Executive 1 is named as a board member, Dunn wasn't on the board. Neither was Carrano, as far as I can tell.

Executive 2 wasn't a board member, so that doesn't disqualify Carrano. Dunn has been on the board in the past and this suit puts his selling of stock in 2022 in a new light.

Read the affadavit. They are text messages sent FROM vince. Its his own words from his own phone.

The point is that Vince is a known bullshitter with a specialty in humiliation fiction. Just because Vince says he was sharing porn with someone who matches Mike Chioda's profile does not mean that Twitter should burn Chioda's house down. Some of these unnamed people were not cited to have direct contact with the accuser at all. They just were roped into it because Vince said he was roping them in, but he also said "thousands of people" knows that she's a slutty bad girl as part of his effort to humiliate her and soften her to more abuse.

But the suit explicitly states that Executive 1 was on the Board while Grant was employed. Dunn was no longer on the Board years before she was hired.

Dunn was not a member of the board during 2019-2022. He doesn't really fit any of these descriptions.

Your employee board members at any time during that period are

Triple H: 2019-2022 and remains an employee post merger.
Stephanie McMahon: 2019-2022, leaves company pre merger.
Nick Khan: 2020-2022, remains post merger and also on the board post merger (no one is mentioned being a post merger board member, but it might be an irrelevant detail)
Riddick: 2019-2022, but was only an employee for part of this period because he was interim CFO following Barrios and Wilson leaving.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Michael J Beverage, I've got a bone to pick with you.
The Rumble is nearly sold out and it's happening whether you like it or not. Punk has a job to do so I don't find it that unreasonable that he's watching old rumble matches to prepare for that.

I'd like to see what some of you would do put in his position and not just sitting in front of your computer angry posting about it. I'm just sure you would all quit your jobs immediately and burn the world's supply of Slim Jims. :rolleyes:
