Karma Tornado posted:Behind the Bastards decided to do a reading-a-wiki-out-loud level history of the concept of pro wrestling and an entire episode about the Von Erichs for some reason before even really getting to Vince so it's not really "six episodes" about him. I'd never listened to it before and I think made it three episodes in before calling it quits. One of the episodes in the series was also an hour-plus about Andre the Giant, with nary a mention of Vince. It was a really, really unfocused series and not one I'll ever listen to again.

Behind the Bastards is a good podcast, but their Vince episode was really lackluster if you know anything about him ahead of time.

Edge & Christian posted:Like literally, the last numbered chapter of Ringmaster ends in 1999 with the reveal of the Higher Power. There's a "coda" that covers 1999 to present that runs about the same length as the examination of Vince and Linda buying the Cape Cod Coliseum in the late 1970s, which goes on for a long time because the author thinks it's really relevant how the McMahons agitated at city council meetings to get a liquor license and eventually abandoned the venue when it stopped being profitable, and how this is a skeleton key to how they used politics and capitalism to build their empire. That is quite the narrative choice to make. Glad I skipped this book.

And he kept him around until, I read on the forums here, someone in NXT had a spinal injury, I don't know if that's the exact reason but he still kept a idiotic coach that everyone hated and complained about who would literally get people injured and still kept him and defended him anyway. Paul with velveteen dream and trying to keep him around too.

He hired Bill DeMott to abuse trainees and then covered it up for two years while Bill DeMott abused trainees and let women be fired who complained about being sexually harassed. For one.

Bix reminding me on Twitter of the 13 women who went to the Times five-six years ago about Vince but whomever they talked to didn't know anything about wrestling so they didn't think they'd get a fair shake because the person at the Times wouldn't get it.

If intimidation, rape, sex trafficking, and coprophilia is a $3m payout, the $7m payout has to be some “Vince was Gilligan on Epstein Island” bullshit. It is in no way shape or form their responsibility to do so but I hope every single one of this demon’s victims comes out of the woodwork and he just spends the rest of his miserable life drowning in lawsuits and, at critical mass, criminal charges. Yes he is rich AF but there has to be some prosecutor somewhere looking to make a career on this.

The dollar amount of the payouts doesn't necessarily mean that the situations were more hosed up. Different people might demand more and vince was going to do whatever it took to keep things under control. People without lawyers might be willing to take less money when they're getting threatened with lawyers and there is no obvious route for blowing the whistle and the police are indifferent at best.

The Bill DeMott hazing was truly terrible. Matt Cardona and the jelly donut was a wild, horrifying story. It's just one incident of many - we had so many puzzle pieces, just not all the ways to connect them.Dawgstar posted:Bix reminding me on Twitter of the 13 women who went to the Times five-six years ago about Vince but whomever they talked to didn't know anything about wrestling so they didn't think they'd get a fair shake because the person at the Times wouldn't get it. God it sucks how misunderstood wrestling really is for specifically this reason. Ugh. It all goes down to how difficult it is to uncover all this poo poo because it's trapped in a web of ignorance and smoke and mirrors.

Riddick was a board member at the start but wasn't an employee outside of being interim CFO for a few months in 2020 and then being named CFO in November of 2021, while CO#1 was a high-ranking employee "at all times relevant." He also left the board after becoming CFO. disaster pastor fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Jan 30, 2024 |

Goons in this forum were told time and time again that WWE was an organization full of systematic abuse that covered it up at every opportunity, it was just less important than watching Monday Night Raw.
