It’s been reported that in partnering with various UK promotions, WWE has included the option to eventually buy those companies out and shut them down as they continue their global expansion. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for the independent wrestling scene in the long run?

Triple H is spearheading this UK takeover, he should be replacing Vince in that pic.
20 to 25k a year? Isn't that part-time at a fast food place?
Thirty years ago Vince killed the territories by signing all the top stars to lucrative contracts. Now he's doing the same thing on a global scale.
I am not a fan of wwe owning everything on the planet
If people actually think those UK wrestlers, whose “loyal” fans are turning on in droves for “selling out”, would rather break their backs on a nightly basis in front of 150 people for chump change instead of making a good living to support themselves and their families, they’re nuts.
I have a 2 question for Solomonster 1-Don't they have an ICW promotion in the United States and 2-They had their Insane Championship Wrestling Milwaukee promoted by Dysfunction that started in 2006 the same year that Mark Dallas started his promotion in the UK. So I'm thinking they can't called it ICW anymore if Vince takes it or buy him out
How can they be considered independent contracters if the WWE is restricting their income oportunities? They are in their best $ earning ages just to end up on a shelf.
Vince raped and pillaged all the American & Canadian territories in the 80s and 90s, and now they’re trying to create their own global territory system. Which they are doing by raping and pillaging more small promotions. If that isn’t the most WWE thing I’ve ever heard I don’t know what is.
That should be Triple H head instead of Vince. Triple H is doing the partnerships. He's no different than Vince.
WWE = the Walmart of wrestling.
