I'd love to think this will result in a mass clearing out of all the people involved and those who covered it up, but if anything comes of it, it's far more likely that Vince and Laurinaitis will be thrown to the wolves and they'll circle the wagons around everyone else. And of course, Vince and Laurinaitis deserve everything that's coming to them and more, but everyone involved should go. This is really an "The entire company should get the Death Penalty" (as in be put permanently out of business) moment. Come on now, I know you're upset, but you dont really want thousands of people to lose their jobs over Vince being a pervert. That wont help anyone.

Sadly there likely won't be any pushback form fans eiehter.,as I have seen even here. " I don't care as long I'm entertained" Dude half the fans would chant thank you Vince and tell you somehow that lady wanted that stuff. I have already seen a woman say that the victim was a "willing participant".

"Vince being a pervert" is a VERY VERY VERY kind way of putting a corruption of sex abuse that needed multiple people from all parts of the company to cover up for decades

There's no way to get the toxic taint of Vince off of it. He's been doing this shit for 40-50 years. Every time someone comes out, it's going to be "I wonder if the creepy old f***er used a dildo named after that guy to r*** people". You CANNOT have a company associated with that.

I can't imagine any way that the current people in charge of the shows I do enjoy like HHH/HBK didn't know. I'm kinda with Allie on this one, except maybe not a full blown destruction but a period of time where all the shows are postponed and shit can actually change but I'm also not dumb enough to think that would change anything. They'd just wait it out.

"Vince being a pervert" is a VERY VERY VERY kind way of putting a corruption of sex abuse that needed multiple people from all parts of the company to cover up for decades The most concerning part is there is no way a good number of people still working there didn't know about this...and likely nothing will happen to them.

Also, Cuties was meant to criticize the sexualization of young girls and a ton of people missed the point and lost their minds over it. My actual thoughts on that can't be discussed on this forum. But, suffice to say, that's a much different situation than platforming a corporation that (allegedly) systemically aided and abetted its CEO in egregious sexual misconduct for years.

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

They'd just wait it out. At least, you'd have to replace everyone who ever willingly worked with Vince. Vince is STILL with the company to this day, so that's EVERYONE who's currently there.

Triple H has to go down as well in my book as there is no way on earth he didn't know about these things let alone his own failings and I imagine he has a bunch of skeletons in his closet himself so he can go to hell to. I hope a lot of the talent working in WWE have second thoughts on staying with this rotten company

I'm feeling sick reading this. And this is only one complaint. How many MORE people did Vince and his enablers affect? How many looked the other way? It keeps getting worse the more I read.
Bryan Alvarez, a few moments ago on Observer Live, asked "how many other NDA's are 'unenforceable'?" and that's also genuinely terrifying.
Wealthy people in power are genuinely frightening, man...playing with people's lives like this.
I hope everyone involved on the WWE end receives the utmost consequences (but knowing corporate life, I'm not holding my breath).

They'd just wait it out. At the end of the day, this is still pro wrestling. Vince should have been out of the business years ago, but more specifically after 2022, and he still came back. To regular media, it's still a circus, and the pro wrestling media needs their access and won't stand up for it.
