This entire story is far from over, but his departure happened a lot sooner than I expected. Figured we'd have to at least wait a week

He thought he was being all slick forcing his way back in power and getting the company sold so he could get some power back and he inadvertently shot himself in both feet. What a tool.

It's finally happened. A day where Vince McMahon is not involved with WWE in any capacity.
It's just a shame that the story behind all this is the reason why. I mean, he couldn't just be a nice old man that decided to ride off into the sunset, could he?

I wish I felt more happiness seeing him gone and I'm glad he is but I feel like all of this isn't going to stop with the hits for like.. a year. Probably more. Hard to get too excited yet.

Vince is ousted the same day Elektra debuted on Smackdown
What a healing day for wrestling ladies and gentleman!

For people still saying there is no base to ever think Triple H would know anything What's very fair to point out: no one knows the extent of what Triple H knew. He does line up pretty closely with "Corporate board member #1" or whatever that is in the lawsuit, but even if he did get the NDA signed and "knew", it doesn't tell us exactly what he knew vis a vis the severity of the abuse. All fair points. But as was said earlier in this thread, there's just been way too many instances over the years of corporate Triple H looking the other way when something bad comes along and doing a shitty job in front of a mic when having to handle those problems. If it's true he went out of his way to say something like this (Nemeth's account is from 8 years ago, the story itself from more like a decade ago) that's even worse. Still doesn't mean we can say anything for sure about how culpable he is in this case, but it's tough to ignore that kind of track record. I think as well it is worth noting that this was spoken about 11 years ago (so it could be going back even further), Triple H was new in his first real office job, 2024 Triple H is not gonna be the same person. Not excusing or denying anything, just think it's worth noting. And it's an anecdote from a guy who defended Flair so I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Did anyone else find it incredibly off putting that the more that came out about Vince being an actual horrible villain, the more he actively started to change into one with the horrible dye job hair and Vincent Price stashe?
Like he straight up looked like someone James Bond should be hunting down.

That’s a start.
Now their feet need to be continued to be held to the fire, and everyone who knew and enabled this needs to be gone from the company.
I have less confidence that this will happen.

GOOD RIDDANCE TO THAT AWFUL AWFUL OLD MAN! HE IS A DIRTY, ROTTEN POS. ONE OF THE LOWEST FORMS OF HUMAN KIND (ONLY ABOVE MURDERERS)
I know that this won’t end the scandal, but I hope to God that HHH knew Nothing about this. I know HHH is not a saint due to him burying wrestlers 20 years ago but it seemed like compared to Vince, he is the lesser of the two evils. I know that that is not a high bar though.

Vince played with a Monkey's Paw and it bit him hard in the ass
Horrible shit came out about him, he tapdanced out in front of crowds multiple times and played it like a joke
He sold the company and left power, then tried to fight back into power, and then settled with basically becoming a mascot as long as he could be around
And then MORE horrible shit, somehow topping the last pile of shit came out, and now he is just straight up gone, forever, and hopefully even worse happens to him outside of it in a court of law
All he had to do was stay gone, and his ego wouldn't allow it. Horrible human being gets what he deserves.
