They originally did announce the UK tournament that's about to start as King of the Ring, but that's been dropped from any mentions since.

I've decided, when Vince steps down/dies/whatever, I want George Barrios to take over WWE instead of Hunter and Steph, because I like his head.

To be honest, I like WWE more when it's bad because I barely watch wrestling anymore and it's funnier to read about it being terrible

This is the key here. I haven't been able to watch in a few weeks because of life things but one thing I learned is I really love reading the discussion threads for shows when the show is bad. It means I don't have to watch because in my head I'm making it even worse.

Likewise here. WWE these days is just completely not my cup of rasslin' tea any more, so even the occasional hilariously bad or insane moments aren't enough to get me to tune in. Instead I just live vicariously through goons by reading their comments as the :staredog: :gonk: :psyduck: moments occur on screen.

Personally I think it owns that Vince McMahon just does whatever he wants no matter how much it sucks rear end, and is rewarded with truckloads of money.

They get poo poo for tonedeaf and offensive segments, for paying lip service to the oppressive Saudi Regime, for ignoring the fans very vocal reactions to their product, and for all that criticism they get a record profits and a more prominent place in media. Billions of dollars, show on network TV, wife finally got a job in politics like she wanted, Vince got it all.

XFL sounds like a terrible idea so my guess is that in 10 years its the #1 sport league in the country.

All the recent shows have been overruns because they can then point to how much longer people have been watching the network to the investors. Every year they're going to make the PPVs just a little longer.
