I don't know how many media partners and sponsors will distance from WWE over this, but they've all got to be having the talk with their PR firms. WWE isn't worth sticking by through this shit.

Netflix is right now in a bit of a crisis state with subscriber loss, and the idea of having to shelve a multi-million dollar documentary is not going to make anybody there happy. WWE might lose the Netflix deal entirely over this.

Yeah, like I said, this is where the real change will come. Mostly because this shit is just going to get worse before it gets better, do these companies want to be associated with it as worse as it gets?

They should've released the documentary but brought on Tommy Dreamer just to see what he says.

I mean, it was never a secret that Vince was a piece of shit. We've had enough hints over the years. This stuff was always going to come out, but nobody thought it would happen while he was still alive, or be on this level. Why the company and so many fans continue to stand by him is a mystery to me. I finally quit watching full-stop in May, right before the allegations first came out. Because over the last year, I've had to see all the shitty stuff this company does be front and center and I'm tired of saying, "f*** this company", only to have "see you Monday/Tuesday/Friday" be implied. WWE is absolutely toxic and as long as Vince is still alive and the McMahon family is in anyway involved, it's always going to be.
It sucks, because I became a wrestling fan through WWE and I still enjoy the older stuff. But when Vince does die, they need to oust Stephanie and Triple H, at least for a year or two, and completely rebrand. New name, new focus. I know most people will disagree with me, but that's my opinion, at least. If I were a sponsor, I wouldn't touch them with 100 foot pole right now, record profits be damned.

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve seen this zinger since the first story broke, *I* would’ve been able to buy WCW at that price.

The netflix series looks to be toast. Winner for the most unprofessional comment? 'That shit's outta here' sounds like something someone wants to hear rather than something someone in that position would actually say. Granted, I expect lots of people to be cutting ties, it's just that they'll do it professionally, not like that. Today's scandal is tomorrow's deal.

Someone high up at Netflix saying an off-the-cuff remark like "that shit's outta here" is entirely believable. Not like they put it in a press release.

The longest of long shot ideas: Someone cool like Mark Cuban buys out all the terrified stockholders and someone gains enough voting power to hostilely oust VKM. Shane O'Mac remembers a certain 2001 invasion buyout storyline and actually helps. Shane cleans house in the 'E, which starts an epic, public family feud. Stephanie and HHH go off and start their own promotion... to control the NXT narrative, if you will.
Shane jumps off something high in celebration and shouts, "Who's red-faced and blown up now, Vinnie Mac?!"
But odds are, Vince's sordid affairs could have produced a long-lost [non 'Swoggle or Ken Anderson] heir, who becomes an unsackable owner.
Yes, I played a lot of EWR in the day.

Netflix has in fact pulled the documentary, but WWE did successfully negotiate the right to put it out via Coliseum Home Video.

McMahon owns a majority of voting shares so he can't ever be forcibly ousted by the shareholders.

Not to minimize what happened to these women, but Netflix has bigger problems on its hands than Vince not keeping his cock in his pants. Vince being a sex pest isn’t even top ten of why they’re facing doom.
