Probably did it to drum up an extra ratings boost for Smackdown tonight where he does the proper speech. Or... Quote

The Gaffer Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Something's coming, for sure. He may be a primeval, creatively atrophied weirdo to us but by all accounts WWE's big investors still see him as the anchor that connects their world to his. So this is a massive move for them. What a damnable fizzle out it's all been, though. It's not what's important, I know, but as a wrestling fan I've always tried to imagine loads in the past how or when Vince would either step down or croak it. How it would be the biggest story since Montreal and Benoit. And it's a wet fart of a tweet on a Friday evening after weeks of more cold buckets of water thrown over your own fandom growing up, because the feds are most likely about to kick the fucker's door in.

d-d-d-dAz Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 It would bring me immense satisfaction to learn that Triple H leaked all these stories and got the old man neutered. Say what you want about him as a performer, the fact that when he got binned off pretty much every one of the current generation of talent spoke so highly of him suggests he’s an alright egg. Even those chewed up and spat out by the system seemed to say how great he was. Quote
Paid Members Supremo Posted July 22, 2022 Paid Members Posted July 22, 2022 I laughed. Shitposter to the very end. Quote
Paid Members Nick James Posted July 22, 2022 Paid Members Posted July 22, 2022 I was just about to post that I can't wait to see what Tony says this evening. That is actually quite a good one. Fair play, Tone. Quote
Keith Houchen Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 I bet Vince is going mental over that Tony Sniff tweet. Bet he wants to proper fight him in a flat roof pub car park. Quote

Start of comic con weekend where a massive overlap of his target audience and media will be spamming updates from that. Great time to attempt to bury bad news. The old ghoul is going to get accused of something horrendous Quote
The Gaffer Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Full statement from WWE corporate. STAMFORD, Conn., July 22, 2022 – Vince McMahon today released the following statement: “As I approach 77 years old, I feel it’s time for me to retire as Chairman and CEO of WWE. Throughout the years, it’s been a privilege to help WWE bring you joy, inspire you, thrill you, surprise you, and always entertain you. I would like to thank my family for mightily contributing to our success, and I would also like to thank all of our past and present Superstars and employees for their dedication and passion for our brand. Most importantly, I would like to thank our fans for allowing us into your homes every week and being your choice of entertainment. I hold the deepest appreciation and admiration for our generations of fans all over the world who have liked, currently like, and sometimes even love our form of Sports Entertainment. “Our global audience can take comfort in knowing WWE will continue to entertain you with the same fervor, dedication, and passion as always. I am extremely confident in the continued success of WWE, and I leave our company in the capable hands of an extraordinary group of Superstars, employees, and executives – in particular, both Chairwoman and Co-CEO Stephanie McMahon and Co-CEO Nick Khan. As the majority shareholder, I will continue to support WWE in any way I can. My personal thanks to our community and business partners, shareholders, and Board of Directors for their guidance and support through the years. Then. Now. Forever. Together.” He's done it! Triple H gets his old job back only to be pipped to his destiny at the last second. This business. Edited July 22, 2022 by Gay as FOOK Quote
Infinity Land Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 I can see him thinking he'll step away. This will blow over. He returns as the saviour to boost ratings. Quote
d-d-d-dAz Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Co-CEO’s neither work or last very long. That’s a pretty solid rule of business. You can’t have two chiefs. Quote
SaitoRyo Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 And former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is in the crowd at SummerSlam tonight! Quote
Guest Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 He's still the majority shareholder, so it's not like he's out of power Quote
