Not gonna happen but it's so bad that I think a complete rebrand is a realistic scenario. Offline non-wrestling fans I know all saying Vince is a bigger stain than Benoit and that if the way we treat Benoit is the standard, Vince should be completely memory holed.

Now is the time to change from wwe to wcw

Since we're on the subject of Punk, the only reason why Hausman alleged Jericho was like Weinstein based on nothing was because Punk told him to do it, right? Lol if so.

Sure would seem like it, there isn't much other reason to do it and then have no follow up or talk to any victims first

Obviously the worst example of the Show Must Go On mentality will always be Owen but I'm going back to how absolutely lackluster the show after Bray Wyatt's death was and how it started with a "golly gee the show must go on, we have to entertain :)" monologue. Like, I don't want this to be an X Company Vs Y Company thing but the memories of Jay Briscoe and Brodie Lee hover over AEW, their absences constantly acknowledged. There's this really distressing feeling to how Bray was so quickly given lipservice and moved on from, just another cog in the machine. It's a ghoulish company in so, so many ways.

It's funny that Cody made a point to describe wwe as a big family, while aew is the company that acts like a family. Maybe he meant another kind of family

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.

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.

The whole "watching Monday night raw" part seems suspect, how does anyone actually watch the entire three hours? Its like a parody tv show from
Demolition man or idiocracy, nothing but ads and entrances.

It should be noted that Johnny isn't exactly being honorable here, like with the lawsuit he's confirming things, but also that he did nothing wrong.

Fine with me, let him prompt discussion on this stuff. It'll only give the lawyers more to ask about if this goes to discovery. And if not, I have no doubt that Vince will take whatever revenge he can on those that try to screw him.

One thing a lot of the old guys from inside WWE will never be able to separate from Vince is paying for Paul Bearer's heart surgery so they'll always look upon him with some degree of fondness even if he treated them like poo poo and was monstrous in so many ways.

Seeing some very curious responses to Tony's comparison this week.

Is there any evidence that he's got more people than Jericho with issues? And was there ever anything solid on the Jericho accusations?

There's a whole lot of wwe fans using this to minimize the Vince stuff. It's all so twisted
