3. The Outsider
The WWE is big business, when Vince goes, the replacement may not even come from within WWE. It isn't so much about prerequisites of the wrestling world, it is the necessitates of the corporate world which will be most valued. That means the WWE may look to the outside for its next great leader, looking to the big players within other huge empires such as Disney. The ultimate successor to Vince may be brought in to the company within the next few years before taking the reigns off Vince further down the line. It's vital that whoever manages a company the size of WWE has the solid character and experience, right now when you look within WWE you just don't see that corporate candidate emerging. The other way an outsider could take over is if an external company bought WWE. There isn't much of a belief that Vince would sell his controlling ownership, but it shouldn't be ruled out. If the McMahon family don't feel like they can extend their efforts, they might be willing to cash in their chips and enjoy the bountiful fruits of their billion dollar empire. The recent AMC merger / buyout rumours came to nothing, but for the first time in a long time, it got people talking about the idea of a WWE without a McMahon.
