Also HBO being part of the Warner/Discovery empire could have implications for any future TV deals if/when Vince throws a hissy at them if they do this.
July 21, 20223 yr comment_5986219 NXT UK really is a great place to work. https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/former-nxt-uk-referee-artemis-pay-big-issue-i-took-pay-cut-being-teacher Former (French) NXT UK ref explaining she never earned as little money as she did working WWE. Fuck, she was earning more as a teacher, and that was probably not very much (not enough anyway).
July 21, 20223 yr comment_5986222 If anything she should have got hazard pay to work there since that's where WWE stashed all the sex creeps.
July 22, 20223 yr comment_5986269 Damn, one minute too late ! Bye bye, we hardly knew ye. Can we get an entire Dark Side season now ?
July 22, 20223 yr comment_5986270 There have to be more mainstream news articles coming. This retirement is out of nowhere, and Vince always said that the only way he would cede control is if someone was ruthless enough to stab him and snatch it
July 22, 20223 yr comment_5986272 Yeah, I’d wager this is going to get very ugly, very quickly. We’re through the looking glass now, boys. I assume Dunn and Pritchard fall next. Can Coach Tony K take advantage of the chaos? I notice they announced Hunter is back to work; does this actually end with him and Steph on the throne, as they always envisaged?

Has to be. I don't see Vince leaving under any other terms than that.
July 22, 20223 yr comment_5986276 Remember Trip just got back as the EVP of Talent Relations. Shit is crazy.
July 22, 20223 yr comment_5986277 A thought for Dave Meltzer, who thought he could just lay back and enjoy Briscoes vs FTR this week-end.

I didn't see any indication from the last few weeks that he felt pressured enough to do this. The man was appearing on live TV and apparently said "Fuck them" backstage about the allegations after one of his segments on SD a few weeks ago.

July 22, 20223 yr comment_5986281 Just now, MoS said: I mean, when has that stopped powerful men from retaining their power. They are beginning to fall. Slowly, but it happens. Harvey Weinstein fell. Some people in France are going through the same process (for rape accusations). 1 minute ago, MoS said: I didn't see any indication from the last few weeks that he felt pressured enough to do this. The man was appearing on live TV and apparently said "Fuck them" backstage about the allegations after one of his segments on SD a few weeks ago. Yep, but more is probably to come. I mean, I'm neither shocked nor think it will immediately change anything. But I'm not shocked. Now, I'm just waiting to see (and hoping) if there's an actual killshot coming.
July 22, 20223 yr comment_5986282 I'm actually pretty intrigued by a post-Vince WWE creative. Or is everything so deeply ingrained that nothing will really change?
July 22, 20223 yr comment_5986285 It’s all on production. If Dunn leaves, that’s enough for me. I can’t imagine Bruce gets to stick around. Paul coming back is not a coincidence. It’s now Khan’s choice to see which way they go.
July 22, 20223 yr comment_5986286 PWI says Prichard and Dunn will running creative reporting to Steph and HHH
July 22, 20223 yr comment_5986287 I am very curious to see what happens with Bruce Prichard and to a lesser degree, Kevin Dunn now. If those two end up being shown the door some time in the next 3-6 months, then actual organizational changes might actually be coming to WWE. If not, then it’s a safe guess that Vince will just be calling the shots from afar.
July 22, 20223 yr comment_5986288 Stephy is incompetent. I mean, they said it themselves a few weeks back. I guess they changed their mind. Dunn is god awful. Triple H has been exposed a long time ago. Brucie is... You know Vince is gonna write the show from his home anyway.
July 22, 20223 yr comment_5986290 Bryan Alvarez just tweeted Brock has left the building at Smackdown

You know Vince is gonna write the show from his home anyway. Rumor has always had it that Stephanie and Trips do not like Prichard and Dunn, and vice versa. I don’t see those four willing to coexist, or even being able to coexist voluntarily. If they do then we know that Vince is still pulling the strings, which is what I assume will happen. I am kind of curious what role Nick Khan will take in all of this as well.
