Isn't he trying to set up some kind of sports/entertainment promotion company?

I knew he was initially trying to set up an amateur wrestling promotion, but I didn't know about a general promotion.

He set-up a private investment firm that goes by 14th&1. Some of his old WWE Board cronies took up roles. Doubt they'll end up doing much of note beyond being a vanity project and a way of avoiding tax.

I thought that was Hogan and Bischoff?

Doh! Course it was. They're all a bunch of cunts anyway.

As we all know. The best friends are those we... buy literally everything for just so they spend an hour or two with us.

Not shocking in the end, and understandable if Janel Grant didn't want to go through the ordeal of the court case, but I do hope the potential dismissal doesn't lead to Vince being welcomed back into the fold. Sadly, I suspect that is inevitable.

I get why you'd think that, but it doesn't strike me as inevitable - bear in mind, TKO are not Vince's underlings, they're a massive company that just paid him $7bn+ dollars to own WWE. They wouldn't have paid him all that just to bring him back and put up with all his bullshit, which he would most definitely bring. They already make money hand over fist without really having to do anything because of the brand recognition, and VKM coming back would just disrupt that with his dated, weirdo, old-psycho booking quirks and ego-driven power-plays. I don't think Ari Emanuel of all people would tolerate that.

I hope you're right. But I can definitely see him being wheeled out for a HOF induction etc, which itself is bad enough if it happens.

Yeah I definitely think bringing Vince back would be a headache for them while at the moment they can basically do whatever they want. I doubt Vince would be too happy about some of the stuff they're doing.

It'd definitely be a 'too many cooks' type deal unless they felt things weren't working and they somehow needed him for something.

I think Nick Khan and Triple H clearly wanted shot of Vince before the Janel Grant suit anyway. If they were to bring him back, it would be a guest appearance for the Hall of Fame or Wrestlemania, and then the question is whether Vince's ego would be happy to appear for the company without owning it - and I don't see that happening at all.
