You never tell me the good stuff. This car sucks and it smells and I want to go home. You’ll get deep analysis of wrestling statistics and you’ll call it ice cream. I want a pizza and a soda and a pizza!

No mention of a succession plan? Does Vince intend to take WWE out with him? Lapsed Vince: Listen, I built this motherf***er. And I can and will take this bitch out. I conquered the business, I AM the business. "Patterson, get in here....."

No mention of a succession plan? Does Vince intend to take WWE ouf with him? That’s what confuses me. Shareholders stock dropped when Vince was implied to have died (and yes, they should have known Vince wasn’t actually dead but that’s the fundamental point), you’d think they’d at least to even be able to say “This person is taking over until we find the right kind of successor” or something. Like, Eisner leaving didn’t affect Disney that much because Bob Iger was being trained in his VP role to be the successor. Whose WWE’s Bob Iger? The stock also tumbled when Raw was sold to.....some guy.

I think it is almost an impossibility that there isn't a succession plan in place somewhere. Vince probably just isn't wanting to wave it around since it would be confronting his own mortality and sort of an out of sight, out of mind type mentality.

So like the pharaohs of old, Vince wants to be buried with his riches and servents. Kevin Dunn ain’t looking forward to that day. No, but I'm sure Steph and Hunter are.

No mention of a succession plan? Does Vince intend to take WWE out with him? Guys? What if his backup plan is to give Kevin Dunn complete and full control? Guys?

No mention of a succession plan? Does Vince intend to take WWE out with him? Whether he means to or not, I'm certain that that is exactly what's going to happen. I liken this situation to that story about how $13 million dollars in cryptocurrency may not be paid out to investors because the owner of the blockchain died and had the only access password. Everything about what's going on with Vince indicates this company is going to fall apart rapidly if he dies suddenly.

Honestly, I hope AEW steals all their talent and puts them out of business. The McMahons are "old hat". They haven't produced a must see product in what 2 DECADES?
I would rather see someone else have a go at it at this point. They are just breezing by on manipulating investors, and conning TV networks into signing deals with them despite them hardly drawing at all.
The death of territories and WCW, in the long term really destroyed the wrestling business. So all thats left is this shit you watch on RAW and Smackdown (if you can manage to watch it), which is just about as bad as WCW was in its last few dying years.
The product hasn't been watchable from top to bottom in years.. It may improve a bit once shnozz and Screechy voice take over, but the "boom period" of must watch wrestling on TV? Forget it.
The more years that go by the More I think the Mcmahons just "lucked out". They should have been put out of business back in the 90s. Stone Cold, Rock, Foley basically saved their ass. That mixed with Bischoff spending Turner's money like a drunken sailor.

If people want to use Disney as an example, you have to go back further.
WWE losing Vince would be what happened when Walt Disney died. Walt had no succession plan, even after found out he had lung cancer. After Walt's death, the company went into the mindset of "What would Walt do?" And that's due to Walt's brother Roy, and later Roy Jr, taking over for the next decade and a half.
It wouldn't be until Michael Eisner, and later Bob Over, taking over and going in new directions, that Disney would bounce back and become the juggernaut it is today.
I see the same happening to WWE. Vince will eventually die. If Steph or HHH go in a "What would Vince do" mindset, the company will not do so well.
