I always forget how unserious wrestling journalists are

I always chuckle and compare it to if real sports operate like that.

We all kept joking about it... now I'm sitting here, wondering if it might actually happen, like this is the actual last straw

A lot of WWE talent might walk...

With what available talent??

If he wanted anything above an indy he would need to buy someone like Impact and even then they aren't much bigger than an indy nowadays.

Would it be easier to buy a company than start it?

All H would need to do is then negotiate television deals right? Say if he bought an Impact Wrestling?

If he started it from scratch there would be so much legal work to do, because he would have to start from the beginning.

Good point, HHH buying Impact would be pretty damn smart. And yeah, I could see a good portion of WWE's roster walking if it were to happen.

I’m so depressed, I was so pumped for the next 4 months leading up to mania, never been more excited in my adult life as a wrestling fan,things looked so promising.

I will say it is very frustrating when multiple wrestling news twitters say something like "SOMETHING BIG IS COMING"!, "THIS MIGHT BE HAPPENING!", "I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING!"

Like it's already a crazy volatile situation, I think we're all expecting more news, you don't gotta make the anxiety even worse...

[The Rick Jericho]

Here's a question. If they were sold to the Saudi's. This would mean WWE HQ would be moved to Saudi Arabia full time?

This could be a HUGE REASON if HHH decides to quit. ZERO chance he would uplift Steph and the girls to another country especially so close to college for some of them I would guess.

Edit: 15, 13 and 11. Yeah, NO WAY he moves the girls to Saudi Arabia full time.

I could see Triple H buying INTO Impact, or becoming a not exec and convincing Anthem to invest more to regrow the brand... but I doubt Triple H will make an offer that Anthem would be willing to listen to

I’m now thinking that’s when the press release hits and I’m staying up. The timeline makes too much sense.

[DMO-]

Not to sound ignorant, if the saudis actually do buy…. What happens with the women’s division? Buried to the ground?

I still stand by my earlier comparison to the NOAH/AJPW split... Even before you get into specific HHH loyalists and the folks Hunter specifically brought back, I feel like as a whole the talent both on-and-off screen has been fairly vocal about how much better morale and working conditions etc etc had been after Vince was gone.

That, and based off how things were before, I can't _not_ see Vince immediately purging the roster and backstage. It wouldn't be a coup without a purge, after all.

So yeah, basically, if HHH wanted to leave and start his own promotion or pick up somebody else's, he'd almost certainly have established talent to work with.
