You know what? I'm going to break from the crowd here and say that as much of a ghastly old harpy as she is, I feel a small shred of sympathy for Linda, who either found out that he had been shagging Emily Feinberg in court during the steroid trial, or at the very least had his infidelity aired in court. Whatever I think of her politics or her extremely questionable business ethics, that's a hell of a humiliation.

the grand kids (shane's, steph & HHH's.) yeah, they will have had to grow up with wrestling fans & press verbally slaughtering their grandfather online & verbally. for as crazy as vince has seemed at times, he's still grandpa vince to them and for most kids grandparents & parents can do no wrong until you they get to adulthood and find out the truth.
shane, yeah a bit.. he's spent a lot of his adult life trying to prove he isn't like his dad and that he is his own man (who has a weird obsession with jumping off high things.) and trying to escape vince's shadow.
steph, I think has spent a lot of the last 20 years apologising for her dad's stupidity and assholeishness, while trying to prove she isnt a female mini-vince and dealing with his increasing demands to change the weekly shows up until the last 5 minutes of a show and the fallout from him doing that.

I feel a shred of sympathy for Vince being abandoned by his dad to live in a house of sexual and physical abuse certainly plays a hand with a lot of his issues. Especially since the mentality back then was "dont talk about it".
That being said he grew to being a monster and his kids probably had issues living within their dads shadow and also trying to have lives on their own which they couldn't. I know Shane has tried several times but he keeps getting pulled back in for some reason. Linda however is a POS for her politics and who she associates with so I feel no sympathy for her.

Not really, they're all rich and could leave at any point to do other things, which both Shane and Linda did. They're not in a position where like Kevin Dunn and Bruce Prichard, there's nowhere else that will pay them as well for what they do at the level they do it at. Most of their friends will have their own grandads who have their own skeletons.

Mostly the grandkids, given how young they are and how little choice they have over anything.
Linda, Shane, and Steph have had numerous opportunities, if not to leave, but to at least stand up to Vince and tell him bluntly to shape up and behave. Vince himself is a wealthy and powerful man who could choose to seek help for his issues and deal with whatever mental demons made him the mess he is today. Though I get that’s probably harder for Shane and Steph to stand up to their intimidating icon of a father.
Above all, I think it’s sad that precisely because this family is so rich and powerful, they never had anybody with equal or more power than them to tell Vince to his face to get his crap together and shape up.

Maybe the pet dog if they have one. Vince would've eaten it by now

Not really, I mean he's a billionaire, who gave them all high-paying jobs and lifetime financial security. That's a lot better than having a dad that's a meth head or wife-beater.

I'm sure Shane, Stephanie and especially Linda are all keenly aware of many, many company skeletons that are worse than anything that's ever leaked out to the public before, yet even with the stuff we know about, no one ever takes a stand and wipes their hands of it. They all suckle from the WWE teat in some way or another.

Just the kids. I hope they're still able to have relationships with their cousins and grandparents. The rest? Nah.

No, not really. For better or worse, I can pretty much guarantee that they (with the possible exception of Linda) don't view Vince as being evil in the way he's seen on here. In fact, I'd say lots of people who know Vince think quite highly of him - like Bryan Danielson for example.
So they don't see themselves as victims, and they are all filthy rich with an ability to do whatever they like. Don't think that requires any sympathy.

The main few-Shane, Linda, Stephanie, Hunter-as mentioned they all know enough to distance themselves and never return. No sorrow for them. I feel sorry for the grandkids as others have mentioned. The other four could leave and never return but they know where the bread is butter, they know Vince is the long term meal ticket. They wouldn't have the millions and the mansions and other luxuries without Vince and thus they stick with him or keep coming back when needed.

Absolutely not. Linda especially is an awful person and as a rule I don't care about billionaire families and their rich people problems.

Sort of.
