Slim Jim's been associated with wrestling, especially WWE, for decades. That's not just a hit to the pocketbook, but a very symbolic loss.

I’m not going to say people should read the report because it’s really horrible. But I will say if you’re about to make a statement about any specific person or incident, you should at least skim where they’re mentioned so you’re actually kind of informed. Ya, the only concrete thing we really have is those texts (which would be a criminal offence to fake, so I highly doubt they are) that name Johnny Ace and Vince Mcmahon. WWE also did their own investigation and used that as cause to fire Johnny Ace. |

It just takes one big sponsor dropping like that to make more dominos start falling.

If I remember correctly it was advertised as one of WWE's most lucrative deals last year or one of the most lucrative. It might actually be as much of a pocketbook hit as a symbolic one. |

Hurting the bottom line is the best way to get Vince gone quicker than he may already be. Good on Slim Jim I am sure TKO already wants him gone. There is just legal issues. I am still a big "you get your day in court guy", but VKM brought all this on himself. This likely would have went away if he just stayed retired and paid out the requirements of the NDA. Somehow, retiring at 77 with a few billion dollars was not good enough for him |

“get rid of the creepy old pervert and we can probably do business together again.”

He'd take everyone down with him because he doesn't have final say or can bully people any more. Nasty, nasty, nasty man |

It was a sponsor pulling out that led to the unpersoning of Fabulous Moolah so I have a feeling I know where this is headed

Some of the texts seem to clearly reference Brock with only his name redacted in the document. |

Of course, much easier to simply rename a match than what checks and balances probably have to be done to out Vince without more lawsuits happening. |

I feel like the fact that this is now objectively harming the business will make it harder for Vince to fight it. I don’t think he makes it a month. |

Slim Jim Translation: “get rid of the creepy old pervert and we can probably do business together again.” I would actually love it if even if TKO got rid of Vince, Slim Jim still wouldn't do business with WWE until they also got rid of the executives and high ranking officials who knew what Vince did and did nothing to stop it. |

Good on Slim Jim I read earlier that they may not be able to just get rid of Vince, they may have to try to convince him to resign and well he could refuse. I read that too, but I'm pretty sure we saw part of the deal he signed back when he sold, and I'm certain it said Endeavour had the option to fire him for cause, and if they did, he got no money. I would think 'Cause' would include something regarding morality and bringing disparity to the company - and like this is that x1000. I mean, I'm sure it still takes time and legal people going over everything, and his stock really is going to get in the way of him being gone totally, but I'd think they could remove him from his position contractually....I hope anyway |
