…Is this it? Is this DA BIG ONE that finally takes him down? Probably not, but you never know. But he committed the biggest sin, he f***ed with rich people's money. Doesnt the article say he paid them from his own money? No skin off their sack. Now if this causes the stock to sink then they will have something to complain about.

Is the shit gonna hit the fan? Depends on if other news outlets decide to pick up the story. Right now though the attention is divided between the capitol hearings and the economy though. True, Vince might be lucky this dropped when it did and not 2 weeks ago before some hearings. But he committed the biggest sin, he f***ed with rich people's money. Doesnt the article say he paid them from his own money? No skin off their sack. Now if this causes the stock to sink then they will have something to complain about. He increased her pay from $100k to $200k after beginning a relationship, and that's company money.

yeah if I ever "defended him," it was through his decisions regarding the product. We all know he isn't exactly a patron saint to put it mildly. I wonder if this plays a role in the rise of Nick Khan and the departure of Stephanie. I mean... you know that doesn't defend you giving him money anyway, right? um... that's not what I was going for? Sorry I'm a little thrown off here. Even his biggest haters (from a product standpoint) give him money. That's not really the point to be made here.

And if you need any indication of why people grimaced so hard at the "be sexier" talks with NXT and the discomfort of Laurinaitis back into that position, here's why. This is a man who not only will carry on sexual relations with other employees but who is allegedly involved in really sick objectification of them as things to be passed around. What benefit of the doubt should he be given on that not all coming very closely together?

…Is this it? Is this DA BIG ONE that finally takes him down? Probably not, but you never know. I mean, Bill Gates got dropped for a consensual relationship with an employee at Microsoft. This could easily be it for both him and Laurinaitis, especially if details about what exactly led to those NDA's comes out. Who'd give a damn about the goings-on of a carny running a carny business in a carny industry? That's the loophole Vince has been rolling tanks through since he bought CWC back in the day. Now, this latest thing does so much to explain just about everything that's said to have gone down with the family recently. If Linda found out about the affair, dollars to donuts the push to cut costs to the utter bone is an effort to reduce the value of the company not to make it attractive for a sale, but to mitigate the blow of what could be the divorce of the century. I don't think Vince and Linda married with a pre-nup; given her contributions to the company and the McMahon fortune, she would walk away (if she chose) with a sizeable chunk of assets that might include a significant part of WWE. If Stephanie found out, I can imagine her being very, _very_ angry with her father to the point that she'd leave her post at the company. Trips's return to the fold might have been designed to be just enough to convince investors and others that things are normal. This news, now, is anything but normal.

The initial claim here is very bad because this is what got Bill Gates booted from MicroSoft but it is not worse case scenario....it is how this snowballs that is the real problem and this isn't something that McDevitt can save McMahons ass out of since their are e-mails and multiple NDA's. They are gonna dig and keep digging and who know whats about to be unearthed here and THAT is what is gonna bring down the empire because this isn't just someone random wrestler in the company this is the frigging boss himself and his skevey right hand shit bag partner in crime. Just reading that Vince passed off a woman to him like a toy is just.....ughhhhhh

Wonder if this leads to Johnny Ace not being Papa Bella anymore. Linda I'm sure hasn't been oblivious to Vince's infidelity.

Surely a Johnny Ace release would be admitting guilt though? So I'd be surprised.

My point was that even though I understand and get why he pushes some people over the guys the internet likes, doesn't mean I have blinders to what kind of a person he is.

Yep thats true. 100 grand may be a drop in the bucket but the fact that its company money is not good for Vince.

All Vince or Nick would have to do is claim that Johnny Ace was the instigator of it all (no matter how flimsy the excuse would be). That being said, this article will likely put a pretty significant damper on, if not outright kill WWE's NIL program, so I sure hope WWE likes having to grab talent from the indies again! Because I doubt big name colleges/universities are going to want their name attached to this mess.

Does that make Theory "Vince's Toy" as well?
Because I can totally hear that chant in some less-than-friendly arenas soon.

Sadly I really doubt anything whatsoever will come of this. At most Laurinaitis will be a sacrificial lamb but even then I'm not really expecting it.

On the corporate side, everything that’s been happening with WWE, feels like the BOD would like to phase out the underqualified carnies. The ironic thing being that, in order for WWE to have a chance to become everything the McMahons ever dreamed of, they probably need to be involved as little as possible. And the fact (which I believe this is) that the CEO does shit like this, is the reason why.
And that’s how this reads to me. The BOD would like to remove Vince as chairman. Like Applebonce did with Steve Jobs. Put the carny on the sidelines, let him collect his money, get some "real professionals" in here, and let’s sell this house of cards. But Vince is nothing if not resilient. And it wouldn’t surprise me if he skated on all this. And he walks away even mire rich and powerful than he is already.
