There's no luck when it comes to Vince McMahon in a courtroom lol. I think the only people they ever lost to were the panda people, yeah?

This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read.

He's not a wizard and Vince isn't "lucky" in a courtroom, outside of being wealthier than most of his opponents.

They didn't even "win" the lawsuit in this particular case. The plaintiffs chose to dismiss with prejudice, probably because they settled. As part of the settlement, the plaintiffs agreed to file a motion to dismiss with prejudice, so that the suit is permanently over, which they would have to do anyway once a settlement was reached.

That's not legal wizardry, if that was even a thing. That's essentially having enough money to buy/pay people off. Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that, but it's not a result of some legal (or always moral or ethical) skill, brilliance, or decision(s).

Wait...did you actually take the term “wizard” literally? You basically went on to describe exactly what I meant. The chip on your shoulder because someone dare doesn’t like AEW is way too big.

No, I took the term wizard the way you implied it... as if it required from McDevitt some kind of luck, special skill, or legal knowledge to settle that case, in addition to the many others they've settled over the years. Having the $ to settle does not make one a legal wizard, it's just a beneficial option to have, albeit theoretically the more $ you have the more likely it will be to occur, however it requires no luck, skill, or special legal knowledge to do so.

My response had nothing to do with whether anyone likes or dislikes anything.

Part of the dude's job is to make things go away. He's done a fantastic job over the years. It's why he's been Vince's guy for the longest time. And it's a large part of the reason Vince has managed to survive so many of the legal issues thrown his way.

Nah, you've definitely become warped through the whole anti-WWE/pro-AEW stuff. Calling people cocksuckers for daring to suggest that the WWE has a better long-term strategy than AEW and the like. Now you just can't help picking a fight because I won't kowtow to a pretty shitty product just because it isn't WWE.

I don't give a shit that you don't like AEW. I just think it's funny and pathetic that now that AEW is around and some people are actually enjoying it more, Vince/WWE is the greatest thing ever to you, and you're now willing to essentially fellate those involved whenever the opportunity presents, after doing nothing but shit on them for so many years prior.

As for McDevitt, of course it's his job. The issue isn't whether he's effective or how long he's been doing it, it's whether what he's actually doing requires any real legal or other expertise or skill, or if he's a "wizard" as you put it.

He's not exactly litigating a ton of complex or first impression cases. The reason most of Vince's cases settle or get dismissed early on has little to nothing to do with McDevitt or his skill. It's because most of the opposing party's can't really afford to litigate, have a weak case to begin with, and/or they're simply looking for a check. That necessitates settlement on the plaintiff's side, and increases the likelihood of settlement for both parties, and even more so when the defendant is wealthy. The ability to get cases dismissed and/or settled quickly does not really take much legal skill or expertise though, especially when you have the advantages that he and his client have compared to most of their usual opponents.

Lol, but you've just made that up. I don't watch Raw or SmackDown regularly. It just fits your narrative of everyone who doesn't like AEW being on Vince's cock for some reason. It's fucking 15-year-old boy syndrome to the extreme. It's like you're an actual mark.
