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.
