I should be surprised that it took Vince five days to piss away all goodwill the WWE had. I should...but I'm not.

a corporation doesn't make mistakes, only the people do, and it's hard to see this backfiring on the people making this decision (vince, who wants his money and to run the company until he rots in his seat) - so who is it a mistake for? perhaps the saudis if they're not able to maximise the profits and end up taking a bath on it? but they are happy to take a bath in exchange for being ingratiated in western culture

As in I see the company WWE having less lifespan long term under Saudi ownership. So for the Saudis I guess but also everyone in WWE that isn't going to be filthy rich from the deal

i think if there is a line in the sand anyone in wrestling might actually draw, ownership by a government who is very pro-your-genocide might be it. but I'm not putting the odds at 50% or anything

he's allowed to have nothing to do with the shows under the current regime. being business partners and actual ownership is a different deal. again, I don't even put it at higher than 50%. but I do see the possibility of why he might feel a way

I mean I agree it's not a mistake by the standards of the board of directors/Vince's objectives. They're gonna make a lot of money.

But I literally said "WWE" as in the company as a whole not "the higher ups at the WWE." The company as a whole will make less money and have less influence over time with this buy I think even if they're making bank now. Like we're arguing a point I was not interested in making.

Its kinda like how WWE bought WCW and then did nothing with it. WCW decision makers were happy with it but I believe WCW as a brand would have made a lot more money had the sale never taken place, even with debt issues and sliding ratings and all that considered.

The pedantry is saying "mistake" was the important word when "WWE" was the important word. It is a bad decision for the company's lifespan and long-term profitability, but a good decision for the decision makers in the deal because they're getting that money. ANYWAY.

And yes I do think WCW would have figured something out with a different buyer. That's all theory but I do think the brand had a lot value then-- people had a longer memory than 2 years.

Miz's longest is his 5th reign at 188 days, the 19th longest of all time.

Jericho's longest is only 111 days (his 8th), which sits at #39
