Jesus that sounds like a miserable environment
|
Yeah, I got depressed just reading that
|
FOX would be idiots not to have failsafes built into their contract.
|
Yeah, having one is what saved Destination America from the headache of having to deal with Impact and Dixie Carter for the long term.
If WWE wanted security for their show, going to FOX or any other major basic cable network was the worst option possible. FOX, NBC, ABC, and CBS are all notorious when it comes to canning or moving shows at a moments notice if they don't reach certain expectations. The shows WWE is replacing on Fridays were averaging in the 3-4 million range and FOX still felt that was worth sacrificing to get SmackDown, which at best does in the mid 2 million range since going live. |
Even with a 25% increase, they’d still only be at 2.5 million.

Is there any way Vince could get voted out? He's in his 70's making decisions on what he thinks people in their teens and twenties want to see ffs, he couldn't be more out of touch.
|
He'd have to sell off a majority of his voting share stock in order for that to be possible.
He's sold off a ton of stock within the past year but its been all non-voting shares in the company. |

I'm sure I've read there's a way that they can freeze his control or something of the like, but it would require a lot of work and a unified front. I'm not sure the investors in WWE know/care that much about the product to see past the green they're making from TV deals and Saudi Arabia in the moment. Look how many pulled out even though they should have known that stock is going to rise in October when those new deals kick in (at least initially).
I don't see it happening. There's too much general support/indifference to Vince running things, whether or not that is misguided at this point or not. |

Him and Linda own something like 85-95% of the real power in the company so even combining the power of everyone else to oust him would be meaningless unless he agrees to leave. Not even Linda plus everyone else would be enough I believe. |
37 writers?!
That's way too many cooks in the kitchen if you ask me. And Dana Warrior just got brought in and she's calling the shots. Talk about having some pull. |
I'm not sure I believe that call. Some of it seems very WWE, but a lot of it seems...I dunno, my fabrication detector is going off a little.
|
I wonder if "under no circumstances" does WWE SD go to FS1 involves Game 3 of the World Series scheduled for Friday October 25th on FOX.

Moolah ep of Dark Side was good. Feel like Georgia Brown git advantage taken of her because she's black. Moolah screwed over Richter but I think it was similar to Montreal where she claims to not have known Moolah was under the mask but she knew. Wendi probably could have git the belt back and kept women's wrestling going into the 90s had she not taken her ball and gone home.
|
The whole Wendi Richter/Moolah screwjob never made sense. Penny Mitchell was normally the Spider Lady and she looks NOTHING like Moolah physically. I don't know how she didn't know.

I'm gonna have to watch the show tomorrow and rewatch the Moolah v Richter match.
|
For reference, here's Penny Mitchell as The Spider Lady
|
Quote:
Her contract dispute presented the opportunity Vince needed to start de-emphasizing women's wrestling in the company. Considering Moolah was also involved in the demise of the original Women's Tag belts, she helped Vince achieve his goal by the end of the 80s. |
As soon as Cyndi Lauper stopped appearing, Vince stopped caring.

Now that he doesn't have to worry about appeasing fans with Becky and history making stuff, he's right back to not giving a shit about women's wrestling in general and cramming Reigns down the throats of crowds. For someone meant to be their next mega star, they haven't really shown it with Becky after Mania. |
I think Becky is getting more attention for the two matches at MITB than Kofi is getting

Other than Lesnar, who's a bigger star than Becky right now?
|
Quote:
With Kofi, he's pretty much getting pushed to the side because of Reigns taking priority and his Owens feud being rushed due to some ill timing with Bryan and Big E's injuries. On top of that, having whatever remaining focus being split because of Becky's stuff and the Wild Card nonsense. |
Imagine treating your top champions as afterthought fodder
