If it genuinely was all consensual (let's put aside the power imbalance of a lower-ranking member of staff being approached by the big boss for this hypothetical) then it's scummy, but potentially something the board won't care about as long as it wasn't company cash paying them off. If anyone involved says they were coerced or forced though, it becomes something entirely different. The fact that these NDAs were in response to allegations of misconduct mean that something's off there, though.

Does that make Theory "Vince's Toy" as well? Because I can totally hear that chant in some less-than-friendly arenas soon. wrestling fans stay dedicated to posting baffling things I'm sorry...who are you, exactly? Are you _not_ a wrestling fan, by chance? You may have taken a wrong turn and ended up here. Because I can totally imagine segments of the IWC taking a ball like that and running with it. You (well, the generalized "you", not you specifically because....) just _know_ that AEW promos for the next week are going to be all over this news like kudzu. And Theory may not come out of it unscathed.

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. Fire him for a year and bring him back after he says he learned his lesson Nah. I think if Johnny ends up getting the boot because of this, he won't be coming back this time.

So you paid out all that money for a hush hush relationship and didn’t have an NDA

Very Al Capone going down for tax evasion if Teflon Vince survives Snuka, Owen, Steroids, Benoit, Ring Boys scandals ect ect only for his inability to keep it in his pants to be his fall.

Vince at this moment is desperately searching Titan Towers for that neck brace

This got leaked to the Journal by a whistleblower and assuming a friend of the person who signed the NDA leaked it to the board. Or someone on the board caught wind and was like OK, enough's enough.

Everything else I agree with but Vince had nothing to do with Benoit snapping and killing his wife and kid. That’s on Benoit.

When his wife was sick with cancer he basically left to go take care of her and be with her. I could be wrong, but that seems to be one area where he doesn't mess around.

I dont think boards have morals. This is going to hurt the stock, could hurt sponsorship deals and might impact optic value of the company come TV renewal time. That means the board members lose money through loss of value in their stock. It's more likely this is a sympathetic mock investigation to publicly say this was a personal matter and not one for the Board to be involved in. With Johnny thrown under the bus at some point.

But it sounds like the NDA was at the very end of the relationship, which leaves a whole lot of time to talk during.

I've always said, if wrestling fans hadn't "cancelled" Vince by now, they may never do it. This man hasn't even tried hiding what type of person he is, and Vince has survived all of it without a mark on his face. This will put my "Vince will never be cancelled as long as he provides wrestling content" theory to the test.

If there is wrongdoing on Vince and Ace's part, I don't have much faith in the WWE's internal investigations into it, given how they've handled other HR matters in the past. Remember, they 'investigated' Bill DeMott and the coach accused of sexual harassment in NXT more than once, first by giving DeMott the complaints against him so he could abuse then cut his accusers, and the second time out, not reaching out to any of his accusers.

This sounds like the Board wants to sell and Vince is in the way. I seriously doubt this is the first sexual impropriety or the first payoff, someone just knows this one probably has legs.
