Sorry, I should have been more specific, when I said read the article, not just the headlines, it's because the specifics are much worse than the headlines.

This is not a shock if we are honest. I mean it’s a shock he hasn’t got called out on it before now. I see Johnny ace is also in the thick of this new reports. Awww that’s ter…. *Switches tape* oh hahahahahahahahha. Ah well that’s cheered up my Friday if Johnny ace gets his waking papers. I’m all for that.

This is the type of shit that could take the whole industry down a peg and make advertisers more hesitant to buy against any wrestling program. Vince needs to go before he takes the whole thing with him.

Looking at it from a different angle, John Cena's team of people must be tearing their hair out that he was seen on screen with Mcmahon only last week. I don't see for example Dwayne Johnson going anywhere near WWE any time soon. Cena's probably a big ol' question mark at this point as well - and who knows how this might impact Sasha. I don't see Hollywood necessarily steering clear of any of WWE's talent, but damn straight they're going to approach the talent directly rather than let the company immediately shoehorn in on negotiations - if they approach the talent at all at this stage. And then, how will this impact the company's ability to attract folks from Hollywood? If Nick Khan isn't having nightmares over this, he's not sleeping. |

“Disgusting” cannot begin to describe Vince. We need a harsher word than this. In the words of a devoted worker killed by Vince’s negligence: Enough is enough and it’s time for a change!

I wish some current talent would say something. I get why they don’t.
Hell if I was Theory, I’d be begging to get away from Vince. I know a lot of fans won’t care, but like, he doesn’t need to be seen with the guy. Cena should be pissed too (though he knew about the first round of reports so, who knows)

It feels like wrestling was a boys club for a long, long time. |

Wonder if WWE sponsors would get cold feet with associating with a company run by a sex pest if the allegations intensify. Would make WWE spending all those years trying to make themselves all corporate friendly redundant. |

The bill absolutely does not always come due. Vince absolutely should go down for this as countless men in his kind of position should have, and haven't, even in the last few years. Most people's accusations don't even come out and many of those that do people ignore or deny or never even hear about. This is f***ing great, I hope they throw the book at him, and I hope it sets a precedent for people like him not being able to get away with this kind of shit any more But knowing how reality works I suspect he'll somehow be president within a few years Jimmy Savile was a legitimate monster and was never really treated as such to well after death. People even now try and ignore Joe Paterno turning a blind eye to an assistant raping children for decades cuz he was a good football coach People are weird. |

This is either tasteless or damning accusation and it's tough to get a read on which. the way I'm reading it It's either he spent so much on hush money we didn't have any money for a raise... or a I didn't do that so... either way... not great. |

“Disgusting” cannot begin to describe Vince. We need a harsher word than this. Like badwrong or badong. Yes, Vince is badong. From this moment, We should stand for the opposite of Vince: GNODAB! Sorry, saw a opportunity for a Kung Pow reference |

People even now try and ignore Joe Paterno turning a blind eye to an assistant raping children for decades cuz he was a good football coach People are weird. I think for some people it's a combination of 1) not caring because they weren't the ones directly impacted by it, and 2) separating the man from the performer/owner/whatever because he still provides value that feeds into their hobby/passion/addiction (in this case, Vince provides wrestling content). I honestly don't get why Vince wasn't held responsible for his nonsense years ago. Vince has not even been hiding in plain sight; he's legit written his fetishes into storylines, involved himself in them, and basically showed the world who he was. He either wanted to get caught at some point or is so arrogant that he felt he never would. Probably the latter. |

Heck, I remember the thread when the Sandusky allegations leaked. This mob of Penn State fans broke stuff on campus when his wins were- briefly, I should add- revoked in response. Dunno how many of them read the report but all they saw was their hero having titles erased. You need to separate that stuff. I forever have great memories of the 2011 Cardinals. Doesn’t excuse La Russa’s drunk driving. |

Tough day for those couple people who thought Vince would be vindicated in the end. But Vince is selfish and wrong so I guess they weren’t too off base? |
