I don't see any world where any sane person would value the WWE at 9 billion dollars.

Vince is pricing it out of anyone other than the Saudi’s buying at $9M, of course that’s the asking price and it will be negotiated down a bit but the financial types put the value at like $6M ish. So I think that this is all part of Vince’s master plan where either someone overpays drastically for it or he keeps it but looks like he’s doing what’s best for the WWE. It should start getting interesting in the next few weeks.

Probably not a 2.5 billion premium but still a significant sum. |

I will say, I saw HHH’s answer to Thurston’s question about Vince at the presser…I get he has to be middle of the ground considering his job could be taken away from him any second but him saying “I stay out of it” was embarrassing.
Dude…you’re on the board of directors. Your voting share isn’t as big as Vince but it’s significant enough. You kind of have to be aware of all this going on for your own slice of that pie.

I want an Austin Powers skit.
Vince: I'm going sell WWE for....ONE MILLION DOLLARS
Shane: Its worth 9 billion
Vince: Why make Billions when you could make....Millions?! Muhahahaha
Shane: A billion is worth more than a million numbnuts
Vince: Ya just don't get it, do ya shaney?

He wants to set the price so high that it ensures minimal chance of a potential sale going through, ensuring that he stays in power. Should the sale go through however, he makes out like a f***ing bandit. It's a win-win situation for him. |

There’s been no indication on screen that Vince is in charge of creative. If they actually follow through with Lesnar-Omos at Mania that would have me start being a little suspicious however.

There have been some things in the product that do make me turn my head slightly to wonder if Vince is getting involved more

I have a few empty medicine bottles that I filled up with all of my loose change I collected over the years. I just need to stop at the Coinstar and I should have enough to pay for a WWE. Yeah, but Coinstar charges like 9.8% in fees, so are you comfortable giving almost 900 million to them? |

Wasn’t there a report a week or so ago where Vince was giving input but HHH still has final say?
HHH about to empty the clip before he resigns right before Wrestlemania. LMAO

Vince being on creative could mean a lot of things. It could just mean that he’s making suggestions but HHH still has final say. Hell the Brock/Omos thing might them just be throwing the old man a bone to make him feel useful.
Now if Vince is marching into gorilla on Monday and starts shouting in the commentator’s headset, that’s when we know we’re screwed.

LMAO 100 percent opinion based on context clues? I'm sure Vince has more say than they want to give credit but they don't want to either tank morale right now but also they want to get through Mania. Then after Mania things will be communicated differently |

To the point Raw's ratings will be below what ESPN is airing on monday nights? |

It will only cost the low price of $9.99! ...times a billion. remember when the Network was just getting started and they had Cole basically call you a dumbass if you ordered it on PPV instead of buying the Network for $9.99 LMAO If Vince actually sells Saudi is buying this thing, wrestling is the "garbage business" after all. If Vince thinks that's the way he can give the middle finger to the fans one last time, then it's practically guaranteed that's what he's holding out for. |

Trish being at the Ottawa show only to not be needed was weird and a bit of a red flag. Doesn't mean Vince is definitely there making those decisions but Hunter hasn't really changed creative that last minute. It's one thing to nix a segment with talent you're using in other ways. It's another thing to nix something after one of your legends already made the trip over there.
