UFC Announcement Speculation Thread (23 Merged Threads)

This makes sense McMahon has the resources to buy the brothers out and Dana still owns most the company, watch his head grow even bigger he will turn into a proper megalomaniac

[emelianko]

Just as long as we dont start seeing the Hardy brothers and the Dudley boys doing run ins and putting people thru tables, in all seriousness aslong as Vince has no influence on what happens with the UFC then it dosnt really matter..... But i highly doubt that!

its true ......................

Maybe one should give him the benefit of doubt.
Well, I don't ... aging has made me only more sceptical in general ;)

Often when one wants to grow, past ways are thrown overboard.

I think there is a huge risk to make many mistakes and only a few good choices, so I guess it will come only worse......

Whether or not you like pro-wrestling, one thing is for damn sure. Vince McMahan knows how to promote and put together a show.

All of you guys who cry for Pride thetrics before fights and all, well Vince is ust the guy to that sort of thing (which I hste by the way..I like the non over-the-top shit UFC has alwasy been over Pride, though this is not a knock on the Pride product as whole).

If this were true, it could tunr into an awesome move or a total disaster, on tihngs is for sure, if this true UFC will nt be the same 5 years from now....for better or worse. We shall see

As "crazy" as Vince McMahon acts on stage and as offball as this announcment might seem, if it's real, the guy is great when it comes to business. And if you watched his network interviews after that one wrestler killed his family, he's amazingly professional and informed.

As for making the UFC bigger, he can only help.

ufc isnt on its peak yet. i am pretty sure they will blow it sometime, with their tastelessness. it is a modern sports and dana white had very much luck in many ways. that doesnt change though that it is still a bad product with very many faults. dana doesnt seem wanting to change those faults, what he does is try to divert and do just a loooot of promoting
well, a popular bad product is still a bad product. but i guess his goal is not really long term. he will ride the ufc til the popularity fades, then sell and sack a loooot of money
looking forward to when a better org gets the top fighters

One negative people are forgeting.

Vince would bring a stigma of Wrestling. That would not bring new fans and harm this sport from getting legit.
