My assumption though is the Saudi’s are being floated out so NBC Universal has to make an idiotic bid for them. Had they not scrapped the WWE Network then I could see the Saudi’s being the best option if the Saudi’s buy them then where will Raw and Smackdown go.

My conspiracy is that the Saudi’s are so “toxic” that the shareholders will find it a relief only to deal with Vince’s stuff.

Don’t they still use the wwe network internationally??

It could be reborn quite easily. The bones are built

No clue, I don’t give two shits about international and neither would the Saudi’s. America is always where everyone will make the most money

One of only 2 places in the world where the Iron Sheik is an even bigger heel.

Just seems strange that the Saudis would want to get involved in wrestling.

They have huge events there. The people love it


And second, wwe is a huge cash cow. A billion dollar company with decades of IP to be used and sold and partnered with Hollywood

That is out of my element. Seems like it would take a little more than just turning it back on, but I don’t know. It does seem almost ridiculous that if it is actually going to sell that NBC wouldn’t massively overspend. Saudi’s may have more money but NBC, should, be desperate in trying to acquire them. The tv rights bubble is going to be bursting soon and it is a hell of a lot better to own content rather that going the way the Disney is with ESPN or the cluster fuck that the Paramount/Discovery is going.

US companies selling to foreign nations are a travesty. Especially to China, Saudi, etc. Fuck those shitty leaders. Fuck greedy pricks.

Disney owning the WWE ...what would that be like.

2 wrestlers and a therapist in the ring helping them end thier abuse of one another?

Which part? There is a television bubble that is going to burst very soon. Or the part where Disney has been trying to offload ESPN.

Does this mean that the Iron Sheik and Hulk Hogan will be coming out of retirement, but this time with Sheik as the face and Hogan as the heel?
