Both Stephanie and HHH had to have been involved or had knowledge. You know what actually might be the outcome of this if they do clean house? Head booker Cody Rhodes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEBckT9ewyg I know this is like, the least important thing to comment on at this time, but I just noticed how dark Vince dyed his hair for his New York Stock Exchange photo-op. His hair has never been that black. Also, the media is going to get a lot of mileage out of decades of footage of Vince looking angry or perverted on TV.

How many WWE wrestlers will feign ignorance about Vince's well-documented history of being a piece of poo poo after this?

Long-Time Lurker posted:I regretted reading the actual complaint...it's horrific beyond belief. I don't understand how anyone can still watch the product at this point and earnestly use the usual talking points as justification. Really makes you think about how most of the company seemed to know about this. Vince openly showing it off to a dozen tech guys, using her as a bargaining chip with Lesnar, multiple execs being somewhat involved, texting wrestlers photos and even texting a former referee.

I’m not holding my breath for anyone but Vince to get in trouble for this, betting that Hunter is gonna wriggle out of this one for a while. Only way I see him getting any form of heat is if there’s concrete, named accusations of him doing something as heinous as any of the Vince ones, him knowing about it or even being a non-participating accomplice isn’t gonna take him out. The Matt Demott stuff didn’t even put a dent into his legacy, he has an overwhelmingly positive narrative surrounding him leading up to this.

The parts about Vince texting her photos to everyone made me even more pissed at the WSJ for including a picture of her in the article. Scum.

ARMBAR A COP posted:All the wrestlers who love Vince always seem to see him as a father figure this always felt like a deliberate manipulation of his relationship with the wrestlers as a whole especially with his tactic of hiring a bad cop to do the releases/fines so when they're gone from the company they always have that perspective of "Well Vince loved me and was boys with me but that GOD drat jim ross/john laurenaitis/nick khan had it out for me! they're the reason i lost my job!!!".

On his podcast Jarrett talks with great respect and sincerity how thoughtful Vince was to give him time off when his wife had cancer and in like the next sentence talks about how all that time off meant he was going to make less money and that was trouble and did not seem to put two and two together.

Wrestlers are deeply stupid. The fact that the wwe locker room almost unanimously seems to agree that Kane is just the smartest guy they’ve all met tells you everything you need to know

I suppose that would make sense with them going forward with naming Brock. 1glitch0 posted:As grotesque as the allegations are (and they are very grotesque) the texts that look like they were made by a horny maladjusted teenage virgin takes it to a deeper psycho level for me. It goes back to that truly weird "I wanted to shove leaves in her" thing that always creeped me the gently caress out about Vince. (Just being extra careful with spoilers here in light of everything)

It's also insane that none of this would be happening if Vince hadn't gotten so full of himself he decided he could get away with refusing to keep paying the hush money payments.

On the topic of getting Vince out, I knew he was insulated but I forgot he was this insulated. Will depend on how hard it is to change the articles of incorporation in the state they are incorporated in. Would be fitting if they are stuck with Vince. https://twitter.com/BrandonThurston/status/1750728548355092961 Still think it's more likely than not he ends up gone.

He talks to the Road Warriors and Luger who are coked out of their mind and everyone else is having a wild party. Then they come across Cornette who is just sitting there reading a book and they all act like he is Einstein.

The people that go to the Rumble aren't gonna care about any of this. It's not like Vince is gonna show up so you're not gonna have a situation like Jericho getting "NDA" chants at him. Then after tomorrow WWE is gonna push hard on the winners and any surprise returns to drown out this story. Eventually in a few months Vince will quietly resign and everyone else will have quietly gotten away with it. Vince will never face serious consequences because rich people get away with everything and the world sucks.

The entire reason they sold to Ari was so Vince could keep his spot, I really don't think they have any recourse besides saying pretty pretty please.
