Not sure... if WWE dissolved, it would help the Indy circuit out TREMENDOUSLY... might actually make more than gas money on a match then.

I went to some indie wrestling last Friday, think I should make a thread about it?
On another note, I think Stef would take over, since she is helping write the scripts anyway, and in the movie/documentary Beyond The Mat you can see her sitting beside dear ole dad at almost every event backstage.

If he died they would have a one hour special about him, maybe a 60 minutes or 48 hours piece on him and the company would go on.
The WWE is a huge entertainment corporation and will go on with or without Vince. I was lucky enough to work with the WWE back in the days when it was the WWF. We had all sorts of meetings in the WWF offices in New York City, the offices were so cool and the people that worked there were great. Would the WWE lose something from his death, sure would because he was the guy who made wrestling what it is today. I am pretty positive someone would jump right in and fill his shoes. It looks to me like he is getting ready to retire soon, he is no longer in the spotlight he is more of the behind the scenes type of guy and believe it or not his son Shane is a very good business man himself.

Okay guys, the WWE is a corporation who's stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. If Vince McMahon dies there is a line of people that would just step up to fill the void that he left, probably his wife. It is not like a mom and pop corner store, it is a major company who existance is not determind on one person, even though he is important the company would go on. It happens all the time in the business world, CEO die, they quit, the get arrested for fraud. One person does not make or break a business as large as the WWE.
