Apparently internally there's been no meeting or letter sent to all wrestlers unlike the last tine this happened. Just complete radio silence as the world burns.

According to Dave there was one directive issued unofficially - lay low, only discuss the Rumble or storylines when spoken to.

>Slammed by allegations of rape, defecation, sex trafficking and more, Vince McMahon is out at WWE and UFC parent company TKO Group Holdings.

>“I stand by my prior statement that Ms. Grant’s lawsuit is replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and is a vindictive distortion of the truth,” McMahon said this evening. “I intend to vigorously defend myself against these baseless accusations, and look forward to clearing my name.

>“However, out of respect for the WWE Universe, the extraordinary TKO business and its board members and shareholders, partners and constituents, and all of the employees and Superstars who helped make WWE into the global leader it is today, I have decided to resign from my executive chairmanship and the TKO board of directors, effectively immediately.””

Punk's a complete sellout, any shred of respect anyone ever had left for him should be completely gone, after this week

The failure of building your brand on being a truth telling Punk rebel that after being fired with cause for Keeping It Real Goes Wrong becoming an amoral bootlegger for a racist rapist who will do a silent protest by wearing a shirt like he is a celebrity in a video with Gal Gadot.

It's nice when punk (or anyone else, especially in these times) wears the pro-trans shirt, it is not nice when he ignores poo poo like this even if his contract states he has to. He has plenty of loving ways to make a statement within the confines of his contract. Or ask for a release.

Was bot suggesting its wrong to wear the shirt but its so empty now. It's a matter if degrees - if Cena wore the shirt for example with no other comment it would be substantial as he hasn't built his entire personality on such stands. Punk, outspoken and built on an unimpeachable moral hierarchy, is avoiding talking anything about it but we can all predict hell wear a Believe Women hastily sharpied on his wrist tape while continuing to participate. He burned bridges because he feared the Young Bucks were shooting on him and so punched his own boss but won't say a word on being surrounded by rapists and wanting to participate.

I'm sure Vince got a lot of tips on humiliating and exploiting and trafficking women from that piece of poo poo Moolah.

Hell the likelihood she pimped her girls out to him is 100%.

The other women named in the grand jury subpoena include a WWE contractor whom McMahon allegedly sent unsolicited nude photos and sexually harassed; a former WWE wrestler who said McMahon coerced her into giving him oral sex; former WWE referee Rita Chatterton, who publicly accused McMahon of raping her; a spa manager who said McMahon assaulted her at a Southern California resort; and a former WWE employee who alleged the head of talent relations at the company at the time, John Laurinaitis, demoted her after she broke off an affair with him.

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.

Vince resented Brodie because he could not do a deep south accent and was a well read intelligent northerner that was kind rather than a dumb Hick from the trailer park that Vince wished he could return to being.

that was who I figured was the one who got the depush despite having being pretty entertaining. Shoutout to Jackie Gayda.

People far more obsessive went through all the details and Gayda isn't the one that story is about. She's another one used and abusedvu the rapist Vince McMahon.

Cena's just telling the truth he saw nothing this is a shock and Vince I'd a father to him.

Unrelated entirely, in the same interview he declared he had never ever touched a steroid or growth hormone.

It's funny because the Catholic church worked on this principle for a long time. Did a bunch of mortal sins? NBD pay an artist to paint a fresco (featuring you) in your local church and all is forgiven!

There were also allegations about Darby Allin that were supposedly looked into and concluded there was nothing to act on, and Jay Lethal had allegations back in ROH apparently

Jay Lethal was AJ Lee's fiance and managed to not even be mentioned once in her autobiography.
