What if WWE died?

[El Cocodrilo]

Inspired by the other thread about the rise and fall of WWE DVD, what if WWE died?

What if January 1, 2016 came around and there was no longer a WWE?

Would the neckbeards just move on to knocking on TNA or would they abandon Pro Wrestling?

Where would all the talent end up?

I'm assuming anyone that's really paid (Cena, Triple H) would just retire, but I wonder what would become of all the up and coming talent and staff that still has to work on the reg for a living.
I wonder if any of the existing promotions would take that number one spot or if something completely new would take WWE's place.

I haven't made up my mind if this would be a good thing or a bad thing in the long run, what ya'll think?

NJPW will thrive for a bit but have its down periods, like all promotions.
TNA will be Number 1 for a bit, but TNA doesn't sound like a cool promotion name.
ROH will be Number 2, but they need to get over the "CM Punk, Danielson, Joe" don't live here no more shyt.
Return of Territory based wrestling

it would be sad, but bittersweet.

how much longer do you really wanna witness it in this condition?

the humane thing might be to just pull the plug.

Well if WWE died we'd have to assume TNA and ROH folded too right

Return of Territory based wrestling

Fans sure do chant the name of the company like its cool during hot spots or ill moments tho ala ECW, NWO, and ROH

But sidenote.... I think they go more by Impact Wrestling than TNA to a degree at this point

I do think territories would return, I think Jarret would really stop BS'ing and do something major with GFW

Well if WWE died we'd have to assume TNA and ROH folded too right

NOPE!!!

if WWE died wrestling would die, back to the territorys in all aspects
