When it comes to Wall Street, they protect their own until it starts screwing them over. Like $12 million in hush money sounds like a lot to the average person, but is a relative drop in the bucket for your typical billionaire. Bill Gates wipes his ass with $12 million.

Like $12 million in hush money sounds like a lot to the average person, but is a relative drop in the bucket for your typical billionaire. Bill Gates wipes his ass with $12 million. This isn't about Wall Street - this is about Hollywood. If NBC/Universal starts losing out on major film distribution deals because of their relationship with Vince McMahon, Monday Night Raw might well because Saturday Afternoon Smuckup - if USA doesn't simply pull the plug. If Fox starts losing sponsorships left and right because Vince can't keep his hand off WWE's rudder, think Smackdown's going to stay in that Friday night spot? When this hit the dailies, that was basically a heads-up to the entire industry not to work with Vince McMahon. That means, no celebrity guest hosts, no movie plugs on Raw or Smackdown, no promotional deals for upcoming films - nothing of that sort. Logan Paul could well be the last celebrity to have anything to do with WWE for a while.

I've always wondered why Mushnick hates Vince so much. It's beyond professional or even moral outrage, it's a pure kind of hatred that makes me feel there is a personal story there somewhere.

IMO the worst thing that (and I already saw some of it kicking up elsewhere) is gonna result from this if nothing is done about Vince and things just go back to normal is now everyone is gonna start to look and question each and every single female talent in the company , which while I know has been a thing but this would make it so much worse.
The validity of what they did to get hired to their push , call ups etc it is gonna be a constant etc.
Like right now from what SRS said there is an edict at media scrums that there are to be no questions about Vince or anything relating to him right now...eventually that is no longer going to be the case and someone like a Bianca is gonna be put in a really unfortunate situation when she is in public and gets asked.
IMO Vince remaining in any sort of power let alone with the company puts the talent since they are the ones out doing media in a horribly unfortunate situation.

I mean…he’s not wrong about any of that. Yes he is. Rosenberg has talked on his wrestling podcast about the allegations multiple times, and has also prefaced it by saying that he obviously can’t go too deep into it since he works for WWE in some capacity, but that if you’ve listened to the podcast on similar allegations in the past then you’ll know what his position is. The part about the music that plays on Hot 97 and him not saying those same words on the Michael Kay show doesn’t even make sense. I get people may find him annoying on preshows/Hot 97, but Rosenberg is also by all accounts a pretty approachable and cool dude.

f*** Phil Mushnick.
If you think Vince hates his fans, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Guy is a wrestling hating douche and is critical of every NYC sports media figure who is more successful than he is. He never made it big outside of written journalism and eats at him. So he gives cruel one sided critiques of others. Mike Francesa is another target of his.
I remember when Road Warrior Animal died he wrote something like “Not like Rosenberg cares.”
So again, f*** Phil Mushnick

So... They send Titus O'Neil out there to do some promo about "Oh, WWE is a safe space free from religion and politics". Two things...
1. That's our gimmick
2. Pre-emptive strike?

You know why that mattered in 1970 Phil? Because inter league wasn’t a f***ing thing then, so it was all star game or World Series. No all star game in North American sports matters a f*** to fans these days. I’m an avid NHL, MLB and NFL watcher and often skip them. They’re just not that interesting

"We never talk about religion or politics"
- Vince had a feud and match with "God" - HHH f***ed Katie Vick's corpse in a Funeral Home which I'd say is pretty religious - The Ministry hanging people from Crosses - Brother D-Von Dudley - Mordecai - "Eddie's down there, IN HELL" - The Forgotten Sons - Barak Obama Impersonator - The first week or so of Retribution - Trump vs Rosie - The Vince "dream" where he woke up from a coma, heard Linda was running for a political seat, and he could be President, with his opponents sticker taped to his ass
Like I know they treat everyone who watches like dumb pieces of shit all the time, but a statement like that is so hollow, especially given your past is very easily accessible...

Wait, wasn't the story was they filmed Katie Vick and in the next room an actual funeral was going on? And they told them to keep it down?

He hates wrestling completely. According to a certain wrestling manager, when Ted Turner recieved some award from a charitable organization, he thought that Ted should cancel WCW. If AEW ever got more mainstream, I'm sure he'd go after that too.
