they didn't even interview the victim last time. f*** all of them The previous investigation predates the TKO sale/merger, though. I'm not saying this means it'll be different this time, but I wouldn't immediately dismiss it, either. Wait and see, more or less.

Considering how often these "internal investigations" are complete shams (not just in WWE/TKO, but corporations in general), I'm guessing they'll do the bare minimum of tossing Vince McMahon out on his ass without doing anything to punish any of his cohorts still in the company.

Outside of Prichard (I think), how many longtime McMahon yes-men are still in WWE?

The whole company deserves to go down. Couldn’t give a shit about WWE vs. AEW when it comes to things like this. You’ll never convince me that the “inner circle” (Triple H, for example) didn’t know about this shit. I feel so horrible for all of the victims of this horrible, horrible human being, his horrible family, his horrible talent, and the company as a whole. I love wrestling as much as anyone else, but enough is enough with WWE.

I also think back to the talent who defended him publicly (Jericho, for example). If I am Tony Khan, I’m telling Jericho to go home to his garbage human being of a wife and stay there, he’s not needed anymore.

We knew about the allegations, went ahead with doing the merger with that company being ran by the accused person and were just hamming it up on wall street with him the day before yesterday. I'll give you that it is a new board completely because I didn't know that but you'll have to excuse me for thinking they'll give a rat's ass about what happens to women in situations like this. You learn real quick who actually cares and who is more interested in having their opinion be validated.

Did they need to? They were addressing the 'hush money' and the financial conduct issue of him buying her off with company money - she was a recipient of that, but wouldn't have known where the money came from, which is what they were looking in to Genuine question, for investigations like the ones they did in 2022, is it restricted to just one thing (in that instance the financial shenanigans vince was doing) or can they be as broad as possible while exploring whatever avenues they want?

Oh yes, they are addressing it internally. I'm sure they will take it very seriously too. After all, the complaint showed that they took the initial internal investigation very seriously as well. Oh wait.................

The boring answer usually comes from Law is "it depends". If a judge deems worthy, they can be nrpader

You would have to go through the entirety of the WWE roster and AEW roster. Pretty much everyone save a few people have shit like he is just "quirky" more or less but combine the crazy stories with ones of him supposedly being generous.

Paul Heyman just kinda defended him today on the Pat McAfee Show without alluding to it directly.

I think he means more defending Vince when the FIRST case came out. Both Cena and Bryan did the "oh everyone makes mistakes" schpiel

The fact that Vince was still front and centre the other day when they were at the NYSE ringing the bell, probably tells you all you need to know about how this is going to go.
