In the legal front, is there any chance that search warrant issued against him had anything to do with this? Is there any hope he still gets criminal charges at some point?

Absolutely disgusting.
And of course his little lapdog Laurinaitis was involved.
Really, really disappointed to see Brock's name come up in all this, too.

People like Vince, with all their money and power, think that they're untouchable. And, tragically, in many cases they absolutely are. As of right now, he still basically is. And yeah, they’ll probably axe him now. But being forced out of a company as a very rich old man isn’t much punishment either. He still got away with this for his (presumably) entire adult life because of the money and power he has. From everything we've ever heard about Vince, if they fire him, take away his legacy, leave him with nothing but his money - he at least wont be happy. By all accounts he's estranged from Stephanie, and likely from Linda. No idea what his relationship with Shane is like, without his job - which is what has defined and been his entire life - he's nothing. Ultimately that'll be his legacy. A dirty sexual abuser, possibly in to some freaky fetishes, who ruined people's lives. He'll go away to obscurity with money, but nothing to do in his life and all he had to show for it pretty much taken away. There's some solace in that at least. |

I think it was reported at the time that the search warrant and subpoena was issued by a Federal grand jury and "related to a past investigation into whether he paid hush money to employees following allegations of sexual misconduct." That was back in the summer if I remember correctly, so it doesn't seem too likely that charges were filed then, but it's definitely possible that some could be coming in the future. |

This shit doesn't just happen in silence. Nothing like this can happen in a business were multiple people operate without people knowing. Nothing like this can be coveted up without a bunch of people agreeing to cover it up. It's a systemic problem that allows monsters to be in power and brainwash it's fanbase into cheering anyway.
In short, actually f*** this company.

The least surprising part of this is Vince shitting on someones head.

Been saying it for years, but any moment now, Vince is going to press that giant red button under his desk which makes Titan Towers explode. The new owners of that building will be very confused. |

Nick Khan was publicly singing Vince's praises as recently as 2 days ago, and HHH has had zero problem in the past looking the other way when it comes to people under him continuing their abusive behavior (see: DeMott, Bill). I have no doubt in my mind they knew about this. I will always bring up the Triple H office tour video where he showed that he had a bunch of monitors at his desk that let him see the goings on at the Performance Center whenever he wanted, recorded and released before the DeMott controversy went public. He knew. He knew, and if somehow he didn't, all it would have taken was turning on a TV in his office when the accusations were brought to him and keeping an eye on the situation. There's really zero evidence he's not involved in covering shit up or actively trying to get rid of anything, and finding out the investigation squad he was on was a sham really only adds weight to the idea he's scum too. |

I don't believe for a second that the higher ups in WWE didn't know about this. The lawsuit says as much. Anyone that was more worried about their job than helping that woman can f*** off as well. Yeah that's what stands out. It doesn't seem like two people acting in isolation. It's not just vague rumours people couldn't act on. Multiple people from the execs, office and roster were involved or complicit. Can't even call it an open secret, it was brazen. Things have improved and its easy to think it's a new company with endeavour, Hhh and Nick Khan but the same people and structures still exist, just with more money and power behind them. How does an internal investigation fail to turn up anything? The company is rotten to the core. |

It pretty much always has been...there have been countless terrible stories about what goes on in WWF/WWE all the way back to basically Vince buying it. |

How does an internal investigation fail to turn up anything? The company is rotten to the core. I think the issue is until we know what they knew, we dont know what they knew. There is always the chance people didn't know the full extent of it. There is difference between an abuse of power sexual relationship and trafficking and defecating on someone. Many people may have known about the one, but I can't imagine too many people knew the full details of the latter, and even if they found out (and I'd assume Nick, HHHunter and Steph likely did), it is possible they felt getting rid of Vince and Johnny Ace, and then ultimately seeing him sidelined by the TKO sale, would be them making it better. Whether that was the right thing to do, or even if that's what they did do, is open to interpretation and likely wont be confirmed unless we get some solid evidence released. |

I don't know what is less shocking the content involved in lawsuit or the fact Vince texts like a 12 year old boy.

In short, actually f*** this company. And it’s always been a systematic problem. Go as far back as the ring boy scandal. The company has been like this the whole time. This isn’t the far past either. Vince was showing this woman’s photos to people at shows in 2022. It’s still going on. |

" . . . dildos he named after WWE wrestlers."
This is actually the worst thing I've ever read. So envious of illiterate people right now.

"In a May 2020 encounter, McMahon defecated on her head during a threesome, the suit said." Holy mother of f***. That's "Lapsed Vince is real" territory. LOL |
