Piggybacking off the time Warner question.
Do you think that there is a chance. That will all the money wwe has just been given. That a network would want to start their own promotion. Or an even scarier thought. Does impact wrestling actually
Have value now?
That “network starting their own promotion” idea is exactly what ITV in Britain is currently doing with World of Sport, and WWE responded by immediately creating their own British tournament and signing as much talent away as humanly possible. It would be even uglier if someone tried it here in the US, I'd bet. You can take Vince out of the carnivals, but you can't take the carny out of Vince.
