It's a very significant day. How do you think the merger is going to affect WWE? Or do you think all of the major changes have already happened?

I don't think it will change very much besides some guys in the office being let go. WWE's business is doing extremely well right now, so why would you want to change it?

I think Vince is going to be in for the shock of his life when he starts getting told "No" on a regular basis. "No" is a word Vince probably hasn't heard in 40 years.

There's going to be massive changes and ramifications. Vince is WWE. Without him having full power, it's going to be something else.

I'm definitely concerned about the future of wrestling. The guys who share the power now are not wrestling guys and wrestling is a bizarre business. If WWE has a down period, will they keep it running? Nobody knows. With Vince, you knew this was his life and there was no way he was ever getting out of the business.Can't say that about the new owners.

I'm not concerned. You don't have to understand wrestling to see that ratings are up, ticket sales are up, and fans are generally really happy with Paul running creative. If I was in charge of the company I'd tell him to just keep up the good work.

Are people forgetting that June Smackdown he came back in and changed the show and storylines that night?
He knows he can take back control at any time, he's just waiting for the deal to happen

Their profits would be a lot less impressive if the Saudi's weren't carelessly throwing cash around. Not that it's solely responsible for keeping the WWE out of the red but their tendency to waste billions of dollars has benefited the WWE greatly.

That Saudi deal might not be around much longer. KSA owns a minority stake in PFL now and if they pay WWE they're directly funding their competitor.
Contract is still for a few years though, but maybe they could get out of it because you could argue conflict of interest.

Were talking about why the WWE was making record profits while the product was shit. It's because the Saudi's were significantly overpaying for the shows because they just throw money at anything they want even if it's a waste.

That's true. It really was a truly awful era aside from the Bloodline and RK-Bro. I think Endeavor is probably pretty happy that there's genuine excitement about the product now, and that even house shows are selling a lot of tickets. That why I don't think they're going to want anything to change. Nothing seems broke, so there's nothing for them to try to fix.

They are going to butt heads at some point in time and someone's going to get what they want and someone won't get what they want. Endeavor has 51%, so they will likely be the ones who get what they want.
