ConsolidatedLard posted:Barely ever post on here but man, all of this poo poo truly makes me sick. What are they meant to say about it? No matter what they say, there's really little way it won't come off as a bunch of chancers taking the opportunity to dunk on the WWE, and as stated in the post above this, it's also a reasonable possibility that other promotions and companies have their own skeletons that might get dragged out into the light as a result.

Sex Farm posted:Agreed. Nobody should say anything because of reasons. What if someone who says a bad thing about a bad thing but was also guilty of a bad thing?? The house of cards would tumble to dust. Thank you for your input on the wwe/Vince McMahon trafficking allegations thread. Looking forward to more exciting insights I have no obligation to defend a position I never took.

Dawgstar posted:"Oddly" it never comes up. He’s spent the better part of the last two decades downplaying the extent of their relationship in the 90s, and IIRC, in his work-out book-and-autobiography Making The Game, which was written during the reign of terror and is also where those gurning weightlifting photos come from, she’s downgraded to “workout buddy.” At the time they also pretty effectively assassinated her character as well. Poor woman deserved better.

I keep wondering how long this has been going on for, to be honest. I can't imagine the victim at the centre of this and the hush money scandal was the only one to be treated in this way.

Dango Bango posted:Rita Chatterton was 30+ years ago MassRafTer posted:This is one where you can just go back and forth making yourself more depressed. The earlier allegations we have details on were so different but have creepy details that foreshadow the details in this case. The promises made to Rita, the insane staring and arrogance in the Florida case, and the cases we know nothing about... the payment to the former wrestler was so gigantic it seems to imply something truly awful. Yeah, that's where I started thinking about this. It's definitely a horrible rabbit hole to fall down, and considering the involvement of Brock Lesnar in the current case, it also makes me wonder about other top level talent where women victimised by Vince McMahon and pals were used to sweeten deals during negotiations, and how many people in the locker room during this period were aware. I'd believe it if someone way down the card who's at risk of being cut during the annual bloodletting or toiling away in NXT says "mate don't look at me, I had no idea," but I'm pretty sure the top half of the card is full of good Germans, you know? I don't know about anyone else, but it feels to me like we're only just scratching the surface of McMahon's extra-curriculars.

I remember reading the affidavit, and feeling that Vince McMahon and his cronies deserved to have every word of that document carved on their faces with a rusty knife. I now believe that the 67-page document from the current allegations should also be carved onto their faces. Every single word.

To humour Dutch Mantell, yes, he is probably guilty of what he’s accused of. It’s a pattern of behaviour that can be traced to the 80s with Rita Chatterton at least, and with poo poo we probably don’t even know about, and very likely from earlier than that. It’s never just the one victim with people, so-called, like Vince McMahon. And besides, Brian Zane put it nicely - they can’t all be lying.

I've been thinking about this video about Irish politics in the late 90s, specifically the preamble for the last week or so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0wAbQUMfWs I wonder how many others in Vince's orbit have just had their personal doomsday clocks tick closer to midnight.

This whole thing with The Rock getting the main event in itself also does give some idea of the level of disconnect that exists between the executive level and WWE creative, so-called, considering when Rock became a board member and was given the WM40 main event, no one bothered letting creative know. End result, they appeared to be going full steam ahead with Cody finishing the story, only to have to pull the rug out from underneath him. The left had has no idea what the right hand is doing.

UnleashedDad posted:I think we can firmly put Cena not only in the "knew what's up" category but also in "partook and is hoping nothing else comes out". That's a man that is flailing unnecessarily if I ever saw one. He's got a guilty mind. Feel like you're jumping the gun here. He probably knew some extent of what was going on - Meltzer's words were (paraphrasing a bit here) "everybody knew some aspect of [it], but few knew the full extent of the depravity" and I'm hoping he falls into that category. gently caress him for leaping to Vince's defence though.

Ganso Bomb posted:I think it’s somewhat notable when anyone speaks out against them even if it’s not introducing any new information, especially when it’s someone like Rousey who has said many horrible and lovely things in the past. It’s nice to see even a broken clock sees them for who they are and can apparently confirm that it’s even still a gross boys club from her own short run there. Yeah, I'm really struggling to see anything really wrong with what Rousey said here. Considering how she was immediately presented as a big deal almost immediately, I think it's fairly likely that she may have been insulated from a lot of the kind of poo poo that the women hired around the time of, or via, the Diva Search probably got subjected to.
