www.f4wonline.com/daily-updates/daily-update-its-time-wrestlemania-32-210411The New York Post had an article. It claims that John de Mol, who came up with "Big Brother" and is one of the major stockholders in WWE, has a standing offer to buy controlling interest from Vince McMahon if he's interested in selling. nypost.com/2016/04/02/john-de-mol-wants-to-enter-the-ring-with-wwe/John de Mol wants to enter the ring with WWE There is a strong rumor that John de Mol, the self-proclaimed brain behind the television hit “Big Brother,” has gone to the mat for the WWE. A source told our Josh Kosman and Richard Morgan that de Mol has made a standing offer to acquire World Wrestling Entertainment should controlling owner Vince McMahon, 70, ever decide to sell. De Mol’s Talpa Beheer last year acquired a 6 percent stake in the WWE. A de Mol spokeswoman said, “We do not comment or give explanations on the investments of John de Mol and therefore also not with respect to his investment in WWE.” A WWE spokesman said, “WWE, controlled by founder and Chief Executive Officer Vince McMahon through Class B shares, isn’t in any discussions about a potential sale.” If a deal is struck, de Mol would have to grapple with WWE’s $1.3 billion market cap.
