In response to "Samoa Joe released. Again. -- nm" by The Allfather

I figured that would happen but this seems deeper than Vince just cleaning out deadwood. He’s erasing his son in law. -- nm

If this is some personal thing....isn't this a publicly traded company? -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 15:59 5
- It is and they keep reporting massive profits so palace intrigue over a successor isn’t an issue. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:12 4
  - Ahh, listening to you all talk, it sounded like things weren't going well vs AEW, I guess I misread. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 16:17 3
    - AEW didn't exist at this time in 2018. Its demo last night was 0.43. Raw's was 0.45. Raw has been on since 1997. - The Allfather Jan 6, 16:39 1
      - 1993! -- nm - Tim Jan 6, 16:41
    - Oh, creatively and PR … WWE is getting destroyed. But they got so much money from tv, they literally can’t help but be profitable for now - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:27
I cannot believe I'm saying this, but there's a non-zero chance HHH gets fired, too. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 6, 15:50 18
- No. that won't happen for a few reasons. But he will be shufled off to the side. He's family...but his NXT lost to AEW so he's done -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 16:35 10
  - Non-zero chance doesn't mean it's happening, just that's a possibility. - The Allfather Jan 6, 16:40 9
    - only if it's Nick Khan's hand on the trigger. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 16:41 8
      - Khan won the power struggle to replace Vince. It’s his hand (or Vince hates his son-in-law.) - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:48 6
        
        Vince is still majority shareholder. Yeah clearly something is going on. Maybe HHH heart attack was more serious than we though -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 17:54 5
        
        I know he is. But Khan is the heir apparent. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 17:57 4
        
        Since I found out Khan is Rock's childhood friend, I've become convinced there's a succession plan in place. - The Allfather Jan 6, 18:08 3
        
        Which fine but it’s a weird idea to be the 800lb gorilla in the space and basically infuriate your audience to save nickels in overall savings. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 18:19 2
        
        Also, it's morally repugnant. Let's not lose sight of that. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 6, 18:21 1
        
        Meh, they could have not hired them and overpaid in the first place…. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 18:33
      - And it obviously is. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 6, 16:46
- I think the only thing stopping it is he doesn't want HHH to show up on AEW. - the wrong element Jan 6, 16:07 6
  - I believe his recent medical issue means HHH will never wrestle again, but just a one-off showing up on Dynamite would be hilarious. -- nm - Tim Jan 6, 16:42 2
    - Have him be the Bischoff to an NXT invasion - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:46 1
      - he'd never do it. but man it'd be amazing -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 16:49
  - I was thinking…the only two notable AEW concerns are Punk (valid) and Cody who most people want to go away. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:11 2
    - Actually, Cody is wildly popular behind the scenes. It's his character many fans dislike. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 6, 16:37 1
      - yup. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 16:42
