I'm never going to see the place ran the way I'd like to see it, so I guess it doesn't matter in the end.

Vince will never sell the WWE.
Just saw Vince on the HHH 25th anniversary special.
Holy shyt he looks old and feeble these days. Cornette said it best. He seems like one of those drunk rambling uncles at this point.
Almost sad to see Vince looking and acting like an old man.

Actually, now that I think of it, this is another major reason this won't happen.
In addition to the high cost of acquisition in a time when all companies are looking to minimize operating costs and overall expenditures, the labor situation makes it impossible, because it's a no win situation.
If they maintain the 'independant contractors" angle, they get lit up for maintaining a shytty status quo. If they decide to make them all employees, they're taking on considerable extra costs with providing appropriate insurance for their new employees (because the standard shyt that regular people like us definitely isn't going to be offered), and open themselves up to all kinds of liability. I don't think stockholders have ever held an actual revolt, but they'd come real close.
The final barrier would be what to do with the TV deals. Even from Fox's standpoint, they'd be directly producing content for competition. This happens more often than you'd think in the broadcast TV space (but still not often), but usually because it's mutually beneficial, and the production company gets the syndication rights. Neither company is about to get into what will become a complicated rights situation when both are about to throw as much money as they possibly can at the NFL in the next few years (especially Disney. Someone over there realized that their attempt in the early 2000s to force as many sports as they could off of broadcast and onto cable wasn't the best move).
Back in the day I would have been concerned but I'm at the point now of can it get any worse? Maybe it needs something fresh, as long as they keep the network so can see the old shyt.

This.
ESPN is bleeding cash and kinda hard for them to turn to Disney since they themselves are feeling the corona crunch. just wonder how much sense this makes for them outside of owning a “league”.
But when sports finally comes back, how consistent can’t the be with having a Monday/Thursday show coming on when baseball or football traditionally hold certain coveted time slots.
for some reason
