This is a man who has never thought laws apply to him. It really seems like he was so rich and singularly powerful in the world of wrestling for so long that he completely lost the concept of other peoples' humanity. Regardless of what else is or isn't true those text messages confirm that he viewed this poor woman and everyone around him as his property to be used in whatever way he found entertaining. So like a Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk but just in wrestling not all over everything. |

I'm not about to be banned for outright saying it but I don't think prison is enough for him specifically. I don't think that's a heat of the moment statement either and normally believe in rehabilitation. Good f***ing lord.

Sickening.
I really just want to add aside from the obvious, that anyone who helped to hush this up for their own sake can f*** off all the way to hell, too. I suspect we'll never know quite how many people that includes or all of their identities, but f*** them regardless. I hope this gives them sleepless nights for a long long time.

Anyone in Vince's circle...which is probably quite a few people. |

Wouldn’t be surprised to see someone pop up with the “heck of a guy and satan” quote that always gets used here to defend Vince’s depravity. Gonna be very interesting to see if Hunter and other current bigwigs get caught up in this mess. If I was a wrestler and I read about the sex toy/race of wrestler thing, I’d be plenty pissed off. Endeavor may have to ax almost everyone in corporate, that's a huge profit driven company, they aren't going to let this kill it. sadly I don't think they care, people will tune in and watch anyway. At most they may sack Vince. |

There's also no way HHH, Nick Khan and everyone else didn't know this whole time either. Ugh.

Beyond that, they'll close ranks. Claim all they knew was that there was a relationship, which they already accepted, but not these details and they find them deplorable and so on. I doubt we'll see any sort of mass firing or clean out - the two named people will go and the PR spin will start for everyone else. |

True but I don't blame anyone not directly involved when talking about a private company in the 80s and 90s. It would be extremely difficult to get anywhere without hard evidence and with the culture back then you'd fear for your safety, especially post Bruiser Brody. But this was in a corporate environment in the past few years. With proper hr and policies in place, technolgy available, post Epstein, Saville, speaking out etc. If the will was there something could be done. It would be taken seriously. Especially with pictures and videos being shared freely to get the ball rolling. This is a man who has never thought laws apply to him. What absolutely boggles my mind is that for the last 40 or so years, he's basically been correct in that assumption, and his ability to escape any consequences just seems to make him more and more monstrous. I don't know if even this will be enough to finally put him away, but if it isn't, nothing will. |

Watch them just act like none of this happened and it's all made up.

After not watching any news today, this really was something i didn't expect at all. Sounds freaking crazy, and the fact that Lesnar is apperantly involved in this is something i wouldn't have expected.

Vince McMahon should be the exception to the laws against Cruel and Unusual Punishment. |

Jesus f***ing Christ.
All of it is horrendous but that f***ing "no means yes" part really stood out to me. Just screams rape culture. Sickening to think how many cases like this there may be and how many people were involved in covering it (them?) up.

Vince McMahon should be the exception to the laws against Cruel and Unusual Punishment. Pretty much. I'm thinking of all the weird timing stuff with Brock too like how Madlibs mentioned how he walked out the day Vince was ousted and... yeah. This shit is triggering as all hell. |

I sure as hell wouldn't bring Brock back Oh yeah, that dream match with Walter aint happening now. I'd expect to hear that a few more wrestlers knew about this too. Taker, Cena, Brock - weren't they the three that went to Vince's birthday dinner when he quit first time round? |

Considering who he's friends that also has levels of accusations his way as well. Doesn't surprise me one bit. |
