Am I the only one genuinely worried that one of these days, he’s going to power walk out to the ring, do his little “Thank you all” thing, produce a gun from his jacket, and shoot himself?
Because I don’t for even a second believe that he *wouldn’t* both want to go out like that AND actually go through with it.
He has never been the most stable person, and having his life’s work torn away from him could send him over the edge.

Stock is down this morning, after a slight rebound, but amongst the wider picture of the stock market generally being up after a really bad week last week (that WWE was actually bucking and was going higher until the Vince news broke) it's not the best.
It's not a particularly big drop though, only about 1.6% and when you consider the stock is up generally year to date by 21%, you know Vince is going to be suggesting to anyone that is listening it's not in freefall because of his presence rather than in spite of it.

The cynicism of this behavior is reaching Fritz levels. Shane has had way too much success on his own for Vince to be considered Fritz-like.

Words cannot express how much I loathe this man.
Like thank you for giving me countless memories growing up, but also f*** your ego you gross piece of shit.
The fact people still cheer and BOW to this man after everything he's done is beyond me.

I assume this is Vince’s way to counteract the headlines that made it seem like Vince was out completely. Keep himself in the public eye on television. Not the way I would approach things but I’m guessing that’s the angle.

Him being out on TV sends a message to the stockholders and to the investigators there's nothing to these allegations. Vince is a madman

Thank god he’s just spouting generic rah rah announcement type of material and not discussing the allegations on-air (though there would be a certain car crash can’t look away aspect to the latter).

Considering that Ace is probably gone soon, if something is even found and with no real successor in the wings (I mean, Steph’s already out considering the stories about her out there, whether true or not), he could just show them this and go “Look, I’m popular. I can’t be taken out of power or else those people might go” and they’ll just go “Well, that’s fair enough” and keep him in position.

The fact people still cheer and BOW to this man after everything he's done is beyond me. People made sure to watch so they could see him exploit the awful things he had done in real life, sadly being a an awful person just gives him more money and viewers nowdays. I did read from a few comments that there were people booing insulting him and the cheer was pipes but at this point,who knows?Very possible.

Anyone who thinks this is anything but a sociopath flaunting his position of power in front of his victims is f***ing delusional.

Another week or so and Vince will be going from city to city to have campaign rallies.

Between McMahon and Kotick, I'm pretty fed up with sexpest billionaires who think they're untouchable.

He knows no matter what he's done or does people will eat his crap up. He knows he's gotten over on everyone for over 40 years and he's still doing it. He knows he's untouchable. He gave Cena his shot at stardom so of course Cena will come back. It's going to take more than one woman and one investigation to do him in. And with WWE really being still the main promotion, I doubt many will risk speaking out.

Why? People will continue cheering him and most people keep watching regardless of what he's accused of. What does he have to lose? This man has been directly accused of sexual assault in the past, he takes Saudi blood money, and yet this is probably the one sole site in the world where interest in WWE has tangibly declined - their ratings are essentially in-line with the universal trend. This man could be outright exposed as the next Weinstein and he'd still struggle to stay below a million live viewing acolytes.

It pisses me off he’s trying to make this into a thing. It’s such an obvious ploy on his part and it pisses me off even more that so many people will buy into it.

I saw someone say his recent live appearances are like his version of stupid, embarrassing Twitter posts & I agree. It’s all he knows. Some people need their keyboards/phones taken off them, Vince needs the live mic taken off him & he needs to be locked in a broom cupboard for the entirety of the show.

I would like to know the percentages of the people worshipping Vince during these appearances who:
- Read the actual news - Think it's cool that Vince is "getting action" in his 70s - Are in a romantic relationship currently - Are in, or have ever been in, a healthy romantic relationship - Think Elon Musk is a badass - Don't see the big deal with what Louis C.K. did - Have ever used "simp," "cuck" or "beta" as an insult - Own a WWE replica title belt

I think this appearance thing for Vince is simply an ego trip. He's been battered in the press, investigated by the board, & no doubt chastened by his legal team. So now he walks out in front of thousands of cheering fans to feel good about himself, stroke that ego a bit.

I feel like this might lead to an angle where Stephanie fires him on air.
I also might be thinking too creatively.
It seems odd he's doing this instead of just shoe horning himself in the angle with fury..
