Chael Sonnen wants to buy the WWE

[seabs]

Wasn't it mortgage fraud?

Somekind of fraud at least.

Ya it was morgage just read up on it (something to do with he was selling a house and got the buyers to pay for uneeded repair work through his mum's company or some shit.) also this made me lol "Weeks before that fight, Sonnen pulled out as a candidate for Oregon House District 37. Sonnen, a political novice, entered and won the Republican primary. But he ended his campaign with oblique references to legal problems."

What a legend.

Laughing at the fact that he even thinks the company would be sold to anyone who isn't a McMahon.

When Vince kicks the bucket, Stephanie will probably take over.

Rather scary, tbh.

Triple H and Steph will both inherit it, and from the way things are looking, HHH will be more of the creative side and Stephanie more of the business side, which sounds promising to me. The scariest thought of all is if something happens between HHH and Stephanie and they split/get divorced. Then she's all left to run the company on her own. At that point, the only hope left is if Shane decides to make a return to his family's company and help Steph run things.

"This I gotta see".... like they (steph and Trips) would sell, or better yet Vince, but i'd like to see someone try their best effort to 'make a deal' and purchase the wwe and see what they can do.

How much do the McMahons own? If their collective is below 50% Chael could theoretically become the majority shareholder without even speaking to a member of the family.

NVM Vince apparently owns 80+%

WWE filed a document with the SEC on Wednesday disclosing that WWE CEO Vince McMahon converted 450,000 shares of Class B McMahon Family Stock into 450,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.

McMahon now owns more than 39 million shares (56.9 percent) of Class A Common Stock. Also, McMahon owns 87.2 percent of Class B McMahon Family Stock.

The result is that McMahon owns "approximately 81.8 percent of the Company’s total voting power," according to WWE's disclosure.

It's also worth noting that McMahon "indirectly" owns another 100 shares of Class A stock owned by his wife, former WWE CEO Linda McMahon, and 566,670 shares of Class B stock owned by Linda.

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.”
