Yeah in retrospect that was a lovely posted which I have deleted. Was trying to voice my frustration with fans eagerly ignoring this poo poo in order to consume a product they like. Failed at that and just made a lovely post.

Understandable; it's a shocking situation that goes disgustingly deep and our first impulse is to Post Through It, for better and for worse. I appreciate you deleting it.

this company ran as a sex trafficking ring as recently as 2021, with top stars complicit and engaged in the assaults. rotten from the top to the very bottom. if you work there you are complicit

The SLOM is buying your humanity. Anyone giving this company a dime is also horrible.

That article is graphic.

quote:

Meanwhile, McMahon allegedly sent her sexually explicit messages and his sexual demands increased. He forcefully used sex toys on her, including dildos he named after WWE wrestlers, causing her bruising and bleeding, the suit said. Grant alleged that she complained to McMahon and made attempts to end the relationship.

I mean at the very minimum I think Vince is gone. Brock too. Maybe a whole bunch of people.

Great timing, Netflix!

Any WWE aligned documentary is bullshit anyway, this thing's either getting sealed away in a vault or it's just going to act as a promotional package for WWE without actually talking about anything beyond "wow, vince had a tough childhood!"

"When I was an idol, I felt nothing every day but now that I'm a pro wrestler I'm in pain constantly!"

at this point ive watched this company simply ignore so many scandals that I can only assume they will easily wriggle out of this and the next 10 unspeakable acts they commit, simply because the company continues to make money from the most disgusting rubes on earth.

I guess we'll see loyal Dwayne is to Vince too. I know TKO has overlooked stuff with Dana but this is a whole different level. So many people need to be gone from WWE.

I assumed back when it was announced that pull no punches meant he will at most express slight remorse for the Montreal Screwjob, but not in terms of taking any form of responsibility. More of a the situation could have possibly been handled better by all involved.

The way TKO is setup sadly they'll more than likely escape mostly unscathed but Vince and Brock may not. They way they've set things up is they can easily cut Vince lose and they probably did it cause they knew something else could drop and whelp it did

And I'm.not sure they can just ignore it like they did Dana slapping his wife

Also gently caress this company

I've never felt more justified about switching to AEW fandom from day one. Say what you want about Tony Khan but at least he's not a loving monster.
