Welp, it seems to be official, CNBC and NYT reporting it as a done deal.
Edit: Also Reuters, Bloomberg, FT, etc.

Whole kinds of changing monarchy but to put it in our terms, Nick Khan is still president, Vince is still executive chair and they’ll be reporting to Ari Emanuel and Mark Shapiro, CEO and president respectively of whatever this new company will be with UFC. |

Oh my god no it's a dude named Mark Shapiro lmao Honestly? Same reaction when I read it. 😆 He’s already President of Endeavor which just feels wildly appropriate. |

As an aside, I’m bummed. For as much as we rag on WWE, they were one of the few independent entities not swallowed up by a big conglomerate for the means of making money over not much else and even with WWE doing everything in the past few years to make them friendly to those entitles, it’s still sad to have a lot of pro wrestling history just locked away as “content” or “IP” that may never be shown as significant because of the obsession these places have with new.
And as mentioned, a lot of people are going to be losing their jobs and with the amount of jobs WWE’s cut up and down the company the last three years or so, they’ll practically be bare bones.

I honestly thought you were confusing Ari Emmanuel with Ben Shapiro and thought your phone had betrayed you in every way imaginable but then read the Hollywood Reporter article specifically lmao Also I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet, but: The CEO of WWE is now the dude who The Trustbusters were based on |

Ari Emmanuel is where Ari Daivari came from, Tony did an interview about it when The Trustbusters first popped up and either mentioned him by name or alluded to it so strongly that it couldn't be anyone else. It was definitely him tho lmao. |

Like, that makes sense considering the connections TK seems to have himself to this stuff but…it’s still weird how the universe likes to throw in gags like this every so often. |
