World Wrestling Entertainment: The New Era
In late 2010, the unthinkable happened. Vince McMahon suffered a major stroke and died. Linda McMahon is still fluttering in politics, Stephanie is staying at home with her kids, and Shane is out of the business, leaving nobody to step up and run the company. The most monumental day in the history of a long and storied business took place, as the WWE goes on the market.
Meanwhile, TNA sinks into obscurity. Ratings continue to drop and no angle created by Vince Russo, Hulk Hogan, or any other people in the company can save it. Bob and Janice Carter yank TNA from Dixie and decide that it is a business venture no longer worth the undertaking, and decide to sell TNA altogether.
There is an aching for professional wrestling to return to the mainstream. USA Network wants to return programming to their station and prominant figures within the industry want to get the industry back up and running after the terrible tragedy that befell it.
The general consensus was that TNA was heading in the wrong direction and WWE, although the better of the two companies, was still missing something. With both companies selling at low prices, two men with a brain for the industry, Ric Flair and Arn Anderson, stepped up and bought the rights to the companies. WWE was to return again, under new managment with a new outlook.
Roster coming soon.
