WWE: HHH and Stephanie taking Over
- The Squared Circle author David Shoemaker appeared on The Street and discussed the recent WWE stock surge, which is currently trading at around $13. Shoemaker noted that part of the reason in the increase in the stock price has been because the McMahon family has learned how to deal with investors. He also said that after speaking to Triple H last summer, both Triple H and Stephanie McMahon seemed ready to take over the company whenever Vince McMahon decides to hand over the reigns. He also discussed the WWE Network, the UFC using WWE’s business model, TNA “may or may not” being up for sale, deaths in wrestling and more, you can watch the appearance in the video above.
- A Kickstarter has been launched for a new wrestling documentary entitled Wrestling With Disaster, which gets inside the minds of some of your favorite stars from the past, present and future. Stars featured in the film include Kevin Sullivan, Warlord, Fred “Tugboat/Typhoon” Ottman, D-Lo Brown, “Headbanger Thrasher” Glen Ruth, The Blue Meanie and many others.
