I appreciate Vince for giving us a gift, but I wish he was gone. Paul should be running the company.

You know if you think about it. If it wasn't for Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. WWE probably wouldn't have been as successful because when Kevin Nash & Scott Hall went to WCW they basically challenged WWE. So they had a lot to do with the success of WWE I'm not expecting everybody to agree. But I watched the whole attitude era. Just put two and two together for those that are WWE fans and or WCW fans would know this. So thank you Kevin Nash Scott Hall so thank you for all that you've done for the wrestling business.

I'd have to disagree with you Kevin. HHH, along with Vince and Stephanie all have vices, they are work-o-holics. It's just as devastating on the body as others if not worse. It's the reason why HHH ended up in the hospital because he didn't know when to say enough is enough with his work load. Ric Flair has a really bad case of it, because he doesn't know how to be Richard Fliehr only Ric Flair.

@@johnnyboling3194 If you watch his and Chyna's MTV Episode "My Life, I'm a pro wrestler," from 1999, he talks about "feeling the adrenaline rush from the crowd," then moments later the pain hits you of what you just put your body through. Then the next shot shows a chiropractor standing on his back, trying to stretch HHH out and relieve the tension. Then he snaps HHH'S head/neck a few times.

Triple H probably isn’t that upset no longer being on the board. I mean when you have Vince and the other guys arguing (potentially) over what gets done or how it gets done, I’d wanna stay the hell out of that. I’d also leave it be for the meantime because it wouldn’t surprise me if Endeavor gets what they want out of Vince and then shows him the door.

That's because even though the others you list are also FOS, they're still notably less insular and anti-intellectual with their misleading takes than Fox. Fox News is just a special kind of bubble where right wing culture war propoganda is everything.

The thing about WWE now is Triple H is in a spot where he only should have worry about creative. It shouldn’t still be just one guy doing everything stretched thin. Run it like a football team essentially where the owner collects his checks and does meeting and the guys hired to the run the team run the team. Why would you have the head coach attending earnings calls and meeting with sponsors?

I suspect the info more then they called for " this is a unique business that can't be run like others" I suspect they'll figure that out way too late. Seems like they're going to go using other sports figures neglecting the people in this business investment entire lifetimes, and those who have been on top and know how to stay there boring there injuries are needing to make another star. The model that they're going to follow where they're only going to make stars from in-house, by getting them from college and other sports isn't sustainable, you need those Indies and the territories to let people work out what they can and can't do. Imagine if Disney was the only place to learn acting😢
