Well, this may be the grossest thread in the history of FAN.
Vince McMahon is an absolutely vile creature. John Laurinaitis (don't care if I spelled it wrong) too. Ditto for Brock if he's indeed the wrestler referred to, which I believe he is.
I hate to even speculate on who all else could've been involved in any way, shape or form. If I'm TKO right now, I'd be thinking about cleaning out the whole corporate end and maybe even changing the name and starting fresh. I know, the name change thing will be controversial and likely a death knell for their investment. I'm just spitballing because the whole mess has me upset. I don't expect much of what I have to offer will be coherent, so I'm keeping my thoughts brief.

I just feel compelled to say that if there's anyone in this forum reading this thread right now that has experienced any sort of sexual assault or misconduct, I hope you're doing OK given everything coming out. You matter and you are cared about. I'm completely numb to mine. I'm horrified by this but I'm numb to mine.

Man, these past 2 years of WWE news have been a f**king ride.
I would also like the ride to stop, please and thanks.

Also, let me just add that anyone who has been affected or triggered by this, you're in my thoughts. You're not alone.

I wonder if Kevin Dunn knew this was coming and that's why he left. He's the only person who's known as a bigger Vince sycophant than even Laurinaitis.

I hardly know which is worse, a man defecating on a woman or two other men deciding to have sex with her anyway

Bruce Prichard is quickly deleting information and cleaning out his office.

Bruce Prichard is quickly deleting information and cleaning out his office. Again with this, come on… And maybe Steph is leaving Triple H because he can’t perform in the bedroom, right? (pretty sure that was you)

Prichard has been close to Vince for decades, it's a reasonable line.

This is going to get settled for a massive amount of money, to keep this from going to trial where even a cursory amount of testimony is going to drag so many more names under. I hope she takes them for everything she can get.

I wonder will this affect the Netflix deal? Or is everything set in stone now? Oh that's not changing. Plenty of people/leagues who have done reprehensible things have gotten big paydays.

Occam's razor pretty well dictates that Vince's #1 Toadie in Prichard probably knew exactly what was going on.
Sorry to tell you.

I doubt anything is going to happen to the WWE or the media rights deals or anything like that. They'll (rightfully) throw Vince under the bus, have him removed somehow as an act of goodwill, and then it will be business as usual even though Khan, HHH, etc, likely knew about this and did nothing. Fans will forget about this when the Royal Rumble starts, and life will go on. Unfortunately that's how this stuff works with big business.
Just reading more the details of this makes me both angry and disgusted. There will be a special place in hell for Vince McMahon.

It's more sad how many fans will just let it go and act like it's no big deal.

I don't think a string of expletives from me would add much to the conversation here. Just know they're in my head and loud right now.
Inhumane, baffling, disgusting, moronic, and past all sanity.

When it comes to the TV deals, and keep in mind, I don't have any expertise in contract law, but I wonder how the CW is taking this news? Seeing how they ended their dealings with the NWA over far less than this...

Prison alone is too good for that piece of excrement, he needs to be put in solitary and neutered
I don’t want to speculate if and how much Steph, Hunter and Shane knew what was going on but if the three of them want to save a shred of face, the best way is to hit him where it ultimately hurts, by closing off any contact with Aurora, Murphy, Vaughn, Declan (being the eldest he probably has as it may have a knock on for his football career), Kenyon and Rogan, if Linda knew anything then have her cut off too
Same with the Garcia-Danielson/Chigvintsev clan, if Mama Garcia hasn’t got rid of Ace, then at least she should be only allowed to see Birdie, Buddy and Mateo with the Twins around and not with him

The only revelation left is that Vince owns a private island somewhere
