Chael Sonnen wants to buy the WWE

[Crayo]

HUGE retirement plans for mega-rich UFC fighter Chael Sonnen -- he tells TMZ, he wants to buy the WWE when he quits fighting ... a company valued at half a BILLION dollars.

And Chael's rep insists he's not joking, telling us, "It is 100% Chael's intent to buy the WWE." In fact, the rep says Chael is already meeting with bigwig friends in the investment world to enact his takeover.

Bad news though -- a rep for the WWE tells us the company ain't for sale ... at least not yet ... so Chael better be prepared to put a sweet offer on the table.

The rep adds, "We are a publicly traded company, so [Chael is] more than welcome to purchase shares of WWE stock and become one of our valued shareholders.”

And that's the bottom line!

Lmao

The dude's obviously been hit on the head a few too many times. Silly Chael is silly.

 

[Testify]

I don't even watch MMA and I love this guy, lmfao.:tyson:

 

[CM Punk]

Chael is hilarious. love him.

If Chael buys WWE maybe he makes it MMA company, that's something I wouldn't like to see, also, if he buys it but doesn't change anything maybe we start watching good matches

He'd be an incredible GM, imagine him coming in as the one to "control" Brock during the summer as the only GM who'd dare stand up to him. Damn H took that story already for the past year.

I don't care for this guy. Granted, I don't watch MMA or UFC or whatever but I've seen videos of him and his trash talking that people seem to love and wasn't impressed.

 

[Josh...]

Isn't he Punk's friend or something?

Yeah they're pretty close, and remarkably similar in my opinion. Chael is basically a UFC fighter, and a famous one too. The best trash talker in MMA history by a mile.



Worth a watch.

Lol Jon Jones was talking about how big of a trash talker Chael is. I wouldn't mind seeing him in Punk's corner at a PPV.

Ya that'd be cool, I still see him being involved with Brock too somehow. Say it was Punk w/ Chael vs Brock w/ Heyman and they ran a story of Chael training Punk into the MMA mindset.

Also apparently Chael spent a bit of time in the old WCW powerplant, I didn't know that.

Did you consider becoming a professional wrestler?
“Yeah, when I was in college, I didn’t graduate college until 2001, I became an All-American in 1998 and right after that I went out to the WCW, what they had at that time was called a Power Plant and there was a try out, it was an extremely difficult tryout, it was three days and boy it was hard, only two of us made it, me and a gentleman from Jamaica. And we got invited to comeback and I said, “Well, look, I’m going to go finish college,” and they said, “Well, you only have to do tryout, once you get invited the invite’s good for life essentially.’ So, I was going to return after I graduated in 2001, well by then they had shut down, the WCW had folded up and no longer was in existence.”

The last time Chael invested in a company didn't he end up in court for tax fraud or something?
