Here’s the thing: obviously this is a very serious acquisition and Vince is even more of a POS if it’s true…but, how low are your values as a human being if accept hush money to cover HUMAN SEX TRAFFICKING?! Did you actually read the article? The woman who accepted the money is the woman who was sexually abused and is accusing Vince of sexually trafficking *HER* to others. She was accepting hush money to cover up her own abuse. She didn't accept hush money to cover up other women's abuse. It's an abuse of power on Vince's part through and through. This part was particularly concerning because it talks about other talent. I don't remember talent being as involved in the earlier Vince drama: "Grant alleged that McMahon shared nude photos and explicit videos of her without consent with other WWE employees, unnamed executives and stars, and directed her to have sex with them." I just saw the Brock mention as well. f***, get that dude out of there as well, then. I did not, which is obviously my own fault for not realizing that the article was about the woman who was trafficked. Which clearly changes my thoughts on the matter. |

As if this old piece of apparently literal shit now could not get anymore insane. The other question who were these other WWE execs because the snowball affect would be catastrophic. Johnny Ace definitely has to be one, considering he was out on his ass the same time Vince was initially pushed out. Given all the tales about his casting couch, no surprise if he was there. |

If even a fraction of that is true, it's not just Vince that needs to go. It's every single person who took advantage of her, who laughed in those group chats, and helped to cover it. The whole thing is rotten to the core and they all need to go.

If she can get the NDA overturned, I doubt she'll be the last person to do so and to point the finger at Vince. We've all known about the skeletons at the front of his closet for years, the Snuka cover up, the rape, the ring boy abuse and so on, there are undoubtedly many, many more hidden behind them. It's about time he suffers some consequences for his actions.

This is absolutely horrifying. F*** Vince, F*** Johnny Ace, and F*** Brock. Them and anyone else who aided their activities need to f*** off. Jail time and firings.

I don't know why you think WWE is going to do this, especially with Vince no longer being in control of the company. If anything, its more likely Endeavor pushes him out entirely now. I hope it doesn't happen, but also this is exactly what happened after the SA allegations. Crossing fingers so that good sense prevails and history doesn't repeat itself. Vince for all intents and purposes has been off of WWE TV ever since the SA allegations seriously picked up steam. I doubt Triple H is going to be like "hey sure lets put my sexpest of a father in law back on TV while this story breaks", and remember that Vince basically has zero authority now when it comes to creative, because Ari has made it that way. |

I want to be clear - I am not accusing anyone else of anything on the level of what's in that article. But guys like John Cena, Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker going to chill with Vince McMahon at his last birthday party now...it just feels weird. I'm assuming this was more of an open secret in that company than we know and we're about to be disappointed with a lot of people. Yea I am not accusing anyone BUT it is becoming atleast a bit suspect now that those who share a really tight nit bond with Vince within his inner circle would not know atleast some of this. It is just far too insane a mountain that keeps growing in insanity. |

Still not a good look having him out there during the Netflix announcement |

If HHH still books Brock for the Rumble he will destroy a good amount of the goodwill he built since coming back imo

It is just far too insane a mountain that keeps growing in insanity. I'm to the point where I'm not accusing Cena or guys like R-Truth of anything but I also want nothing to do with anyone that's buddy buddy with him after these alligations come out. Even if they're not involved, they're still willing to stick up or be friends with a guy who is a massive piece of shit. |

Absolutely horrifying yet not all that shocking, which is sad in itself.

Glad they rolled that one piece of human garbage out a couple days ago at the NYSE.

Damn, every time I soften towards wwe it doesn't take long for something to remind me why I should stay away. Sounds far more widespread than just Vince and Laurinaitis.
Even the timing, he could only do this in 2020 because of their dodgy essential business classification.
While most were stuck indoors he was shitting on people.

Jesus.
Like saying Vince is a Garbage Human being is like saying water is wet.
But just when you think it can't get any worse, it somehow does.

Vince, Brock, anyone who covered it up, and anyone else who participated need to go now.
