Hadn't read the court filing except to see if she was named since the WSJ was using her name and included a pic of her in the article (again, :barf:).

But she was in the legal department??? Just deranged power tripping.

I'm guessing they want the fed protected and this is just not what's best for business. I guess saying that both are bullshit. So Jericho is willingly comparing himself to this situation, it's your funeral Chris.

It could be “why is Jericho throwing stones in his glass house” but at the same time the tweet isn’t wrong, people should absolutely be going after Vince and Lesnar so :shrug:

I don’t read the liked tweet as “this is fake” but more commenting on the timing of it I guess. I’m not on twitter so I’m not gonna hunt it down for context.

They think its cringe to see this news and make a tweet about how it's unfair people went after Jericho for a much more vague and less serious allegation but the same people will probably not treat Vince as harshly.

Jeez, Jericho's like of that tweet isn't rocket science guys.

He's saying that the people who dogpiled Jericho for a BOGUS report should now be doing the same to WWE and Vince over these very REAL allegations.

They won't of course

So, who is Corporate Officer No. 1?



In the company her entire tenure, a high ranking exec and board member who remained with company after the merger but doesn't seem to be a board member now.

If you read more of the filing Corporate Officer No. 1 is heavily involved in all of this and very aware of the relationship.





The only person who seems to fit all of these is HHH. Nick Khan joined the company in 2020 and I don't believe Kevin Dunn was a board member. HHH was.

Helpful people sent me documents that Dunn wasn't a board member. Unless her lawyers made a mistake, HHH is basically the only person who could be Corporate Office No. 1 and thus directly involved in all of this.

I don't think so. Stephanie was CBO during this period but was also a board member and No. 2 is not listed as a board member.

Stephanie could be Corporate Officer No. 3 because “WWE Corporate Officer No. 3” was a high-ranking employee and/or Board member during Ms. Grant’s employment with WWE." because Stephanie did step down from the company but remained on the board.

I remember when Kahn first came in and Triple H was constantly being humiliated I made a joke that he'd never be fully burned because he knew where all the bodies were buried. What an awful way to realize that it wasn't a joke.

Yeah, Mike Sempreveve made a very good point on WOR today (I know, I was shocked too!): Dana White slapped his wife - in public! on camera! - and Ari Emanuel/Endeavor management did jack poo poo about it. The details of this suit are damning enough that Vince might get cut loose, but those other unnamed head officers could very well get to hang around and plead ignorance.
