Reality Check
Keepin' it 100
Yeah, I don't know Vince personally or nothin, but it's super far fetched to me that he's gonna have the company that his father ran, then he took over and grew into a worldwide company, and is heavily involved in to this day, and has seemingly been grooming his family to take control of... and say 'well let's just sell it to XYZ, whoever the highest bidder'. There's obviously changes being made there like most companies do but if people gonna believe it's being sold because six wrestlers got released today, that's just crazy.
Ignoring the talent cuts, the wrestling and television industries are wildly different today than they were in 1982. Pro wrestling today is essential a tv production with an ensemble cast compared to the 80's when it was a live event company that taped television shows. The upper management changes announced the other day is a low key sign something is up given their backgrounds (one ran Turner Networks, one was an EVP of Content for ESPN, and I think Khan worked for CAA handling talent and media rights). If Vince McMahon is offered $5 billion for the company with Triple H and Stephanie guaranteed jobs running it for Comcast and Vince having some sort of Emeritus position, that's a hard thing to pass up.
