Even before the sale there were rumors he was going to get an 8 figure bonus for brokering the sale, but didn't think it was going to be "fukk those marks and their tears" money.

Carolina hail to thee....
Dunn always owned a lot of stock since he’s been one of Vince’s right hand men for 40 years…How is Dunn getting that much
He’s like an executive producer of all content right? Between tenure and having a hand in everything, I guess the bag is justifiedHow is Dunn getting that much

With this and the TV rights up next year, I'm curious what the direction WWE will be in. Will it be business as usual or will things actually change?

I'm sure the Stooge World Order will have a logical and reasonable defense of this.

Anyone who works solely at the Stamford office might want to start working on their resume. They probably won’t touch the wrestlers, writers and road agents but everyone else is redundant.

I'm sure they'll cut some wrestlers.
I could see them telling WWE if the NXT ratings continue to start promoting more NXT wrestlers (who will surely get cheaper contracts than main roster veterans) while cutting some of the more expensive main roster talent that they have around just for depth. Especially if those that are just for depth are old with no potential.

The success of the UFC is mostly predicated on them being the biggest show in town. The gap between UFC and Bellator or PFL is larger than the gap between WWE and AEW or TNA.
Another large part of their success is that they don't pay the fighters shyt. Sure, the guys at the top can make good money but that's dependent on a number of factors the UFC can control. I think UFC had over a bill in revenue last year and less than 15 percent went to fighter pay.
I don't know enough about WWE salary structure. But if they try to slash salaries to appear even more profitable I wonder if we get another influx of WWE folks in AEW. Generally, I don't think people that pretend to fight should be paid more than people actually fighting. But then you consider the fact that wrestlers are probably working way more dates, selling way more merchandise, etc. It's a complicated situation.
Do we think Dustin Poirier makes more than Seth Rollins? Should he? (obviously, I say yes because Seth sucks but you get the idea).
