doesnt the sport have enough redneck fans as it is without bringing in Vince?

If you think about it vince love him or hate him is a billionare , he knows international business like no other look how he has got the WWE out there.
Now i am not a WWE fan, not since 8 years ago but from a business perspective he knows his stuff (business).
It does make sense.
The only thing i notice is Dana trying to get NY sanctioned.
Now i know Donald Trump who has signed with affliction talked at the press conference stating things are in the works already for it to be sanctioned in NY.
And Vince and Donald Trump are best freinds.
It is still a rumour but one that does make sense,

I think it would be naive to think if Vince would have any other role besides a behind the scenes financial one if this turns out to be true. But of course automatically thinks UFC will be scripted now that Vince is involved.

This doesnt make a whole lotta sense to me. Now would not be the time to sell the company seeing as how tv deals are in the works.
