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. 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. I’m almost willing to bet money most of the ones defending him do their bullshit, self-serving virtue signaling online for various issues while defending a sex offender.

The only ones Im aware are Cena and Bryan He did. He’s also liked a tweet today from someone talking about this situation and he really shouldn’t be liking or tweeting.

And it's tough because there are certain people who weren't in the inner circle that genuinely did probably just think he was quirky and didn't hear much of what he was actually doing on a day-to-day basis. Somebody like Bryan, though, for instance...I have an incredibly hard time believing he wasn't aware of what was going on. That makes his positive statements about Vince super disappointing.

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. I think he means more defending Vince when the FIRST case came ouit. That still applies though, a lot of beloved wrestlers have praised Vince even after that news came out. It is usually just followed by chuckling and saying "haha yeah weird guy" or what have you. You would have to get rid of dozens of people in both companies if you're getting rid of people praising some form of his output, whether it be in making WWE what it is today, his wrestling mind or whatever you may choose.

If TKO are serious about it, they'll investigate it from top to bottom and root out anyone still there who knew. Anyone who received the photos, took part in those group chats, and turned a blind eye. They should also look into the possibility of other victims or incidents. Just a complete reckoning to make sure all of this is gone.
More than likely it'll be damage control and Vince will go and that'll be that.

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. It's worth noting the firm that filed this suit against Vince doesn't give advance notices that they are suing. So it's very likely TKO was caught off guard by this. Also the way the actual statement was worded indicates to me that Vince is absolutely on his way out. You don't use the term "horrific" lightly in PR statements like that. You generally use more neutral terms if you don't plan to take action.

Begging a reporter at one of their “media” scrums to flat-out as Paul how much he knew and when he knew it. Then ask him what his wife (?) is up to now.

I'm not accusing anyone besides the higher ups in WWE by the way. I don't think for a second that someone like Cena/Danielson/Etc. knew specifically what happened because as much as it may be naive, I do believe after reading the whole thing that there is a chance that most of the talent itself probably had no clue, even if they were high up in prestige. People running the shows, bookers, executives? I'm sorry but yeah, I do think there's way more fire to this and I'm not going to apologize for it. You would have to be an absolute fool to believe this monster is bragging to the IT guy and not to other higher ups saying hey you want in on this because that's exactly what he f***ing did with Brock.

I'd be shocked if they even do a Rumble press scrum. Triple H is kind of a thin-skinned man baby at these things at the BEST of times.

Jesus f***ing Christ. A grown man that signs something like this to a kid is a pedophile, flat-out. I cannot imagine writing this to a kid.

I do hope Vince gets his ass kicked by Iyo Sky and friends while Bayley screams at him for being a complete and total trash human being, that'd be the ending we deserve out of this. No, the ending we deserve is Vince going down in flames and preferably to jail, not something that sounds like it came out of the WWE writer's room.
