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. That’s a little extreme bro lol. 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 All I’ll say is that nothing will probably change….but *IF* it is revealed that HHH knew what Vince was up to(and that is proven) and that comes out they’re quite likely to move him on out of there. Especially with the Rock in there now. Rocky plays the nice guy a lot but no one gets to be as successful as him without being ruthless too. Never forget that. |

They all knew Vince was having an affair, I doubt any of them knew the extent of any abuse within that affair.
If they had the evidence for that, they'd have named people as knowing that. This is a civil case about getting as much money as possible. If they had evidence against others, they'd be named so they'd have to pay.
I think what we're basically waiting for here now, is to see how much they settle for and if the Feds go for Vince for the trafficking allegations.

The ratings improved with him gone, but not enough to meet Fox's reported expectations when they signed the deal. 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. I’ve seen those reports but then I’ve also seen a Fox executive right after the premier putting on the record that they were hoping for double what they were doing in that slot (1.2 million) but also maybe more than what Smackdown had done on cable (2.2). So maybe more like 2.5-3 million? |

Either Vince is about to die and he’s going to cash out or his attorneys are like “damn holmes, you’re about to get f***ed in court if you don’t give us more money”

Could it be a case of him moving his assets elsewhere (abroad?) so he can claim he doesn't have much when the courts likely award his victim an insane amount?

Whoa, I have been out of the loop.
When did Vince grow a sex offender moustache? Does he think sex offender is a gimmick and he's trying to look the part?

He's had the telenovela villain mustache since at least the initial announcement of the WWE/UFC merger.

Vince's share dumping is very curious, because he's been doing it since around the time reports started coming out that Endeavor had decided on Triple H leading creative over him and were also openly calling him a liability to shareholders. I think it was literally the day of Fast Lane last year.

I'm not reading too much into Vince dumping stock. I'm guessing he is just cashing in on his decades of work. I can only hope he sends it to a Nigerian prince or gets scammed by the Paul brothers on their latest grift. That would be karma.
I don't think Vince will be hurting for money any time in this life. Assuming this goes to trial, he is found liable, all of that. It isn't like the jury is going to say the compensation needs to be 1 billion. Whatever the penalty is, it stands a great chance of getting reduced on appeal or settled during the appeal process.

I think it was literally the day of Fast Lane last year. It could be there is some sort of clause in the sell contract that says he has to sell up if X or Y happens. Equally, he could just be cashing out as he realises he isn't getting back in and there's no point having money locked up. |

Vince selling off the remainder of his TKO stock is a signal, and perhaps a warning.
If he's crazy enough, he might be looking to get out of any legal involvement with TKO (non-competes and the like) to start his own rival promotion, or getting into the political game.

Unfortunately, he'd do well in either, despite what has happened. I mean, I'm not completely certain about politics, but there are many that would pay to see a new Vince led promotion. |

It's depressing that there are enough incel Chuds and Dudebros out there that still think a 78-year-old Vince could competently book a promotion. |
