For those who didn't know-McMahon is a friend of Trump, and McMahon's wife worked in the Trump administration and has run on a Repub ticket for various offices

3. Yep. And the irony is

Trump was never mentioned on WWE tv shows during his administration-while WWE has parodied Obama and other Dems on their shows

4. Trumps contract for that was typical TRUMP too;

Both trump & McMahon had a wrestler representing them in the ring. Whoever lost had to get their head shaved. The stipulation in Trump's contract went so far as saying that if Bobbly Lashley, trumps wrestler, actually DIED in the ring, trump would still NOT have to get his head shaved. What a dick.

The best thing to happen to WWE men & women in years was mcMahon "retiring" due to his sexual harassment payoffs
Now THIS? They'll never let the right people stay in charge.
One things for sure; McMahon came back to do this sale.
That means the Saudis are going to get Royally SCREWED on the price
