What if WWE is intentionally becoming super infected so that all wrestling in Florida gets shut down including AEW because they think AEW won't survive not being on TV for a few months.

It's ok, they gave Britt a perspex box.

If this truly is the end of Taker's career, it's absolutely hilarious how badly he hosed up not retiring years ago after a big Wrestlemania match and an arena of fans cheering him and instead having his last match be a taped affair and his sendoff being a bunch of wrestlers chanting for him in an empty gym while they wonder if they have a deadly virus.

I saw AJ and Doc Gallows fighting Taker around a motorcycle and suddenly I had this image of an Aces & Eights vs Disciples of Apocalypse gang war and thought about a TEW game but then remembered half of those guys are literal nazis.

Okay, this is just dreaming, but let's pretend that it gets SOOOOO bad that Vince sells WWE (or at least his majority stocks) as a means to throw the fire at someone else, who would buy it? I can only think of three: Shad Khan because that would be hilarious to me or either Disney or Amazon because they are soulless enitities trying to fill a void that can never be fulfilled.

Laughing forever at the idea of Triple H kissing rear end literally almost his entire life for WWE only to be kicked out by the new owners.

I've said it before but I think people grossly overrate the value of WWE when they theorize about Disney or Amazon buying them. Its a rapidly declining circus with mountains of scandals and problems, that openly violates labor law, that has decades of racism and abuse and murder attached. It seems like an absolute quagmire for a major corporation to buy that would cost a ton of extra money to modernize and bring up to code and suddenly people would care because people who don't care about WWE DO care about Disney. And all for a business that's struggling to figure out how to turn around momentum even with their industry experience.

The WWE library ain't worth that much. If it was the Network would be doing better.

If WWE sold it would get bought, but I think it would be a MUCH less impressive sale. Look at what happened to WCW.

They won't get away with it if they're Disney or Amazon, though. WWE gets away with it because they're a joke and no one besides wrestling fans care if they live or die or even really remember they exist most of the time. Disney is a massive global corporation that has political and corporate enemies and competitors and if they run a subsidiary that is riddled with the problems WWE is, especially legal labor questions but also all the scandals and abuses, someone's gonna make a thing of that and its gonna stick.

Nothing WWE has ever done is more criminal than Amazon's continuing treatment of warehouse workers, up to and including killing Owen Hart. Amazon kills its workers due to negligence/outright malice like, quarterly.

But they're seeing conflict and fighting it and they're doing it because they're turning massive profits.

WWE ain't remotely worth the hassle. That's what wrestling fans don't get, I think. Its a niche product.

I'm sorry that you've never looked at WWE's quarterly reports and don't understand that Amazon gets away with abusing their employees every day with no repercussions.

Amazon or Disney could and have gotten away with labor abuse far worse than WWE.

They won't buy it though because its not really going to push numbers on any of their streaming services and they can't turn it into a synergistic media empire because that's what wwe has tried for years and keeps failing to do. Also Disney is supposedly done with buying up properties for a while, no idea if that's actually true.

Edit: I just looked and so far Disney hasn't moved from saying they're reopening parks in July.

A quick search says WWE made $291 million in Q1 2020 and Amazon made $75.5 billion.

You're pretending I'm ignoring or defending Amazon's practices when I'm saying WWE isn't worth the hassle for the comparatively tiny amount of return they'd bring.

As Gumball said the only real value I see WWE have is as a streaming library and the WWE Network is actively proving that's not a worthwhile investment.
