He’s not just out as CEO either.



Man I hope Kevin Dunn forced talent to have sex with him too.

Dunn getting fired would be the cherry on the sundae. No more epileptic camera cuts.

In case you were thinking this company was going to improve without Vince…

I know they have to pivot quickly here but yuck. That would be even worse than Lesnar-Reigns 80.

What an insane day in pro wrestling. The end of our childhood basically.

Vince caved. He didn't get to go out in his own terms. That is going to kill him.

His own terms would be dying of a heart attack at 108 years old while sitting backstage at gorilla probably yelling at Michael Cole while he calls the Lesnar/Reigns Wrestlemania 69 match.

Yep I’m guessing he did leave and then I wouldn’t be surprised if Vince himself called him and convinced him to stay. Probably said something like “it’s a work, pal. I’ll be back when everything blows over.”

Ricky Starks is so good. I'm not sure if he still has neck issues or what but he should have been pushed a lot sooner.

It sounds like FTR-Briscoes 2 may have been even better than their first match. Gonna need to check that out.

Yeah that’ll do it. Sexually assault/harass anybody you want, hell pay them off with your own hush money. But don’t you dare defraud investors.

Apparently Triple H is taking over creative despite all the talk about Bruce Pritchard being promoted to said position the other day.

So he's in charge of creative and talent relations. Could be an interesting dynamic there.

Pritchard and Dunn must realize that their days are numbered. The good news is Something to Wrestle With might actually be interesting again.

Pritchard could probably evolve with Haitch. Dunn has been past his expiration date for a while.

Damn, WWE stock is surging. I was hoping it’d be down and buy some up.

I don't know if you've ever listened to Prichard's podcast, but he's very much stuck in a bygone era. I guess as long as he isn't anywhere near creative he might be okay. But WWE would be a better product if they get rid of all of Vince's former yes-men as well.

Listened to Something to Wrestle early on before it became full on commercials with some show thrown in. While Pritchard would heavily defend decisions I always thought it came with a grain of salt because he knew Vince was the golden goose and wanted back in his good graces. Bruce seems like a guy who will brown nose whomever he needs to. He also seems to have a good feel for the business in general but, again, knew he had to stay in line to keep or regain his post.

Edit: I got that feeling based on how he had no issues going hard at Russo or Cornett when they were in the fold.

Prichard is a carny with a bad creative "who booked this ****" track record. He might be okay in talent relation roles, though a lot of former wrestlers have zero love for him. Let's not forget, he lost his job the first time around because he showed up to work high and pulled a gun.

His biggest asset to Vince was kissing his ass and saying "yes."

Sounds American as hell! All new blood couldn’t hurt either though. It’s been obvious for a while that Vince was surrounded by sycophants who just wanted to keep their cushy jobs.

:lol: I say I want new blood but then you look over at the issues AEW are having right now and you realize that people with wrestling experience in the executive office is a necessity.
