Flyin' Brian Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Vince just sold 5.3 million shares of TKO stock for $411,950,000 dollars. That’s only 1/4 of the stock he owns. I’m sure there is some type of noncompete agreement in place, and I’m definitely not saying he should with all the legal and moral issues. But the question still crossed my mind.

Jmare007 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 If this was 2010 I'd say yes but he's too fucking old (I mean, in 2010 too but these last 14 years he finally started to age and slow down) to start from scratch and he's too much of a control freak to just be "the money guy". So thankfully, I don't see him coming back to the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Wolfe Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I think he's more likely to buy a brothel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 He might be delusional enough to try, but there is zero chance he would actually succeed. You need a TV deal to be successful at all but the lowest levels and no media company will touch him with a ten-foot pole at this point.

You’d think so but we live in an age where the rich and powerful have 9 lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migs Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 He's got enough money that he assuredly could buy any of the existing second-tier companies, although most of them already seem like vanity projects. I guess not TNA, although I really can't imagine Vince going that direction. If he were to do anything, I think it'd be a new company. I actually do think he could get decent TV of some sort based on his reputation. The bigger question is who he could get to be the lynchpin? Brock?

Control21 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Very doubtful. Vince's ego is too big for him to start from scratch, and in today's world, I doubt any major TV company would want to touch him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Vince = pro wrestling to 99% of TV execs, and WWE has been a top ratings draw for cable forever, so I wouldn't put it past some TV company giving him a flier. However I would think he's going to have his hands full defending the lawsuits to be starting any new businesses wrestling related or otherwise.

Scarlet-Left Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Not that I'm comparing the two as human beings, but I think it would be interesting (if only in terms of morbid curiosity) to see him try to do something like Jim Crockett, Jr. did with the WWN.

pmo Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Yeah he’s too old and not really with it anyone. As mentioned 15-20 years ago it’s probably likely but not today with trials and such coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
