Vince McMahon could be Newcastle United's New Owner ????

The Bull · 21-01-2011 8:31pm #1

A rumor going round the net is that Vince Mcmahon is in talks with Mike Ashley. Sounds like a load of tripe but could be interesting if it turns out to be true. Maybe Barton might be more at home in the ring;)

I doubt he even knows what soccer is tbh, would be hilarious though!

The Bull · 21-01-2011 8:40pm

It could be handy if they need to rotate players

Wolfe Tone · 21-01-2011 8:42pm

Stick the big show in goal, fatso will block most of it!

Garseys · 21-01-2011 8:43pm

unless it's in the WWE Universe, It doesn't exist to Vinnie Mac.

Rjd2 · 21-01-2011 8:44pm

I know its rubbish, but I think I would laugh like a lunatic if this was true.

This may be a better rumor than Breen to Barca!

Gerard.C · 21-01-2011 8:49pm

I would gladly become a member of the Toon Army if this is true. Gladly.

The Bull · 21-01-2011 8:54pm

i can just see it now, a newcastle shirt with a huge wwe logo on it

Gerard.C · 21-01-2011 8:56pm

Maybe Mike Ashley is the anonymous raw gm?

I could see Andy Carroll being made wear a jersey with the number 316 on it

Maybe some good will come of it. We could have at Wrestlemania the return of the Mean Street Posse vrs the newcomers The Cockney Mafia, imagine the buy rates that would generate, especially in Newcastle.

vrs

I wouldn't want Vinnie Mac as my boss if I was a manager. A few bad results and it would be...

Or maybe they could keep their job if they joined the Vince McMahon Kiss My Ass club.

Oh God, knowing Vince's outside ventures it's not looking good for us. He'd probably hire a load of world class basketball players and force them to play football.

That would be amazing.:D:D

Iron Hide · 22-01-2011 12:51am

Orton and Carroll up front would be some partnership, every keeper in the Prem would be dreading an RKO.

ShooterSF · 22-01-2011 12:53am

I can't wait until the ref gets knocked out an Barton grabs a steal chair

not only does he know what it is he has the next newcastle manager already signed up and ready to go for next season

Where the fudge did this rumour come from?

Although if there's a profit to be made, never rule out Vinnie Mac. And then there's the fact that one of his worst enemies is the largest shareholder at Arsenal.

Victor McDade · 22-01-2011 5:19am

I'd pay to watch this!

Degag · 22-01-2011 2:58pm

I would love if this was true. Love it!

assuming he is talking about Stan Kroenke, they had that well publicised spat after the Denver Nuggets or someone wouldent allow them have Raw there as agreed cos they made the playoffs. They made fun of Kroenke and the nUggests on Raw then when it found a new Venue in the home of Denvers opponents in the playoffs iirc

it'll all go pearshaped when SKY realize that King and JR will be commentators. resulting in a tag team match at Mania between them and the team of Martin Tyler and Andy Gray.

I'd happily buy a sky sports sub and shell out for the PPV to see Andy Gray put through a table.

Diabhal Beag · 23-01-2011 2:22pm

Book New Jack to make sure he's out for a while.

sky88 · 23-01-2011 4:49pm

that would be amazing i would have to become a newcastle fan

Raytoe · 23-01-2011 10:56pm

This has come to me as a shock but i seriously dobt this is true. He probably never heard of Newcastle United.

Interesting turn maybe? Shane McMahon was at the Bolton match last night...maybe doing daddy tidings?...trying to find the right club

If Vince has any sense he wouldn't waste his money on a Football club, they just hemmorage money

The World Bodybuilding Federation and XFL indicate that Vince has little sense outside of wrestling!

That's true and on that I read that he's starting to phase himself out of the day to day work. Coincidentally he also sold a lot of WWE stock a couple of weeks ago and the stock has taken a slide since. Good time for him to bounce

Have you seen some WWE storylines down the years? Gray and Keys would be right at home...

Ha! Yeah. Don't forget WWF New York/WWE The World and Linda's Campaign!

"The Condemned" lost a ton of cash but other than that I think WWE's films are profitable. Just not by much :P

Degag · 26-01-2011 1:02am

I can see it now....

Oh no, Rooney's straight through on goal, he has to score........

BONG!!! (Lights go out)

What the hell??? Rooney's now comatose on the 6 yard line and Andy Carroll has the ball..... Yes, GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!

Newcastle has essentially been a soap opera for years maybe now they will just have a better script. Although I would love the the Big Show in goal and Andy Grey shouting "its a sloberknocker" :cool:
