For me, it's crazy and sad because everything I've ever known about WWE has always had Vince in charge​
That part really hits when you actually read it. They're right though, it really is the beginning of a new era with the possibility for all kinds of new opportunities. What's crazy is, he doesn't even need to come in and make these radical changes in my opinion, he's just gotta cut off a bunch of shackles that Vince put in place and let the talent have more input.

Yep 40 years at the helm. It really was impossible to imagine WWE without Vince but here we are. Should be interesting

It really is surreal because I’m sure we all thought the old man would be running things from Gorilla until he died.

I’ve got faith in Hunter and if all the talent feels the same way then his reign should be a lot of fun and success

40 years in charge and at least 10 years too long.

I think WWE's creative model under Vince the last years was pretty broken with stories (which Becky did kinda confirm) of stuff being torn up last minute, or just rough stuff being written or terrible communication which makes AEW's recent issues seem minor. It is beyond the shitty tired, but probably an engine and some parts too.

I don't think him tearing up scripts before the show was all that new, maybe more and more often though.

You think Hunter told him it was “budget cuts” when he called him to fire him

He wished him good luck in his future endeavors

Johnny knew he was out the day Vince retired. There was no way he was keeping his job. All about severance and NDA at this point. Curious if Dunn or Prichard is next. I think Dunn gets 2-3 years, Prichard a bit longer.

Prichard is definitely done within the next year tbh. He's the worst kind of yes-man.

Dunn doesn’t make it to the end of the year IMO. He’s had his job for as long as he has cause he was a Vince guy.

Allegedly, Hunter and Steph aren’t fans of him.

Who could blame them? His cinematography is Blair Witch Project levels of shaky and terrible.
