No Saudis, but Vince in charge: do you stop watching WWE?

[tekkenguy]

Let’s say the Saudi deal ends up not happening but Vince remains in charge, do you stop watching WWE?

[Lizuka #BLM]

Probably not 100%, and I don't really follow week-to-week as it is, but it'd definitely be a major turnoff to checking it out very often.

[Final Countdown Jones]

Vince coming back aborted my interest in starting to follow it again and give the run-up to Mania a chance, absolutely.

[FinalGwen]

Yes. Even while HHH was in charge of the booking, it was still making money for a man we know committed multiple sexual assaults.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Giving fans a taste of what the company looked like without Vince, just for Vince to come back and ruin everything and go right back in charge? I gotta imagine that's the last straw for a lot of people, regardless.

[Dub H]

The only thing I was doing was following dominic and Sami online. No doubt he will ruin that.

Cam you imagine Dominic but with Vince idea of comedy? It would take thr Mami dynamic and completely make it " loldominic is not a man"

[Gus Richlen: Ruffian]

Everything would be ruined again so yes.

[King Devitt and the Woke Mob]

I'll go back to just PPV's probably, with the occasional dip into clips on YT if anything interesting happens like I was doing.

The writing always sucked, but the talent tended to bring it for big shows.

Everyone will be ruined, and in record time at that.

Judgment Day will be stupid again.
Priest will be back to his stupid "evil, but kinda good" gimmick b/c Vince has to take EVERYTHING f***ing literally.
Balor will be lost in the shuffle.
Dom will be absolutely destroyed by shitty Vince comedy.

LA Knight is toast, which guts me as I'm a massive fan of the guy.
Bray is probably f***ed as well seeing as how they don't seem to get along (and for good reason, one is creative, the other couldn't create a sandwich).

Roman is safe, but Sami is probably going to be ruined.
Brock and Oldberg are gonna be coming back FOR SURE now, and in title matches probably.
Asuka doing something interesting and turning into Dark Asuka? Nope. If yes somehow, it will be ruined REAL quick.

24/7 Title is coming back, Hurt Business won't reunite. Lashley will grab his asscheeks again, and there will be some surprises that no one will like due to Vince going private (seems inevitable no matter what) and not having to answer to anyone.

It was bad before, it's going to be a shitshow now with full Vince creative, and being beholden to no one.

[kingoftheindies]

I barely watch now outside of YouTube if someone hypes something up. Vince or no Vince I find that outside of the bloodline WWE creatively stagnant again and if Vince is in charge it'll get worse

[Deleted]

I stopped watching the 'E nearly a decade ago. I can't pretend there were any moral factors going into it, as it really just boiled down to "I hated the product", but the past few weeks has made me realize I made the right choice in not even thinking to care anymore.

[salz4life]

I just watch the PPVs as is... probably stick to that.

[polarbearpete]

I was still enjoying the shows when Vince was last in charge of creative, especially the PPVs, so I’d still watch. Would prefer to see HHH in charge though.

[chronocross]

No, still don't mind the shows that much as I watch them in clip form online aside from the PLE's.

[canceled4truth]

I’d probably still pop in for the big shows but that might be the end of my hardcore WWE fandom until he croaks. I didn’t hate WWE in 2021 but I do hate the idea of a predator forcibly taking something that no one wanted him to

[Deleted]

I watch when its good and take breaks when it sucks, like I've always done.

[XIII]

I’ll probably just watch the PPVs at that point. 5-11 hours of Vince booking a week is a war crime. Dude is buttcheeks at his job.

[Allie Kitsune]

Vince's booking is a miserable slog to begin with, then add his baggage on top of it, and it's just not worth it.

[BRV]

In charge of the company, but not creative? Yeah, I'll still watch. As long as his fingerprints aren't all over the on-screen product, it won't affect my viewing entirely too much.

In charge of the company AND creative? I could see my interest waning rapidly, to the point where I'm back to where I was in the late-2000s and early-2010s, i.e. just watching the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania and popping in to Raw or SmackDown if I've heard something major is going to happen.

[Toates Madhackrviper]

I'd probably still catch the Rumble if no Saudis, since I'm still subscribed to Peacock and will be regardless because of the deal I have with my roommate regarding streaming services. Otherwise I will have to see if the product actually takes a downturn first. If he's not getting back into creative then I might check out Pay Per Views. If it turns into Vince's vision again though, I won't have interest.

[dbrussel]

People will watch anyways unless some stories/feuds are really poor taste (or super boring)
