Maybe I'm misremembering, and this new headline has taken over search results, but didn't the original accusation mention a personal trainer being one of the guys Vince had on speed dial to enable/cover up/take part in rape and/or trafficking?
In any case, given the nature of his crimes and how much he (allegedly, I guess we have to say) boasted and shared them with anyone in earshot, I'd be surprised if his trainer didn't know everything.

I wonder if Vince watched the show. Like, sat on his couch and watched the show on a television. Alone I assume? I wonder what that would be like.

I would assume he would be spending the evening with his loving family who loves him

Considering the timing of his retirement, is it likely that Jerry McDevitt saw all this coming and no longer wanted to deal with it?

EDIT: To be clear, I'm not trying to give him any credit, he's yet another piece of poo poo.

Since he's still working but not doing WWE cases there's a fair chance, although it is also possible he didn't want to take an L to Court Bauer. I feel like one of the articles on all of this indicated he was working on the NDAs so if anything he was aware of this longer. But it could just get to a point where it's not worth it anymore and you want to do lawyer stuff that isn't protecting your most famous shithead client.

He got pushed out. It’s not a coincidence that Endeavor replaced him on the MLW thing with the same team they hired to push the acquisition/UFC merger through.

Trump has definitely been begging him for money.

If he's staying in contact with Dwayne then what the gently caress, Dwayne is basically the actual head of creative for WWE.

Why wouldn't Vince hang out with his best friend? It's clear from his own conduct that he doesn't see Trump's as a dealbreaker.

For instance, on an afternoon in late March, McMahon returned on a private plane to the United States from the sunny Turks and Caicos Islands -- but he wasn’t alone, according to a person close to him. He had with him seven kittens and a puppy, all of which he brought back to be adopted by his friends, this person added.

New comment from a spokesperson for Janel Grant responding to NBC's reporting that Dwayne Johnson and John Cena are still in touch with Vince McMahon after his resignation:

"It’s shameful that Mr. Johnson and Mr. Cena would associate themselves with an individual with decades of allegations just like Janel's. Behind-the-scenes support is louder than any public statement ever could be."

In lieu of a jail sentence, Vince should have to raise a bunch of cats. The man who's an absolute control freak through and through having to deal with a creature that doesn't not give a single solitary gently caress about what you think and will do what it wants when it wants.

One of those fates worse than death, I'd imagine.

Besides being a horrible puff piece planted by Vince's lawyers which in the end doesn't make him look good it's clear that Vince isn't ready to move on and is 100% going to try and get back in wrestling next year. I 100% expect him to either start a new company or....like buy the NWA

I would actually be fully behind seeing Vince McMahon get the rights to the nwa from Billy corgan and see what he would do with it

I'd prefer Vince McMahon to not get any rights away from anyone, even if its for a product as contemptible as the NWA, and for him to gently caress off forever into obscurity and irrelevance - ideally after being drained dry by all manner of lawsuit and prosecutions from Janel Grant and however many other women there are out there that got targeted and victimised by that geriatric shitgoblin.
