Steve Austin Is Not Shocked With The Endeavor Takeover Of WWE
“Triple H went out and cut that promo saying they’re not going anywhere, meaning the people that are running WWE. I think it needs to come from a wrestling-minded family type thing, or those key players. That’s a tricky business.
“Not everybody with a television background walks into the wrestling industry or the sports industry and can produce great results. So you keep the people running it that do because they know their fanbase as well as anybody.”
A lot of rumours started to spread all over the world of pro wrestling after this deal. Fans were expecting to see some incomings from the UFC inside the WWE roster. There were some intimidation of some releases as well. Some minor budget cut is already rumoured for July 1. Let us hope for the best.
