Vince McMahon sells WWE to Endeavor Holdings Group. This is why we can't have nice things

 During Wrestlemania weekend, WWE Executive Chairman/head nutcase Vince McMahon, sporting the world's weakest mustache, sold the company to Endeavor Holdings Group, the parent company of UFC. McMahon remains Executive Chairman. Ari Emanuel, CEO of Endeavor, will retain that title, which means WWE CEO Nick Khan will once again be President of WWE, opposite UFC President Dana White.

Endeavor released the following on Monday:

There are positives and negatives in this deal.

Positive: This opens up the possibility of crossovers between UFC & WWE. Brock Lesnar has held titles with both promotions, and while he's going to be busy for a bit, I wouldn't rule out his returning to UFC as a commentator or brand ambassador. Bobby Lashley competed for UFC's biggest rival, Bellator. Ronda Rousey, like Lesnar, has championships on her resume with both UFC & WWE, and could open the door on the women's side for best friend and tag team partner Shayna Baszler, as well as Sonya Deville.

Both promotions have television under the Disney umbrella (ESPN revived Ultimate Fighter last year), which makes a crossover even more likely.

Negative: McMahon's wrinkled fingerprints were all over Raw last night and during Sunday's Wrestlemania card. How else to explain Lesnar swerving the audience and turning on Cody Rhodes just as the TV main event was set to start last night? How else to explain Roman Reigns remaining champion via cheating on Sunday? Morale is said to have been down since Sunday.

It's because McMahon, who will be 78 in August, can't leave well enough alone. 8 1/2 months after leaving, and 2 1/2 since returning, he was back in charge of Raw last night, making last minute changes before and during the show.

Ari Emanuel, what were you thinking??

I can answer that myself. McMahon's ego got in the way as usual. Seems that he sold Emanuel a bill of goods, conniving his way back into control because he couldn't stand the prosperity of WWE under his son-in-law, Paul "Triple H" Levesque, who had to answer questions about Reigns' latest tainted title defense following Sunday's card. McMahon was bored being retired. All the progress Levesque has made in the women's division is virtually undone, as Bayley & Asuka, two proud former champions, have both indicated taking time off after losses over the weekend. Bayley was a last minute scratch last night.

For conning Emanuel, and screwing over his audience for the bazillionth time, McMahon gets another set of Weasel ears, something he hasn't gotten in years.

It could be worse. After Power Slap bombed on TBS during the winter, White could land it on USA or ESPN.
