I think it’s clear what needs to happen: Jeremy Piven needs to become head of the WWE board and ban Vince from the SummerFest forever.

Would you let Vince McMahon fuck you for $3 million?
I’m leaning yes. |

The wrestler in question was released in 2005.
Only four main roster women were released in 2005: Molly Holly, Jackie Gayda, Dawn Marie, Christy Hemme Molly still works for the company. Jackie was never demoted. Dawn was fired during maternity leave. Leaving Hemme, who actually got demoted down to OVW before being fired. So yeah. Gotta be her. |

Seriously, the women on the roster should just refuse to perform at this point unless Vince is gone.

If you haven't subscribed to a Pateron before, do yourselves a favour and subscribe to Between the Sheets and listen to their "Titangate" episode from a while back.

I don’t think Vince survives this. Would be willing to bet money.

So which wrestling promotion do you think he’s most likely to buy when he steps down or is forced out?

No way that man just retires. He would literally rather be dead.

This is all an elaborate work. Vince will be ousted from WWE and then will show up on Dynamite announcing he has bought them out and will be going to Monday Night RAW IS WAR on WWE and his bitch daughter and son in law who stole his company from him!!!

Vince helped cover up a murder, covered for a known pedophile who was molesting ring boys, raped a woman, and beat a federal indictment. And after all that he became wildly popular and successful. I’m sure at this point he thinks he’s bulletproof. And he might be right.

Kinda wild to see Vince might be sent off into the sunset because he had affairs and paid people to keep quiet about it when it's basically been deemed acceptable behavior for the president of the whole country. Just a random thought I had.

I was trying to think of anyone that was largely unaffected when this sort of thing comes to light. So good call on Trump.

Nah, Vince is done. There’s no way he comes out squeaky clean from this. Using the company’s power to coerce sex acts? There’s no way the stock price doesn’t drop if he tries to stay on. His wealth is too tied up in the company to fight this too. That stock price drops, so does Vince’s personal funds.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Netflix pull the documentary on him too. Or at least change the ending. That affects WWE. There’s no way he can just waltz into work and blow this off like it doesn’t matter and not turn it into a magnet for trouble. |

The stock price will likely drop with any change. But the change is necessary.

John Cena made an interesting tweet about this. Well, people are assuming it’s about this. Weird time to be cryptic.

Vince McMahon is not Donald Trump or Elon Musk. He’d like to be, but he’s still a carny promoter to most people. He’s survived so long because wrestling is beneath people’s notice. The sleazy perception of it cloaked him. If they want to be squeaky clean and viable, they can’t just sweep this under the rug.

Vince McMahon will totally find corners of America where he is accepted, don’t get me wrong, but WWE are going to have to get rid of him.
Cena won’t make the trips to Saudi Arabia. How is his career going to survive if he’s still chest thumping Vince McMahon? People are going to call for change and they can’t just ignore it because “Oh Vince, we’ve always known you’re a naughty boy.” I mean, it doesn’t seem like the biggest issue in all of this, but even stuff like Vince making out with the women on screen in 2000-2005 or whenever is going to take on a new disturbing meaning to people. Tasteless as it was at the time. Everyone probably should have realized the guy was too powerful to be doing that to women who just wanted to be, essentially, actresses. |

I don't think anyone with half a brain who watched Vince in WWE programming during the last 25 years is surprised by this honestly. Even if things weren't out in the open, the signs (intentional or not,) that Vince was someone who would likely at least try and use his power and money for sex were about as subtle as a chainsaw.
At some point though, no matter how obvious the signs or hints were, it becomes too much. Even more so for a company that wants to be seen as squeaky clean as possible currently and going forward, especially if angling for a potential sale. Realistically, I don't see how this isn't or won't be the ultimate breaking point for Vince, regardless of whether or not everyone involved has realized or admitted it to themselves yet. |
