      Vince and the WWE are ahead of this thing. Instead of hiding from the spotlight, Vince went straight into it. Stephanie will assume the permanent CEO role as it was already determined years ahead of time, that timeline just got bumped up because of this scandal. They've been masters of using real life situations to their advantage. Stephanie will probably "fire" Vince publicly at some point, and somewhat blur the lines between real and make-believe. They will actually profit from this scandal. People that think WWE is about to crumble are going to be sorely disappointed.

      It's about why Fox and NBC paid millions for a show only woke loser marks enjoy. Fox knows in the US alone 8-12 million people used to watch wrestling. Most of those people are still alive. Yet including international fans we are looking at 2 million on a good day watching Raw/Smackdown?
      You think WWE was honest about how many subscribers they had? How many of those accounts did they show Fox and NBC that were old accounts cancelled before anyone had to pay? You can probably cut the true WWE subscriber count by 1/2 or maybe even 1/3rd.
      There's plenty of not woke shows on TV that get great ratings even in the streaming era, look at Game of Thrones after all. Now while Fox probably didn't expect that level of success I think they expected 4-5 million total per week all sides considered including international. They're lucky if they're half that right now.
