Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 18, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2023 44 minutes ago, Nick James said: Rich business man in being a cunt shocker, who would have thought?. Anyone who previously, until that comment, thought Nick Khan was a lovable Uncle that was there to make the product better and put old Vince down like Old Yeller, needs to pull their head out, he's out for himself, as is Vince and every other million/billionaire out there. To be fair, I don't think anyone thought that - at least, not on here. It's more that he was a neutral, "grey" character who was seen as a bit ruthless, coming from the world of legit business, and now he's gone and outed himself as a cunt.

Butch2000 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 9 hours ago, Hannibal Scorch said: WWF and AEW booking > Impact booking. Eric Young being killed off on Impact was the worst cheese No one mentioned Impact. It’d probably be rapey Vince for helming a company which went from ice cold to hot at the start of the year.

Daddymagic Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Nothing says totally innocent like paying out millions of dollars for something that happened 30+ years ago - - Vince McMahon has agreed to a multimillion-dollar legal settlement with Rita Chatterton who accused him of raping her in 1986, according to people familiar with the agreement. McMahon’s settlement with Rita Chatterton was completed last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMahon’s settlement with Rita Chatterton was completed last month. When news broke at the end of last year about him returning the stories about Rita Chatterton and the massage parlor manager(?) came to light. Due in part to the law changes that were about to happening. After so long it was unlikely either one would be successful in a criminal prosecution. I figured he'd get the chequebook out to pay them to go away. -------------- The Wall Street Journal article. https://www.wsj.com/articles/wwes-vince-mcmahon-settles-with-ex-wrestling-referee-who-accused-him-of-rape-11674149751 Edited January 19, 2023 by Infinity Land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 It’s quite refreshing in a weird way that the person assaulted is actually believed. Although I’m sure there are plenty of WWE fanboys giving it the old “He settled because he didn’t want the hassle” like Prince Andrew and Michael Jackson did.

Paid Members air_raid Posted January 19, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted January 19, 2023 Just think, WWF Magazine promised an article about “the truth” about Rita (among other scandals) at the end of a hatchet job they printed about Billy Graham in 93. Imagine spinning that one to Vince’s favour??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted January 20, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted January 20, 2023 If, and that's sadly a massive 'if', any of it did go to court do we think Vince would a) Act like he did during Off The Record and become aggressive and confrontational because he's not used to people telling him what a shit he is or b) go a full hybrid of the steroid trial / Harvey Weinstein and come in with a walking frame trying to look frail?

Guest Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 The latter, then as he left the building he'd go for the Willy Wonka routine only to rip both quads, tumble down the steps and have a heart attack before reaching the bottom.

The Gaffer Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Story breaking in a few outlets - such as Bloomberg - that $9 billion is the current asking price, with UFC owners Endeavour now an interested party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 From what I've gleaned by interacting with a few clickbait-y sites, that asking price is around $2-3bn more than their current share value. Could this confirm a theory that Vince actually isn't after selling at all and has simply sought to return himself to the show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Is that arguably not that much of an asking price though? It's definitely not pricing them out of a sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Given all the major trades recently, $9bn doesn’t seem crazy right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You normally have to pay a bit above the stock market value to buy a whole company. If you're buying, say, 10% of shares it doesn't matter who you buy them from so nobody can charge you above the market rate. If you're trying to buy the whole company people can charge you extra because people know it's much better for you to get all 100% of the shares rather than just have a majority but still have to deal with other stockholders.
