As we know, WWE could spend time and energy to build a fan base that grows and grows and STILL get sold for parts. So... why bother? WWE was doomed the minute it was sold. It just depends on how long it takes.

Can't wait until triple h books an angle where jelly roll takes an ice pick to his eye, causing him to get fired, then Jim Herd gets brought in to run things. Who's the 2026 version of jim herd? Reggie Fils Aime? He worked for pizza hut

Also, paying for a “premium” service with espn unlimited only for their to be regular ass commercials.

I miss the 6 month period after Vince where things were looking great. They broke free, with a stellar roster and the ability to finally tell proper stories. I was rooting for them. Glad AEW caught fire again. At least there's somewhere else to go as WWE changes into whatever they're trying to be.

Maybe the Saudis will buy it and then BY GOD THATS VINCE MCMAHON'S MUSIC and then it destroys the company because there's such a huge concentration of evil

Maybe a sport going national isn't better. It's making me wonder if football, baseball, and basketball would actually be more fun and compelling as a bunch of smaller regional leagues.

Vince is gonna go grab some Saudi money and take the company back

the world would be demonstrably better without WWE in it so stay the course imo

At a certain point, TKO will discover that "wrestling" is its least profitable aspect of WWE. Matches will become 'Dress to Impress', where the crowd will vote on, thus driving engagement. Of course, everything will be sponsored.

The commercials have gotten SOOO out of line, they're interrupting an ad for another ad. Soon they'll go subliminal.

Brodus Clay will outlive John Cena!

we can only hope

Any major number fans who are actually going to stop watching already did 5-6 years ago. These people are going to keep paying thousands of dollars to watch ads and convince themselves they like it that way.

That's not as true as it once was, the rsn money has dried up hard for a lot of teams.

That's TNA lol

Nah, if any wrestling fed is the proverbial cockroach, it's TNA.

Because this time it’s owned by pure corporate people who have done nothing to build or grow the actual core of the product. They bought it fully formed, expanded the advertising end of the business to a ridiculous degree and will sell it out as soon as they think they can make more profit that way.

They should have taken Tony Khan up on his very reasonable bid of $6.9 billion

They're selling Al-Hilal too. Their new five-year plan looks like it's set to cut loose any of their sports properties that aren't running actual profits. So as soon as that's not WWE...

I wish I could say the same. I haven't and won't pay to watch their product, I'll barely even watch it for free, but I have a weakness for wrestling games so I end up buying one of the shitty 2K games every few years.

Dan is in fact getting that bag[literal] to go there.

The ppvs are ridiculous with the commercials too.

Its completely enshittified now. Less than 90min of matches in a 4hr show yesterday. Ads for their Hogan documentary were longer than basically any of the matches. The joke of Night 1 for WM is probably the last straw for a lot of people, including me

Ads during entrances is beyond stupid…what the hell?? 🤷‍♂️

The crowds have to stop giving them money for anything to ever change. They don't care how loudly they boo. Any engagement is engagement and can make them money.

They should stay the course. Anyone still going out and spending big money on going to WWE shows deserves to get milked dry.

I always expect them to do The Dumb Thing and I sure am.... uh.... proud of that.

Don’t worry, Saudi Arabia will own it in a few years

I suspect given how much talent is in AEW, TNA, or even the shambling zombie that is the NWA that this money grab is pretty much going to kill the WWE.

I'm sick of all these ads and commercials.

Income from ads will no longer matter (but the ads will be promoting the kingdom and will be more important than ever)

As a lifelong wrestling fan, I've spent a lot of time being frustrated with WWE for a multitude of reasons, but these days it just makes me sad. Not even mad, just bummed.
