This is a sad day for the future of wrestling.

1st of all, Smackdown was live as hell on FOX. It just had a different vibe than USA Network.

2nd,pushing Vince out is not good either. At his worst, he at least understands booking and character building. Now you're going to have ppl in charge who don't know wrestling and it's fans.

3rd, if tony khan doesn't take major advantage of this, he's the worst ever. You got exec leaders of wwe now who can put that sauce in aew.

Vince screwed the fans. No, the fans screwed the fans. :mjcry:

Yeah I feel like Smackdown could have cooked on actual NBC. But for it to be the only property on USA is concerning. Also don't like the idea of RAW/NXT moving to something like Prime. Be cool if they get on like FX or something but Disney ain't trying to spend money.

Vince sold the Company - at some point he'd get pushed out anyway. Might as well jump out now while the money's peaking. I don't think Endeavor is just going to give the E to some suit like Turner did with WCW for much of it's run. They've left Dana in control of the UFC forever and he's got competent less abrasive people that work and could easily promote UFC.

TK already needs help with his booking/running of AEW. Trying to do something just to do something on the tails of a WWE talent purge is stupid. Also lets see what kind of he deals he gets from the TNT/TBS parent. Especially since they seemingly want to put live sports content on MAX. He should really push to get an AEW hub on Max so that they can put the reruns, the net shows, ROH etc there.

Without Vince or HHH and the usual cast, by the end of next year wwe will be struggling. Maybe not financially(but that will come) , but creatively it will be hard to watch. They'll be relying on trying to have ufc guys making guest appearances.

Just watch.... This is going to be bad.

You can't have people in charge who don't know or understand wrestling.

For how long though? Whose to say that Endeavor wouldn't want to bring in their own people?

If people thought that Vince and company didn't care about wrestling history and lore, then wait until they see their replacement.
Endeavor bought the UFC. The Fertitta's left

Dana is as locked as he's ever going to be.

They aren't going to Ted Turner hand the Key's to the Pizza Man

Well when this deal happened, they were saying he was going to be pushed out. Especially since Vince was kept on by Emmanuel.

Did something change? I haven't followed since then

I never said that they were going to hand the keys to Dana assuming that's who the Pizza Man is. Endeavor can hand the reigns to whoever they want.

New regimes like to bring in their own people and make their own changes, which we're already starting to see now. For that reason, HHH isn't safe. HHH doesn't have the power and backing anymore if anyone tries to force his hand.
