Warthur posted:Has he? It's not clear to me from the article that the investigation's actually stopped. Yeah, that’s confusing to me. It was the thing we heard about months ago but did it conclude? It seems like if they searched his phone as part of that or whatever, they would have found all sorts of miserable poo poo.

i'm not sure if you're agreeing with me or not, what does that have to do with the ari emmanuel quotes about vince being a part of TKO after the first WSJ article and after the supposed due diligence

WON:quote:“He's the f’n cerebral assassin, best politicking dude in history, literally wormed his way from a green, entry level wrestler into a (still, average wrestler) absolute top of the office, executive, you think he doesn't pay attention to what's going on around him?” said one of the biggest company stars of the modern era. “Think he did that without knowing every little thing everywhere in that company? Yet somehow this slipped past his radar?”

MJeff posted:Yeah I can't get over the fact that Laurinitis is outright corroborating everything Grant is saying. That feels like he knows where the cannon is pointed and nothing is gonna stop it from firing and he just wants to get the gently caress out of the way. It's a very transparent attempt to try to get his part dropped in exchange for helping to land the big fish.

He’s been employed since 1995, got a constant push above his crowd reaction levels, married the boss’ daughter, became the booker, got into talent relations, became the #1 corporate officer, has millions in stocks, and got jobs for all his buddies.

Coaaab posted:is hunner really the best politicking dude in wrestling history? He was strategic and aligned himself with who he needed all throughout his career. The man saw an opening with the boss's daughter and took it. From slop match jobber to exec of a worldwide multi billion sports corporation. I don't know who else it would be.

According to one main roster star, nobody has talked to them about the situation from management, other than to tell them that Vince won’t be back. Instead they were told how successful the Royal Rumble was and how big the new Netflix deal is. pathetic company

I don’t know if I’d consider Bret from the “modern era” as the quote is attributed. I assumed that meant the 2000s onward. Some of the tone feels un-Bret like too, but the dig about quality of wrestling is really funny to sneak in there.

Not "I didn't do anything and I will do everything I can to clear my name blah blah blah." It's "yeah I did it but Vince made me rape her"

MassRafTer posted:I didn't think it would take less than 24 hours for Johnny's defense to come crumbling down. Ok reading the article they've been investigating for months so it took negative time. Impressive. Yeah that's incredibly quick, you normally don't see someone collapsing in a broken pile that fast outside a CM Punk appearance.

And that 1975 thing can *sort of* be forgiven because kayfabe was so protected back then that those crowds thought that a legitimately terrible person had met his karmic end. I know nothing of Bobby Shane but he was a heel in the 70s so I'm sure he was really over the top.

I've never heard of Bobby Shane before but he died at only 29 and before the plane crash had loaned his crown and Cape to sone guy named Jerry Lawler. Also feuded with should-be-in-the-hof Mario Milano.  Him with his valet, a lady named Sherri.
