Merger or sale? Endeavor already had UFC, not sure how this is going down.

They’re merging WWF and UFC into one company.

So they is it a new company, could WWE back out later?

I can't get the idea of them giving UFC the WWE treatment with "story lines" and fighter gimmicks out of my head since I've read this.

Lol I thought this was an April fools when I heard about it

This…. will not end well.

What are the possible implications?

What are the possible implications?

Mainly the egos of White and McMahon clashing, I'd imagine. They have very different ideas of how to run a company. But now its the same company. Ari Emmanuel isn't exactly a small ego, either. The treatment of the booked talent is probably going to be an issue. Again, they treat them very differently in either camp. It's a real clash of styles, product and management that I don't see being all that harmonious - and that's an understatement

Wouldn't that create a monopoly situation?

Vince is executive chairman; Dana as president is on the same level as Nick Khan below Vince in the corporate structure. So the question is more how those two see eye-to-eye.

Add boxing to it, and you can have a trifecta of clown show and rigged sports, often.

Better put it past every country in the world first and have a 808 page discussion!

Now the big question, what is the new acronym going to be? And what does it stand for?
