For sure.  That's clearly the only avenue for it, especially if he can keep more control over it rather than through a tv network deal.  I personally don't care as I don't watch sports at all, it's just interesting to see Vince making what is likely another poor business decision.  What's next? Bring back the World Bodybuilding Federation?

I think he'll have no problem selling this time around since freaking everyone is going streaming.

kamikazekeeg:
And once again Wrestle Kingdom turns out a fantastic show.  Not a bad match on the card and the only one that could be said to be weak, was the rumble, which is just for a bit of fun, and is on the pre-show.  The Fatal Four Way was impressive with only one slight botch and Kenny Omega vs Chris Jericho was one of Jericho's best matches I've seen in awhile.

kamikazekeeg:
One of my favorite match types, the Rumble is coming up.  Always enjoy it, as while you rarely get much serious wrestling going on, it's usually entertaining for the surprise entrants and shenanigans that go on.  The women's side is also getting their first Rumble ever, so that could be something fun.  Not sure who I'm expecting to win this, but hopefully something interesting happens.  Worried we'll get another Reigns win or something lame like that, but lets hope not.

doafan:
Royal Rumble is almost here and certanly am only interestd in one match ...

AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn Handicap match for the WWE Championship

... am just wondering if they will give Sami an opportunity for the belt, after all he defeated the phenomenal last Tuesday about of the rest of the matches I really don't care, heard that it will be an six hours event and honestly have been thinking months ago that we got tons of wrestling these days  >:(

kamikazekeeg:
I'm interested in the two Royal Rumbles, for hopefully something interesting coming out of a Lesnar match for the championship, though I expect him to win and to be uninteresting outside of Strowman, and Styles vs Zayne and KO should be fun.

*EDIT*
Oh that Royal Rumble winner.  I was not expecting it, though it makes more sense now, knowing that he could choose a champion to go after.  I had automatically assumed it would be Reigns, because it's clear they are gonna push Reigns for the belt at Wrestlemania against Lesnar, but didn't realize that we could get that Nakamura vs Styles match at Wrestlemania instead, which will be so much better. This made the night for me.  Also that dope Rey Mysterio appearance was welcomed.

Strowman continues to have the best push I've seen in recent years.  He PUNCHED the metal chair.  Everything they do with him is so over the top, and yeah, stuff like lifting the Semi on his side is ridiculous, but it's part of the fun lol He sells being this big monster so well. I'm absolutely expecting a Lesnar win, but he makes this match fun.  Lesnar is still an incredibly unfun guy to watch, I don't think I've liked a match of his since...His final Undertaker stuff maybe? Mostly because they were doing submissions and strikes too and it wasn't all just suplexes and F5's.

Kairi Sane, yet another reason I love Japanese wrestlers, for their unique style.  Nakamura, Asuka, just awesome.  They might not have the promos skills here in the USA, but they are such uniquely fun personalities and both Kairi and Asuka could have some fun matches in the future.  I actually missed her NXT debut, but fun to see her here.

OH JESUS CHRIST. Vicki Guerrero.  Thank god I didn't have the volume that loud lol

The Women's Royal Rumble was fairly fun.  About on the level I expected with some entertaining guest spots, ignoring the screeching horror of Vicki Guerrero.  I actually was sorta expecting Asuka winning, but I just realized, that both Nakamura and Asuka won their respective Rumbles.  Two favorites of mine for sure. 

I forgot that there were Ronda Rousey rumors.  Weird show up at the end...also totally borrowing Rowdy Roddy Pipers style for some reason...and Asuka never picked her championship.  I guess that maybe on Raw, Asuka will pick a belt to go after and Ronda will try for the other?  Seems like it would've been better to have her show up on Raw first instead.
