If a settlement is what Ms Grant needs for at least a little bit of closure I hope she gets it. But if she wants to drag those motherfuckers publicly and have her day in court I hope she does. But it would likely be years away due to all the legal bullshit WWE would pull.

Evil Badman posted:Can we have a standing agreement to avoid speculation of other involved parties not named or alluded to in the documents until they're revealed? I don't think we need to start adding people to this mess for failing to make a statement in the first x hours of the news breaking. Idk, but if it were me I couldn't put out a statement condemning it and distancing myself from the company fast enough.

TV Zombie posted:Is the best one can expect for punishment,for Vince,is that he is fired? I'm not versed in corporate or business law, but from what I've seen and heard, Vince is very well insulated in his position and even with this it would be difficult to force him out.

rotinaj posted:Sure, but not just from Wwe/TKO. As has been pointed out, nothing from Austin, foley, undertaker, nothing from AEW, nothing from cultaholic, nothing from wrestletalk, POST just got something up shortly ago… I wouldn't hold it against AEW for not making a statement. They have nothing to do with it, and it's extremely uncommon for competing companies to comment on pending litigation in any field, not just wrestling. I mean, points to them if they do but I personally don't hold it against them if they don't.

Drakkel posted:I think WWE/TKO are desperate to pin the whole thing entirely on Vince and a lot of fans in the IWC are desperate to absolve HHH of any wrongdoing because they like his booking and that's honestly most likely what's gonna happen. Yeah I'm thinking they sacrifice Vince so it looks like they did something.

Drakkel posted:Netflix has the opportunity to do the best thing for wrestling in decades It all depends on if they think staying in the contract will be profitable. It's not unlike the companies who know they have a harmful product and don't do a recall because that would be more expensive than paying settlements. I guarantee you they're running a cost/benefit analysis as we speak.

With as insulated as he was and with as quickly as he left, they absolutely threatened to come out with more. Ms Grant isn't nearly the only person they know about.

JUNGLE BOY posted:https://x.com/WrestlePurists/status/1751080352888610955?s=20 I'll believe it when I see it. As long as Netflix is satisfied, id put money on them just axing Vince, settling with Ms Grant and all the other women they know about, *maybe* making a sizable donation to a charity like RAINN for good PR, and then hoping we forget about it.

This is the first time in the 70 or so years of the company that there isn't a McMahon involved anywhere in the company. As it should be. It's just weird to think about

Truther Vandross posted:lol Ari knew about it. He also knows he's probably THE most powerful person in hollywood so nobody was going to gently caress with his daughter like that, which is all he cared about. Oh he absolutely did. Companies don't make $9 billion purchases of other companies without extreme due diligence. They investigated every inch of that company before they bought it.

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. Yeah that speaks volumes. 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"

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.

The women's revolution will truly change WWE after all Also, re: Vince's nutsack (words I never thought I'd type): there are men who would pay good money and enjoy very much having a woman do damage to their bits, so that might not be the deterrent you think it is.

MassRafTer posted:Someone in a group DM brought up they thought Triple H was #4 for that very reason and I looked at it and said no it can't be him, but he matches the description for 1 exactly and got me down that rabbit hole. Khan was the only other person who could, but I didn't think the language matched given how they described other people, but I was wrong. I also didn't think Vince would go with someone who had only been with the company a short time to play a key role in his cover up but I also forgot Nick Khan was at CAA and their connections to Weinstein, plus bringing aboard his creep friend who was fired from Fox. If Stephanie knew, HHH knew.
