Something else about the Lesnar subject is, like... This was a contract renegotiation happening after an on-and-off 20 year relationship with the company, or if you'd rather cut it down 9 years after his initial comeback. Even if the snowstorm prevented anything more happening in this one instance there is absolutely no way that this is the only occasion where Vince has extended this kind of offer to him as a negotiation tactic.

Beyond just the wickedness he has in his spirit, the selfishness stands out almost as much. He'd take everyone down with him because he doesn't have final say or can bully people any more. Nasty, nasty, nasty man For all the talk earlier in the thread about WWE as a whole going down as a result of this... honestly I could see Vince going full scorched earth fully out of petty spite and sour grapes. For all the jokes about him rigging Titan Towers to explode if he was forced out, I wouldn't put it past him to have some sort of figurative cyanide pill to serve as his Dead Hand in the event of this sort of thing (and obviously I don't mean things LITERALLY exploding).

They really should get rid of Vince like, yesterday!. He’s basically a walking PR nightmare now. slim Jim backing out gives me confidence TKO is going to act faster to can his ass OOOOH YEAAAAAH!

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. Hell SLim Jim is synonymous with one of the WWE's most popular superstars of all time. Hell they specifically have a version of Slim Jim's that are referred to as like Macho Sized because of it.

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 Beyond just the wickedness he has in his spirit, the selfishness stands out almost as much. He'd take everyone down with him because he doesn't have final say or can bully people any more. Nasty, nasty, nasty man He's fired his own daughter and son and sold the 3 generation family company to TKO because he was mad she voted him out. Just as a father, I could never imagine throwing my kids under the bus for my own interests

Yeah, when I first saw that sex was offered to Brock as a signing bonus I Was assuming this was like... when he first returned and then later saw that no this was way more recent.

And potentially not just Brock. I mean, isn't it one of those open knowledge things that a lot of sports teams use inappropriate things to get signees? Not at all saying they should, or that's acceptable, or anything of the sort. But I'm not surprised at the idea Brock was offered sexual favours as a signing bonus, and am not surprised if he was expecting something like that to be offered given his life has been one big entitled fight to pay him - whatever he may have known or not known about the wider situation and I wouldn't be surprised it there are other situations yet to come to light.

Who do you think set him up with Sable?

That's a thought that's been in my head throughout all of this. And I can't help but wonder if it's not only Brock he's done this with... I'm not gonna speculate of course but it's something I can't help but think about.

In these trying times, we look toward the makers and imagineers of mass produced beef sticks. Does Vince also name them after WWE wrestlers?

I of course have no idea how Brock and Sable got together but it is curious that she also alleged sexual harassment from Vince/WWE and I think had an NDA only to return a few years later and get booked into more sexual storylines. Then there was the rumor that everyone laughed off at the time about Brock and Vince having a threesome with her. No clue what actually happened there but in retrospect none of it sounds great.

There's no way they actually have a scrum/press conference, even if all the questions are preassigned... right?

Even if they carefully scrutinize everything I imagine that the scrum if it happens will still be an embarrassing disaster for them because Triple H has absolutely no filter on these things and continually says stupid shit on them.

Let's not forget Brock was very young when he came in to Vince's orbit. Groomers dont only groom victims, but other people to become abusers as well.

I have a feeling that tomorrow, the "wrestling media" is gonna show themselves for who they really are: not a bunch of news people, but a bunch of business people.
