Would end up quite shocking if that Paul is HHH....
Triple H being aware of his father in-law having an affair in the office he worked in would not be incredibly shocking. |

Vince McMahon is a monster nearing the end of his life. Maybe he will have to pay for some of the horrible things he's done, I hope so, I hope the victims are taken care of.
There's karmic justice in WWE getting hot after his exit, I hope he is aware that the problem was him all along. It's not nearly enough considering the atrocious things he has done, but it's a small justice.

It's hot now because his plan for Roman was right all along, because he re-signed Cody, because his creation The Rock is back. HHHUnter's sign backs have all failed, he was right to cut them first time round. Etc. Etc. Etc. |

We heard for years that companies felt like Vince was the company and we all sat around wishing he would go away because we knew how much things would improve creatively and production wise. You buy big into Vince’s bullshit company and it woefully underperforms expectations. Within months of him being out…it’s doing, by far, the best it ever had in every possible metric. And you had already moved on from it. |

So it was probably a fait accompli either way. |

The thing you have to remember about the Fox deal is that, despite the big numbers, they were sold on the idea of higher numbers. 2m is great but they were told 4-5m a week (whether you believe HHH/Steph said that or Vince depends on the reporter). The other thing as well is that Fox didn’t get any gains anywhere else since, one of the things we have learned the last while, WWE fans will watch WWE and nothing else. We saw that during the Wednesday Night Wars, we saw it for Raw for the most part and it was seen here. So Fox was spending advertising money on WWE and not gaining the investment it wanted to get for the slot it was in. So it might seem weird to axe it but on a broader sense, it made all the sense to do it. |

It's one of those weird things. WWE massively over-promised what kind of audience they'd bring (on Friday nights no less). But like... Fox were f***ing idiots for just taking the ridiculous figure they were promised at face value. WWE was always going to bring in a reliably good number but anyone could tell you it wasn't even going to be half what Fox were sold on. So I don't really have much sympathy for them because it sounds like they did barely any due diligence and had ridiculous expectations to begin with. |

Yeah, it feels a matter of time until at the very least, more former or present execs are named. Not saying one of them will be HHH but it’s not a zero chance either.

www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/s/ydxXjYPiqIA f***ed up post Vince’s trainer made supporting him. R-Truth commented “1000” and Omos and Lacey Evan’s liked it. I can understand if some talent adored Vince because he pushed them or Gave them a spotlight, but this is big Yikes. Showing support for him online is a slap in the face to the victims. I think Becky, Seth, and even Punk all handled it better

Disappointed in Truth and my man Omos, but I regret ever sticking up for Lacey Evans. She's the worst.

Truth and Miz going to lose those titles on Monday. lol
Not surprised that Lacey would support a scumbag like Vince though. I’d hate to hear her actual opinions on this case. Sadly I bet that a lot of the locker room feels the same way they’re just smart enough to keep it secret and not post about it on social.
I’d be surprised if there isn’t eventually a total house cleaning eventually by TKO. “The HHH Era” might not last very long…won’t be surprised if the WWE itself doesn’t last very long. All it will take is TKO washing their hands of it and selling it to someone that doesn’t have a clue and it’s down the drain in a few years.

Truth must've thought that it was a tweet about Ed Mcmahon.

HHH is literally on the new intro and outro and the creative renaissance is largely in part of him. I’d be shocked if they let him go |

I'd expect some pay offs and for TKO to push forward with the current management, honestly. I don't think that is the right thing to do, but money is everything to these folk, especially if their parent company has now been bought by a private equity firm. |

Right now, TKO will basically need to be forced to ditch people and will keep them for as long as possible until a reason comes along.
Whether that happens? I mean, we’re nowhere near a place where we can guarantee that. We’ve barely scratched the surface on a lot of this stuff.
