Ivypls posted:i think if nia jax said anything other than what she did, she would have been instantly dragged into a legal hell dimension for eternity The least you can say is “no comment” which sucks but isn’t as bad as Orange Carlisle posted:oh, you know, I'm all business - and this business is built on hosed up poo poo like sexual abuse and rape so check out the royal rumble live on peacock Anyway, I’m not here to drag Nia or whatever it’s just more pathetic poo poo from the company and the people in it.

My optimistic hope is that his resignation is the first of many changes to come but my realistic side knows it won’t be. It’d just be nice if one horrible old white man was held accountable for the things he’s done for once.

Dango Bango posted:Also, I forgot to ask - is this worth reading? I started it but stopped when he referred to Grant as Vince's "mistress". Yeah, that was a real swing and a loving miss from Dave and I also started to tune out there. Not like I haven’t read enough elsewhere already.

Glass Punkbull 141 posted:I'm not holding my breath. I'll believe it when they're all gone. Same. I want so badly to be optimistic, but alas. It would be so refreshing for Khan to gut the entire crew. I don’t know from a capitalistic business man perspective if it makes more sense to do it before the rumble or get through the weekend. The moralistic answer is obvious, of course, but money is going to be their bottom line.

Whenever I’m away from the forum for a couple hours, I come back hoping to see like 200 new posts in this thread because someone else has been axed in relation to this whole thing. Sadly, that’s only happened with Vince so far.

Psychepath posted:Hunter just plainly saying when outright asked that he didn't read the lawsuit is such an egregious lie that it tells me all I really need to know about #1. Yeah, that’s loving vile. Even if there wasn’t an unnamed person who it seemed like was him, to say you haven’t read the lawsuit at all when you’re in the position he’s in is just insane and irresponsible. Just soulless, pathetic, blissful ignorance.

We never announced that. That was just an internet rumor that people ran with. We never announced any plans for Brock in the rumble.”

Just saw this clip of Vince on Donahue in 1992 pop up on TikTok and I’d never seen this clip or heard of Murray Hodgson before. It’s almost like the problem has always been there! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8nCYCnF/

It’s not like there aren’t three hundred other examples of Vince and Company being terrible monsters even if this one turned out to be false. I do enjoy seeing someone rip into him to applause, though.

I wouldn’t expect either of them to have good takes at this point, especially Bischoff. I haven’t listened to Bischoff’s thing because I don’t hate myself but Jarrett’s feels very hollow and like the dozens of “thoughts and prayers” tweets from politicians in the US when another school shooting happens every three weeks. Just no substance and no real condemnation of the real problem or any stance whatsoever.

You can’t fix all of the problems, but this is a big one and I want to believe that there’s still some good in the world for Vince, John, Paul, Stephanie, and everyone else who was involved and covered things up to get their comeuppance.

Kennel posted:Some say Bret, which seems like a good guess considering the focus on wrestling skill. Mox was my guess, though. 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.

MassRafTer posted:Finished the podcast. Melina and Mick Foley are briefly interviewed at Wrestlecon but there isn't a lot there. Paul London agrees to be interviewed at the end after previously declining (he and others didn't seem to trust the story would be done right, which is easy to understand.) I've seen other interviews with him where he relates that she told him about what happened and that she'd be invited on the corporate jet which made her very uncomfortable but I believe he's told that elsewhere. What I'd never heard before is he said that Vince would come to her hotel room after shows and she would have to hide silently in her room all night pretending she wasn't there in fear of him. God I hope he loving rots. What a miserable pile of poo poo disguised as a human being.

MassRafTer posted:The company is in deep poo poo if Johnny keeps talking. God, her story is all so loving sad. Shoved into a situation she could never win with the diva search and probably not being trained at all but expected to wrestle, as a means to be oggled at and demeaned by absolute scum of the earth. Not to say that there's ever been a good time to be a woman in that company, but she was there at some of the absolute worst times. I hope everyone, including Johnny, burns for what they've done but I hope he reveals all of their secrets as the flames begin to singe them.

Kosmo Gallion posted:Vince loves the thought of a wife cheating on her husband. He booked that Dustin Rhodes/Val Venis/Terri Runnels crap in 1998. He absolutely wanted to end the Runnels marriage. This reminded me of the Goldust/Pillman/Marlena story where if Pillman won their match, he essentially won Marlena as a sex slave. Which really is painted in a completely different light now (the light it was painted in before was already a bad one).

Who is the unnamed partner he's talking about in the first story? All I can remember as far as tag team partners from his WWE days are Hercules and Jim Powers, but he specifically mentions the guy died from a brain bleed. I was pretty sure Hercules died from a heart attack/heart issue? I'm never sure of how much to believe from some of the old-timers who come out to talk about this stuff when stories get picked up, especially when their stories are so non-specific. I guess it's just the carny nature of the 70s/80s/into the 90s that I sometimes have a hard time trusting.
