Yeah, looking at some of Endeavors other holdings and WWE is good match. Ari was Trumps agent at some point lol, they're all buddies. They also have some bull riding league - defo appealing to that Colby Covington demo lol

Here we go lmaoooo. I’m just saying UFC/WWE are legit the same business model. It makes complete sense that Endeavor would buy them. Saudis probably had the money but I doubt would know what to do with it

No they aren't "legit" the same business model bro lol
Unless you just wanna be basic.

Do you understand the difference in business with real competition. Real athletes that don't compete every week. Nothing is alike aside from a Booker lol

🤷🏻‍♂️ it’s gonna be interesting to see how this all pans out. I for one am worried but it’s better than the Saudis for me

Least they deal with peacock don't end till 2026

TK bought Bellator

Vince really won

By your logic MMA, Boxing, etc....are all the same and they just arent. Doesnt matter how many times you see Brock Lesnar and CM Punk fight lol

They don't even market the same way. Common fans? Sure.

Not a similar product - there's a portion of MMA fans that are/were wrestling fans. For me it's mainly that there are some fighters who love pro-wrestling/take influence from acts there and there are wrestlers who are obviously influenced by MMA or actually come from that world e.g. Riddle. Then ofc you have figures like Ariel who are fans of both MMA and pro-wrestling or DC who's a big prowrestling fan and a legend in the sport. I think WWE also consistently tapping into the fight world over the years e.g. Tyson, Mayweather, Fury, Ronda also helped.

Gable crossing over buddy

Remember when Del Rio fought in PRIDE?

I've been saying for a minute UFC stole a lot of those rowdy af redneck demographic 90's/early 00's wrestling used to have. I wonder if Endeavor will try to bring them back

Didn’t they use to advertise UFC when Shamrock made the jump to WWF. I could have sworn I heard it over commentary on the network a couple times

Power Slap and Bull Riding League after 3 hours of RAW

Rednecks won

Pride had TONS of puroresu crossovers. They are the biggest example of MMA/Pro Wrestling crossover. Along w/Pancrase.

Antonio Inoki damn near ruined NJPW for good thinking like Nukes

Inokism

But a real note that was a dumb idea lmaooo

90s pancrase was awesome. Same with Pride. Kinda wish UFC would adopt some of the over the top entrances from Pride LOL

Lol imagine Vince start making them take real fights for storylines

We’re getting NXT in the Apex center

Early UFC had the entrances and stages. Its washed now. No individuals anymore with the damn fight kits and s***

lmaoooo

Defo need DC to call some matches

Jon Jones beats Roman Reigns at WM40

Just read the press statement.

Vince is executive chairman of both WWE and UFC properties. It’s pretty safe to say with this being a brand new company (TKO) that he is no longer bound by his pre sale conditions and he could take over Creative tomorrow with no consequences from the SEC.

Vince always wins in the end.
