I figured he would have paid less than he did honestly

Lmao any normal rich person could’ve afforded that. I guess that’s what 20 years of progress gets you… a company worth piss

 

[Kross Rhodes]

It was worth more than that on the tape library alone, but a parent isn’t gonna hold out for more when they released their most important upfront value the talent beforehand.

You wait for companies to shoot themselves in the foot then you pay pennies on the dollar, that's what he learned He had tried to buy them before and I bet for more money even but they wouldn't sell then

The funny thing though with WCW is the value was there and an offer of like $60 million was on the table, but then they put a guy in charge of tv that hated wrestled and then they flushed that offer down the toilet and had to settle for the measly $3 million Vince deemed to offer.

It’s just horrifically sad that the company that was supposed to put WWE out of business sold for 3 million lmao

The company would have been dead within a year of that relaunch lol they literally shut it down to the point everyone there acted like Final Battle was the last show bc it was so uncertain

The only thing they were good for is letting ROH air in the markets unlucky enough to have Sinclair as one of their main networks

Yeah, that relaunch was numb as fuck. You let all your talent go and it’s not like you had the most right roster.

You really couldn’t afford to let anyone get swooped.
