I wonder how many of the same people across social media who have already condemned Jericho and called him a sexual predator with no evidence whatsoever, are now defending Vince and WWE from this lawsuit. I doubt anyone real is defending Vince. |

Looks like The Rock joined the board of directors at just the right time. Probably gave him whatever he asked for too. Got his whole name and a seat at the board. |

Did Brock actually do anything? From what I read I feel I like Vince made her send nudes to him in order to entice him into re-signing.

That's very fair. Im just wondering who is involved in all of this. It sounds like it's everyone including Nick Khan Those being sued here are the company, Vince and Laurinaitis. The others cited throughout the lawsuit are just there as factual background for the complaint. What will likely happen, is they’ll publicly say something about defending the lawsuit, settle the lawsuit, Vince will resign. I think TKO will fire Vince for cause and try and do all they can to hang him out to dry while keeping as much distance as they can between their WWE and him. This, I think, is truly the end of Vince McMahon. Even if he some how manages to clear himself, or just get away with it, he's gone from the TKO board etc. |

Yeah honestly even having time to settle in my brain, this is scumf*** tier behaviour.
This is some of the worst bullshit I've ever seen and I'm not sure I actually have words for how f***ing awful it is. And it was bad enough 18 months ago.
Endeavour higher ups are gonna want heads to roll over this.

I happened to be scrolling along Twitter and came across the defecating section, Jesus Christ.
Yeah Vince is out on his *** after this, and Brock can go do one as well. Everything about this stinks.
Unfortunately I’d be surprised if anything major happened from this other than Vince getting punted and Brock not being used on TV again. But I think it says something that I was not shocked at some of the stuff I read.

Don't really know what to say.
If these accusations are true, I'm glad Bret Hart knocked this guy out. It's a small, small piece of solace compared to the gravity of the accusations.

Having listened to the shoot podcasts of the last few years, it always seems like it was a cesspool of an industry with a mix of shady and sleazy people and genuinely decent people just making a living. But that's every industry it seems. Its a matter of what gets told and who stabs who in the back. The things we don't know would be enough to kill us. RVD openly said on TV only a few years ago that back in the day a lot of the roster in WWE was drugging woman in every town they visited. The fact nothing more came of that is shocking. Duke Droese was publicly bragging about it backstage, which is why JBL assaulted him in the shower. Probably the only time rooting for JBL was justified. |

He definitely encouraged it by telling the girl to send pictures of her uriniating and then insulted her in the process. Brock may not have done anything as sexually vicious as Vince did, but it’s this “lads lads lads” mentality that encourages this behaviour, especially if they’re chuckling about it in group chats like it’s high school. |

I read another article not as detailed as the one posted here, thanks for clearing that up. Dont want to sound that I’m trying to defend him. |

And text messages? Why would they leave those kind of tracks? People like Vince, with all their money and power, think that they're untouchable. And, tragically, in many cases they absolutely are. As of right now, he still basically is. And yeah, they’ll probably axe him now. But being forced out of a company as a very rich old man isn’t much punishment either. He still got away with this for his (presumably) entire adult life because of the money and power he has. |

Been saying it for years, but any moment now, Vince is going to press that giant red button under his desk which makes Titan Towers explode.
