Do you think there’s a contingency plan? (Vince dying)

[Deleted]

So, I was watching Gremlins 2 and I remember reading about CNN having a doomsday video. There’s an interesting article about it on jalopnik:

I know this is a morbid question, but do you think the company has something set up in the event that Vince passes? Like a general layout for a few weeks of how to run the company when it happens. Do they shut down live events for about a week? Raw and SD are just tributes with the announcers doing wraparounds from the studio in Stamford? Or do they go all out with the Eddie/Owen style tribute show? Is the tribute video (Narrated by Cole probably) already in the can?

I presume from a business perspective, they have the transition laid out but it’s interesting to think about.

Blame Gremlins 2 for this thread...but watch Gremlins 2. It’s a great movie.

We actually talked about this a few days given a recent 10-K SEC filing by WWE.

"In addition to serving as Chairman of our Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. McMahon leads the creative team that develops the storylines and the characters for our programming (including our television, WWE Network and other programming) and live events. From time to time, Mr. McMahon has also been an important member of our cast of performers. The loss of Mr. McMahon due to unexpected retirement, disability, death or other unexpected termination for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our ability to create popular characters and creative storylines or could otherwise adversely affect our operating results. Mr. McMahon has established Alpha Entertainment LLC, to explore investment opportunities across the sports entertainment landscapes, and Alpha Entertainment LLC plans to launch a professional football league in early 2020 . While he has provided the Company assurances that his focus on WWE will not be diverted by these efforts, any such diversion or perception of such diversion could adversely affect our operating results and could have a material adverse effect on our stock price."

They're f***ed if Vince passes.

Vince believe in never letting his stars do something he wouldn't be willing to do himself, apparently.

He let the show go on for the Owen Hart death.

No way he would want the show not to go on for his own.

That's how I view it.

[The Ichi]

They can't even plan a months worth of television.

[Hit Girl]

Yes, he's called HHH.

[wildojinx]

I wouldnt be surprised if Vince has planned out a whole angle revolving around his real life death.

[Mozenrath]

He had a plan for if he went to prison, so yeah, probably.
