Vince was actually right on this one. Buying competition makes sense but it actually would've NEUTRALIZED theirn audience where ufc legitimacy gets questioned, and wwe audience won't have the story's and entertainment theyre used to with ufc...

Wwe is more successful than ufc...they pay their talent more across the board, by a huge margin.

Shane was ahead of his time plenty of times. Vince was a loser carny, Shane wasn't.

More successful because they pay talent more, which they have a lot less of?

I'm not sure. The value for wwe is 1.2 billy. UFC is privately owned, so there's no market figure for it, but sources suggest it would be valued at more than what the E is. (Dana suggests it could be as high as 3 billy, but he could be exaggerating obviously)
