within the company, moving to retake his position as Chairman.

www.wrestlinginc.com

"WWE has an exceptional management team in place, and I do not intend for my return to have any impact on their roles, duties, or responsibilities."

Only a matter of time before he puts a patsy in to run his ideas

 

[Grackle Party]

Cant wait for the succession style drama about this on HBO in 10 years

 

[The Burdened]

I'm howling

 

[Sheppy]

The old **** just can't leave it alone.

Guy is like 109 years old, f*** off, go fishing.

William Regal started back 2 days ago.

And now regrets it

 

[iamjs]

[mrmovies779]

Vince can't stand when his baby doesn't have his fingerprints all over it..his massive ego won't allow it

Inevitable budget cuts on the way.Bye Dakota,Kross,Gargano etc etc...was nice knowing ya lol

 

[mrmovies779]

 

[mrmovies779]

Lol

 

[GKJ]

Just speaks to the mindset that he’s always had, for good reason because it’s always worked, that everything blows over and never remembers. They only remember he retired.

This makes me think he already knows the potential buyers and wants to cash in on that ASAP. The sooner the sale happens, the better. Then he'll really be gone.

lol no he won't.

 

[Transplanted Caper]

Hogan once told Bischoff that even if you put a stake through Vince's heart you weren't going to put him out of business. Thought of that, today.

He's an appalling, odious, bastard. I hope he does watch a mass walkout occur over this.

 

[Jussi]

lol no he won't.

Oh if the sale happens, he's gone. If the company's sold, he's not staying on as the CEO. E.g. Comcast Universal or what ever it's called, buys WWE, they'll install their own CEO. Comparison from another possible purchase, if the Microsoft purchase of Activision Blizzard goes through, Bobby Kotick is gone.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Oh if the sale happens, he's gone.

Yeah I bet.



Sounds like a guy ready to walk into the cornfields. He might sell but he isn't walking away. You can't seriously think he is going to go through the trouble of a hostile takeover of the board and placing himself back as CEO....just to hand it back over right? Please tell me you don't actually think that. He will sell the company and just remain as the CEO of WWE and retain creative control, while someone like Comcast is the parent company.

Read my edited post.

I don't see why Comcast would allow Vince to remain as CEO.
