Sources might be old regarding McMahon's standing in the company.

 

Quote

Despite stepping down from his position as executive chairman and board member of TKO Group Holdings, McMahon still owns stock in the company, according to executive Mark Shapiro. He said in the company's fourth quarter earnings call it is not dictating what he plans to do with the stock.

 

"He’ll do whatever he’s going to do, and we’re all on the sideline," Shapiro said. "We’ll have a look, we’ll see. We have no idea on timing. We’re not having any discussion with him. He’s given us no point of view on his motive or his plans to sell or not sell, or if he does, how much. So, we’re going to wait around and find out just like you."

 

In its filings to the SEC, TKO also said McMahon "controls a significant portion of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of the company’s common stock." The company also said McMahon plans to reimburse the company the amount of money it spent on a special committee to investigate allegations made against McMahon. By the end 2023, McMahon had reimbursed the company $5.8 million.

From the same site as above. We know that military/army likes to cover things up regarding these things. Just look at the videos from youtube with interviews regarding military in this:

In 2006, Massaro said that she was raped by someone representing himself as a U.S. Army doctor while WWE was doing a tour in 2006. In a sworn affidavit her lawyer released in 2019, Massaro said WWE executives like McMahon and Laurinaitus knew about the reported rape and told the star not to release any details about it.

Vince has sold off $400 Million in TKO stock.

 

Quote

Vince McMahon has $400 million more in cash to spend after the embattled former executive chair and board member of TKO Group  (TKO) , which is the parent company of WWE, just sold 5.35 million shares of his TKO stock, which is about 25% of his stake at the company, according to a new filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

...

TKO also revealed in the filing that McMahon will be replaced by TKO CEO Ariel Emanuel as executive chair on the board of directors.

McMahon still has a stake at the company of about 8 to 9% and still holds voting power which still allows him to vote on corporate actions such as electing new board members, or starting new mergers or acquisitions.

If you you all missed Friday's Rock Concert then here it is. The only thing that was missing was Jerry The King Lawler's hysterical laughing. Some ideas were thrown around that Roman Reigns is going to turn on The Rock at the same time when Seth Rollins turns on Cody Rhodes. Maybe a The Shield reunion?

 

EDIT: The Rock slips up and says Mama Reigns 1 time during his Mama Rhodes segment lol.

 

EDIT AGAIN: Just thought about it. When The Rock says that that the belt is going to stay on Roman Reigns actually is a comma missing. Means that that belt is going to stay around my cousin, Roman Reigns. Like telling Roman that the belt will be on one of Rock's other cousins!

Dude, yall have yo watch this new CM Punk interview. He spills all about AEW, apparently an NDA was never a thing for him. He asked to be released, Tony said NO. So he quit but Tony framed it as a firing 

 

Also, apparently Jack Perry was just being a pure dick to everybody the whole day prior to the incident and almost caused a situation where uber drivers didnt want to deal with AEW talent. He also confirms they did infact leave him stranded in a foreign country

They had already announced his sponsorship weeks ago and how his brand will be on the mat during the PLEs

 

To be completely honest it's not a total eyesore and it's not as ostentatious as one might think. Would still prefer it not to be there but I aint running a business

Dunno if the AEW merchandising department is tone deaf or trying to be cute, but cmon now LOL

I don't play super close attention to wrestling but this shirt isn't new. It's been out for months. I didn't even get why this was thing at first. I guess Rock said "Final Boss" recently and people think it's a rip off of that. This whole thing comes off as wrestling fans looking for shit to bitch about. "Final Boss" is generic.  I know Miro had "Final Boss" shirt in AEW years ago. Now if someone is using something specific like "The Excellence of Execution" then by all means give em' hell. There is always wild shit going in Pro Wrestling no need to invent shit to get mad about.

True about the originality of the "Final Boss" term (although still not as overplayed as "Best in the World"), but the timing of the shirt's release does seem very sus, especially since it was shortly after The Rock started addressing himself as "The Final Boss". Which is kinda par for the course in AEW Land recently, as they seem to be pretty reactionary to a lot of things happening across the street. Take a look at CM Punk's most recent interview with Ariel Helwani (trashing AEW, Tony Khan, and the All In incident). Now TK has Edge cutting promos about how swell the environment is in AEW and now they're having the Young Bucks release video footage of the All In incident with Punk and Perry. LOL VEEEEY petty people

That shirt dropped in January. That logic makes no sense man. Wrestling fans are just as bad as Democrats and Republicans. Tribalism at it's finest. The CM Punk/Tony Khan situation is something to actually talk about. That's a real story with a lot of meat on the bone. Yet people are talking about 3 month old Samoa Joe T-Shirt as a rip off something The Rock said 2 months after Joe's shirt released. Samoa Joe wasn't even the first AEW wrestler with a Final Boss T-shirt. It's just stupid. Miro had the shirt 3 years ago. Like why is this even a thing at all?

Pretty tame by AA standards.  But WWE has been ALOT more laxed since Vince got kicked out. Once they go into the Netflix era, you probably see them allow even more crazy shit on the shows

 Cody vs AJ @ Clash at the Castle actually had some blood spots. Not as crazy as your regular Moxley match, but kinda surprising for it to happen in a WWE match
