Contrary to an old radio & TV staple from back in the day, father doesn't always know best, but when that father is Vince McMahon, too stubborn to accept change for the better, well.......!
Daughter Stephanie stepped down as co-CEO of WWE today, leaving the position solely in the hands of Nick Khan, who has been with the company since August 2020. The elder McMahon plans to sell the company, with rumors linking Disney, NBC-Universal-Comcast, Fox, and even a Saudi Arabian group, to the prospective sale.

Despite the fact that his departure was the result of allegations of sexual misconduct dating back to the 80's when he stepped down in July, Vince might've been feeling a little twinge of jealousy over how well Khan, Stephanie, and Paul "Triple H" Levesque were running things, and after a plan to return in December was shot down by the Board of Directors, McMahon returned last week, bringing with him former officers George Berrios & Michele Wilson to join the Board, with Vince McMahon formally named Executive Chairman.
Fans are already afraid that the work of the last 6-plus months could be undone. Stay tuned.
===========================================
Conservative scum like Charlie Kirk & Tabloid Carlson tried linking the cardiac event that sidelined Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin a week ago with vaccines to combat COVID-19.
NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar isn't having it.
In an article on Substack, Abdul-Jabbar referenced Kirk & Carlson as two of the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", and put them on blast for their baseless, unsubstantiated claims.
I wouldn't mind seeing him hang those two dweebs and some anti-vaccine proponents out to dry in a public forum.

In the end, both the Mets and San Francisco were played for fools.
After questions about a 2014 injury derailed contracts with the Mets & Giants, Carlos Correa will return to Minnesota, and who knows? Maybe that was Scott Boras Badenov's plan all along, to string everyone else along while convincing the small market Twins to pony up to keep Correa in Minneapolis.
And with the new schedule taking effect this season, Correa will be booed out of the building if the Twins visit San Francisco or Citi Field.
===============================================

I don't follow wrestling, but it sounds to me like Vince got a visit from the green-eyed monster. Vince can't stand not being the center of attention or the fact that Paul and Stephanie have been doing a better job running things than he did.
ReplyDeleteWell, he is pals with Trump, so it fits.
