It's worth more money than it's ever been. He's not killing anything haha. Shit's worth like 5 billion dollars. You couldn't kill that company with Russo hulk Hogan and Eric bischoff running it at this point
One observation: Vince's greatest creation is making the simple formal name "Mr. McMahon" a character name in people's mind, that when he is referred to that in an official business article, we tend to think of that evil owner in WWE shows lol
Me too. When I heard the news about Vince McMahon coming back, I was bummed out thinking I was going have to wait awhile to listen to Jim Cornette talk about it. But turns out we get to hear his thoughts about it now. What a pleasant surprise.
From the goat of wrestling to the goat of bowling. They think alike! Pete Weber is the goat.... Right? I've never watched a full 10 frames of other people bowl
I've been a Cornette Cultist since 1989, and like wine the man gets better with age. Shoutout to the Post Office Playboy, a delight to listen to that holds his own with a legend. Thank you for your coverage of this insane industry we love so much we can't let go, no matter how insane it gets.
What do you think if you kiss his ass enough he'll respond? Lol I love cornette too but jeez lol you really got your nose shoved up his ass. You know they don't read the TH-cam comments right?
@Russo Is A Genius, Bro! Yes I am a real cultist, 100%, and what Cornette does with women like your mom is his business. I myself enjoy demeaning and degrading your mom, he may be more romantically-inclined
Vince was never against people wrestling in Japan or getting entangled with puroresu. It's just that when Cena and Orton were on top, he knew they were being exposed for their lack of skill as it was, there was no need to make it even more obvious.
Vince basically taken the company hostage. I’ll be surprised if there is a sale at all. I think this is more a mechanism Vince has used to return to power. He’ll be sitting at Gorilla by June and Sami will be on main event.
It would be but I don't think Vince would sell it to Turner. His pride wouldn't let him since it's still his baby. I don't think it's a given that he will sell it anyway.
Absolutely he is. His heel character is just as important to winning the Monday night wars as Stone Cold was. Everything he was involved with was automatically the top of the card and entertaining as all hell.
Vince: let me see what you have planned for Bray? HHH: Well Vince we have this story about his brother dressing up as Uncle Howdy and trying to bring out a more dangerous Bray. We also have Alexa having PTSD from her time with Bray. The crowd really seems to like it. Vince: Great! Now go give Bray this sumo wrestler outfit and tell him to go dance in the ring. Because half naked fat men dancing is funny to me. Put Alexa in a bra and panties match with Lacy Evans. HHH: Vince, it isn't 1997 anymore. Vince: There that's fixed. What's Sami doing with Roman?
2 points that Jim brought up no one else has 1. While Vince won’t come in and say “What the hell is a Johnny Gargano?”, he will come in and hot shot all the big stars to make the sale look good 2. This whole thing is bigger than the boys/girls in the locker room
@@Biosynthnut Vince can do whatever he wants. If he chooses not to take over creative, which seems to be the case, then that's his right. But Vince owns the company. Vince owns the majority voting stock. If Vince wants to control creative, Triple H would have "no chance in Hell" of stopping him.
@@Myrridan19 True. For what's going down currently though. It's strictly "what's best for business." If Vince gets back into creative... Oh boy. The last few months have been pretty good on the main roster. NXT, not so much.
@@Biosynthnut honestly, Raw and SD have been about the same, with some higher highs but also lower lows. For example, the Bloodline storyline has heated up and is must watch, and I'm loving what they're doing with LA Knight, but everything with Hit Row, Damage Ctrl, and Johnny Gargano has been cringe-inducing garbage.
You know, even though Vince supposedly retired, it didn't felt like it, It didn't feel like the world changing event it should of been, I think deep down we all knew he was going to be back
I'm convinced that Vinnie Mac will have to actually be dead to not be a part of WWE. This guy seriously does not know how to do anything else, it's like the WWE is this compulsion that he can't quit. It's kind of sad.
@@marcussabom2696 wwe was his own little project that he devoted 50 years to and single handedly a multi billion dollar company, he’s not the type that’s content to sit back and enjoy his wealth
These cartoon images are spot on! Vince and the other one with Ricky starks on the railroad tracks. Jericho as a French madman w a stash and Jim’s head in the train haha
@@actuallynotsteve Hopefully Paul and Stephanie realize that's how this is going to end and get themselves something (wrestling or no) that they can sustain without Vince.
Brian makes a good point. The Saudis are the most likely to buy it. Vince has developed a strong relationship with them to the point that Crown Jewel is a major PPV now. Also, the Saudis just bought the soccer team Newcastle United through their sovereign wealth fund so there's one major sports and entertainment venture they own. With all of that said, I think Tony Khan is a big winner here. The most likely scenarios are Vince comes back and reestablishes the evil empire image which drove viewers to AEW in the first place or the Saudis, with all of their controversy, buy it.
Khan had a golden opportunity when Vince resigned. Instead of putting out a better product and grabbing market share while wwe had terrible publicity khan destroyed his own company with awful management and booking and wwe used the scandal to improve ratings and appearance. Now Vince will sell the company before his return can tank the show again .
@@ronniejdio9411 He's got a pretty quick timeline to do it. I can't imagine the sponsors are too happy with this, and it probably won't be long before the stock is affected by the instability. If there's anything Wall Street hates, it's instability.
Brian saying they can't get nearly the same money for TV rights as they used to. Raw moves to Netflix for 5 billion dollars. Missed the mark on that one didn't he.
17:30. No He will not talk Austin into doing anything. Austin can wreslte anymore... what is Austin going to do to draw 🙄😮💨... nothing. Austin is in his mid 50's if not his 60's by now let's not forget why Austin had to retire so soon in 2003 in the first place.........
I'm the same way. I haven't watched any new wrestling in five or six years but I listen to Corny every night. I'd rather hear him review the shows than watch them myself.
Because it was a good feeling. I didn’t think he’d make moves as brash as he’s done now but you can never truly consider someone to be gone who owns 81% of shareholder voting power. Whatever their position is as long as they have that they can always push their way back if they want to. It was also hard to ever believe he was leaving for sure considering how much of a workaholic he is. Everybody who’s ever worked with him for an extended time has talked about how his life revolves on his work and how he’d never retire. So he only left because he got forced to do so. I personally figured he’d return but in a quiet way further down the road. I always figure he’d slip into some advisory role and then slowly elevate his involvement once the media died down a bit. But i feel like he went this route because the timing was perfect to do it. The company wasn’t in a position to fight him on it because of the risk it would be to their next media deal a long legal battle and dirt throwing by it’ll both sides would’ve been. If this was next year for example, and the company had a long term media extension already locked down, I think they would’ve fought him on this.
If WWE is sold it would be the first time, in wrestling history, that a company was sold while being successful. Every time a company was sold to someone else, things were dire - NWA, WCW, ECW, NJPW, ROH, TNA, etc. They've turned in record profits year after year. Whoever buys it is going to pay a fortune for it.
I hope they don't sell personally, really at the end of the day thats all I care about. Even so, if they do, hopefully it just makes more competition organizations because whoever buys will probably just ruin it more.
Wrestlemania night 2: Roman holding the championships triumphantly. *Cue Theory music Roman looks confused and then No Chance in Hell plays Vince walks out holding Theory's former MITB briefcase Vince hands him the briefcase and Theory cashes in and wins.
15:50 If that was the case, Vince wouldn’t have threatened WWE to let him come back, and replace two board people so he can gain more power, and WWE responded back that they have more private information that could be leaked about Vince If this was just about selling the company, their is no need to be this aggressive, crack open the entire company and make it look like a war
I think so too. I think him selling it is his way of him saying I either am in control or I’ll sell it. He didn’t like those returns on his tv every week and saying I fired those sobs!! Why the hell are they back?
The more I think about it, the more I get the feeling Amazon may buy the WWE. The streaming platform, sales outlet, & logistics create a perfect synergy between the 2. Peacock/NBC/Universal makes a lot of sense of course, and I can't rule out Fox, but I really wouldn't be surprised to see Amazon make a big run.
It might be nothing there are rumours that the Bellator MMA promotion is on the market. If Paramount is looking to get out of the MMA game they might be looking to get into wrestling.
The buyer will probably be the Saudi crown Prince Mohammed bin Salmon, he is in charge of Saudi Arabia’s public investment fund, RB sports & media and pcp capital partners. This is the group that are in contact with Vince and are the ones that organise the Crown Jewels events, boxing events in Saudi and own the English soccer team Newcastle United and 5 billion dollars is peanuts to them.
The timing for selling WWE is not great because the cost of debt is substantially higher than it was almost anytime in the last decade. So whoever buys the company will have to adjust the valuation for the company to reflect that a bit unless they do not plan to borrow to make the purchase. WWE could be a nice roll up for an entertainment company like a broadcasting network for its sports streaming service or maybe another channel.
I have always said Amazon makes most sense. WWE network can run through Prime. WWE Shop will be ran through Amazon to help with shipping of goods, and WWE studios also can be connected
Even Cornette thinks its hilarious that Vince decided to cash in his MITB briefcase and steal a Board seat
Holy shit I fell out my seat laughing 😂

@@L1am21 Not until 2001,
@@OmegaRedFan nah he apparently owned it in the 80s as like part somthing else like nwa then sold it to someone who the sold it to Ted Turner.
@@CoolCamo oh ok I stand corrected.
Vince was never gonna just retire and laze about. This is classic Vince.
With the quickness though on the upload, thought I’d be waiting until at least Saturday night for this.
I'm pretty sure that most of us fans knew that vince was gonna make his way back no matter what
Vince is gonna end up being a real life head in a jar just like Futurama
"watch Nick Khan quit"
Well there it is, Brian's latest prophecy. And since he's been on a roll so now we just wait.
Ooohhh, this will be interesting
And now the main event of Wrestlemania will be Brock vs Roman
For the 105th time
Vince is a sith lord
He didn't book himself as "the high power" for nothing dammit!
@@The__Gent just as bad as him returning in the last skywalker
Vince's 90 day no compete clause is up.
Thanks for getting this up so quickly, Jim and Brian!
Every time you laugh with the dramatic music, it makes me laugh. 😂 Oh, and "Da People."
Da People
The real winners here are the WWE stock holders : +69% YTD
The rest is history. nothing has changed, nothing will.
For now. Wait until NBC and Fox start getting dragged in the media for doing business with a guy accused of sexual assault.
If WWE is sold it would be the first time, in wrestling history, that a company was sold while being successful. Every time a company was sold to someone else, things were dire - NWA, WCW, ECW, NJPW, ROH, TNA, etc. They've turned in record profits year after year. Whoever buys it is going to pay a fortune for it.
Disney could sell John Cena Mickey Mouse merchandise
I hope they don't sell personally, really at the end of the day thats all I care about. Even so, if they do, hopefully it just makes more competition organizations because whoever buys will probably just ruin it more.
Wrestlemania night 2: Roman holding the championships triumphantly.
*Cue Theory music
Roman looks confused and then No Chance in Hell plays
Vince walks out holding Theory's former MITB briefcase
Vince hands him the briefcase and Theory cashes in and wins.
That be a great way to drive the price down on Wwe!
Thanks guys. Needed Jim and Brian's take on this madness. Thank fuck for Corny's breaking news.
On the Saudis being a hypothetical buyer, we might actually get a legit mark owning the company lmfao
Last place I would expect to hear about the Bobby Bonilla Mets contract but here we are
15:50
If that was the case, Vince wouldn’t have threatened WWE to let him come back, and replace two board people so he can gain more power, and WWE responded back that they have more private information that could be leaked about Vince
If this was just about selling the company, their is no need to be this aggressive, crack open the entire company and make it look like a war
He’s not going to sell it. He’s coming back, coming back to do what he did before.
I think so too. I think him selling it is his way of him saying I either am in control or I’ll sell it. He didn’t like those returns on his tv every week and saying I fired those sobs!! Why the hell are they back?
I agree. Vince is swerving them just like the other Vince. Vince is taking back his company J.R. Ewing-style.
Vince is really the ultimate wrestling villain.
The more I think about it, the more I get the feeling Amazon may buy the WWE. The streaming platform, sales outlet, & logistics create a perfect synergy between the 2. Peacock/NBC/Universal makes a lot of sense of course, and I can't rule out Fox, but I really wouldn't be surprised to see Amazon make a big run.
I am thinking NBC. Because universal is building a wwe theme park down in Florida.
It might be nothing there are rumours that the Bellator MMA promotion is on the market. If Paramount is looking to get out of the MMA game they might be looking to get into wrestling.
The buyer will probably be the Saudi crown Prince Mohammed bin Salmon, he is in charge of Saudi Arabia’s public investment fund, RB sports & media and pcp capital partners. This is the group that are in contact with Vince and are the ones that organise the Crown Jewels events, boxing events in Saudi and own the English soccer team Newcastle United and 5 billion dollars is peanuts to them.
IVE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS FOR OVER 24 HOURS
What group is led by Eh-Rawd and Jay-low??
Hearing “media rights” as “meteorites” for the first twenty minutes 😢
2:45 I love how they say, "Mr. Mcmahon is electing himself" as if this is an angle they are writing for the next episode of RAW.
The timing for selling WWE is not great because the cost of debt is substantially higher than it was almost anytime in the last decade. So whoever buys the company will have to adjust the valuation for the company to reflect that a bit unless they do not plan to borrow to make the purchase. WWE could be a nice roll up for an entertainment company like a broadcasting network for its sports streaming service or maybe another channel.
Timing is also bad due to crippling losses to streaming services
@@ronniejdio9411 Good point
I have always said Amazon makes most sense. WWE network can run through Prime. WWE Shop will be ran through Amazon to help with shipping of goods, and WWE studios also can be connected
This is turning into a season of Succession
