There is currently an ongoing class action lawsuit against WWE regarding lying about their media agreements in the Middle East. You can find the whole legal document here. Below is what two different confidential witnesses revealed:   |

I mean, none of it is really a surprise because there was way more suspicious shit about this than what we knew but to see some of it put in black and white like that...Jesus.

Vince gambling with his employees independent contractors lives while he and others were safely in the skies, nothing that we didn’t already know but more confirmed for the Vince is a scumbag list.
*I doubt that the Saudi’s would have actually harmed the wrestlers and it was really just a power play to show who the real boss is, but still.

And they tried to sweep it under the rug and claim reports were false. Whoever CW2 is they must have no desire to return because they didn't just burn that bridge they dropped a nuke on it.

Assuming both the 2012 date here and Wikipedia are correct, CW-2 is likely Scott Dawson.

Vince tried to play the Saudis and he got his wrestlers caught in the crossfire for it. That's sickening by itself. But the idea of them trying to kayfabe the numbers and claim there'd be a hundred million subscribers or whatever is just. It never stops does it? Anyway yeah this company's trash as all hell and it's not going to stop being trash by the looks of it. They got in bed with the Saudis and then decided to start playing with matches in bed.

Holy shit. 100 million subscribers was WWE's projection? What's the population of Saudi Arabia? *checks* 33.4 million according to Wikipedia.
Either the number was grossly exaggerated by _somebody_ or else WWE clearly thought its bargaining position with Saudi Arabia would be stronger than it turned out to be. It makes me wonder if there were other considerations at play during the negotiations that didn't pan out as expected or desired.
It seems to me that all the maelstrom that was the negotiations with Fox (which might have done damage to the Saudi deal), the startup of the XFL (and the questions about how that was being paid for), and the brouhaha over what happened in Saudi Arabia was a collective shitnado born not simply out of greed, but possibly out of political gamesmanship. Vince seems to have deeply isolated himself from even members of his own family in his day-to-day management of the company; Steph and Shane are nowhere to be seen; Trips is ensconced entirely with NXT. There's a reason for that, I think.

I dont think you can say Vince is failing up at this point he's sort of, maybe already fell and he's somehow still moving and just hasnt tried getting up since 2001
