BigBallChunkyTime posted:If a settlement is what Ms Grant needs for at least a little bit of closure I hope she gets it. But if she wants to drag those motherfuckers publicly and have her day in court I hope she does. But it would likely be years away due to all the legal bullshit WWE would pull. It depends on the case but TKO right feels very much in the Settle any cases that have merit to make them go away mode cause of Cung Le lawsuit. They settled with MLW when they couldn't stop it going to Discovery. I feel they very much will just want this to go away and despite Vince's bluster will probably settle sooner rather than later

The new sponsors pulling out is big as it took years for them to build up relationships with better sponsors and its all going away and even if Vince leaves it might be impossible to get back

Punk post WWE very much went after them for stuff like the blood money shows and it makes his silence/shilling for the Rumble even more disgusting cause it's clear he's being silent for the money. Plus you know if he didn't gently caress up in AEW he wouldn't have to do this

Like while I understand the talent that just shows up to work and doesn't speak out on anything cause I get it, need money and not a lot of wrestling jobs out there....I am disappointed they aren't speaking out cause this could force actual change on the company But if you have actively spoken out before and are silent now? Yeah that's a big scumbag approach

I suspect WWE is also gonna be used to test the ad system for live content so they can show sports leagues they can do it like TV or even better. When you look at the deal closely it's clear Netflix actually holds all the cards and while not bad for WWE I'm not sure it's a good deal.

Johnny Ace does feel like a name that may slip through the cracks even if reporters keep covering the case but he 100% needs to be more shamed and feel consquences Looking back at HHH press conference last night and the more you look at his answer the worse it gets cause not only it's bad morally it sure does open the door for business reporters to look closely at things. Top level executive ignoring something that 100% affected business sure does raise flags for share holders

There is also a danger for a non wrestling person to not get why Vince has such power over talent and not able to see that part of the picture whereas a Wrestling person may default to "Well that's just wrestling" for somethings

bartok posted:Was anyone into those bikini contest and gravy matches besides Vince and his buddies back in the day? Even as a horny teen I never found it titillating just made me embarrassed to be a wrestling fan. They always died with the live crowd even during peak Attitude era crowds that would usually lap up T&A and sex appeal. Just awful segments that very much were designed to humiliate people

Given the amount of NDA's out there it could be a case like the Cung Le lawsuit and TKO may not be able to settle just cause of the precedence it'll set. They might have to fight it for sometime despite not really being able to fight both suits at the same time

Given the press conference and Dwayne joining the board I actually believe that timeline, especially since they had Vince there hyping it up (if they knew the lawsuit was coming they 100% wouldn't have had Vince there).

MassRafTer posted:The best we can hope for is a series of exposes causes the stock to crash and large scale purges combined with UFC losing their class action lawsuit leading to TKO being sold off for parts to the funniest possible people. The UFC lawsuit makes me think TKO is gonna fight this cause if they start settling it'll kill the stock just from the sheer volume they'd have to settle from other potential suits. But if this gets to Discovery and isn't sealed they'll be hosed I guess they try and blame it all on Vince and try and say he should be the target and TKO shouldnt

Grem posted:Can you even settle antitrust lawsuit? Seems like that defeats the purpose but also ironically the funniest outcome possible. The Cung Le anti-trust is a civil suit so I think they can settle(don't hold me to it), it's just Class action with the potential of up to 1000 fighters being involved so any settlement could be as devastating as losing in court. It's why they went to Discovery instead of just paying the money when it wasn't thrown out, it's has the potential to be in the hundreds of million on the low end along with also setting precedent to allow other fighters not in the case to sue as well It's why TKO settled with MLW, they 100% want to be focusing on this case as they have to win or the company is in big trouble. So of course a big Sex trafficking/Abuse/Rape civil suit is 100% not what they want to deal with right now. But again we know there's multiple NDA's out from Vince and chances are there is more we haven't heard of or people afraid to come forward. As much as TKO would like this to go away the losses if they settle and don't fight it could potentially be big so they're probably going to have to fight this even if Discovery is gonna be horrible for them

Hell one of the reasons the steroid stuff didn't stick in the 90's is the public really didn't care like it ended up doing for Baseball cause it was wrestling...It being fake means it really shouldn't matter that people are taking steroids.

I could maybe give WWE talent the benefit of the doubt that they didn't get the full scale of what was going/thought it was maybe just wrestler BS if they came out denouncing it and looked inward for how they helped enabled. But Cena's response 100% doesn't deserve that
