A number of potential buyers have already come into the limelight, there are even rumours of a potential Saudi takeover. Other potential buyers include the names like Disney and Amazon.
Chavo Guerrero Discusses If Vince McMahon Actually Wants To Sell WWE
Most of the fans are really unhappy with these rumours. Fans are really scared of the potential Saudi takeover since the Saudis have real issues with human rights. If WWE actually gets sold to Saudi owners, all these women’s Revolution stuff will go meaningless at the end.
It is being said that Vince McMahon only returned to make sure a smooth sell process of WWE. McMahon earned a lot of respect for making WWE what it is today. But after these rumours are floating around the world of professional wrestling, is losing all his respects and certainly he is one of the most hated men in the world of pro wrestling today.
Chavo Guerrero who is also a former ECW World Champion recently spoke to Wrestling Inc where he talked about the potential sell rumours of WWE and discussed if Vince McMahon actually wants to sell the promotion. He said;
“Gosh, that’s a great question. I wish I could tell you yes, no. I would never have believed it five months ago. Now I’m like, all these offers, and Saudi and then Disney … the Khans maybe buying it, which I would not want to see because it’d be back to a monopoly of one person. I love the fact that we have two companies and two different CEOs, and it’s better for wrestling, it’s better for the fans, it’s better for the wrestlers.
“I think wrestling had never been bigger than the Monday Night Wars. The ratings were so huge and everyone was buzzing about both companies. I’d love to see it get back to that part again. I love the fact that Jericho and the Jericho Appreciation Society showed up in LA at one of those shows. What was that? PWG or one of those? I was like, ‘He’s a smart dude,’ that was very cool to see Tony Khan to let them do that.
“I mean, it was genius, it’s awesome. I love it. Some of the people are wrestling in Japan. It’s such a cool dynamic. Remember back in the day, you would see the WWF Champion, Bob Backlund, wrestle NWA champion Harley Race … in a different country. You would see that stuff. You don’t see it anymore. That’d be amazing to see MJF versus Roman Reigns … It’d be pretty cool.
“So man, I want to tell you that I knew something more than what you guys know, but I would never have believed it ever. When they said that Vince was coming back to get the company sold, I was like, ‘There’s no way he’s going to sell the company.’ Because he built this thing, he took it from over from his dad, but completely changed the structure and the business model of wrestling.
“He completely changed wrestling. So I didn’t think it’d ever be sold until he died. But now it’s crazy to see him finally wanting to actually let go. Now another question, is he going to let go, or is he going to come in as a figurehead, like a Ted Turner, and then eventually, they’ll phase him out? Who knows? I’m excited with you guys! I’m reading your Wrestling Inc. every day, every morning, checking up, see what happened.”
