Wrestling Thread 8: Follow The Buzzards • Page 411

The fact that his daughter voted to oust him was more or less the only proof you really ever needed to know how truly awful and vile a man he was, and yet somehow, it's even worse.

I realize there is unlikely to be any legal ramifications from this, because America, but it is imperative that he is erased from the company and TKO entirely. Like, today.

 

vince is on the board of tko

 

I don't think we will ever see Brock Lesner again in the WWE which his fine.

 

Brock also needs to fuck off forever. Vince used explicit pictures of the girl to send to Brock while trying to re-sign him. He then got her personal number and tried to schedule a “play date” but a snow storm ruined the plans


Fuck that giant loaf

 

Right, but he's completely out of creative, sold of a bunch of his shares, etc. Very different than even 4-5 months ago after the merger where it looked like he was gonna jump right back into creative.

Like, this story is awful...it should have ramifications for TKO/Ari for backing Vince...but, then again Dana white is still in charge of UFC with no repercussions somehow

 

Endeavor probably just needs to completely clean house of all the WWE executives save Khan and HHH (assuming there aren't any allegations against them but fucking who knows)

 

Khan, Triple H and Stephanie are likely to come out as the least of evils in this scenario, but it's evident that they knew and helped cover it up. Steph, despite her eventual resignation, is purported to have been among those who made no attempt to speak to the victim, which is what led to Vince being reinstated.

She was on the right side of history in terms of her vote and departure from the company, but she made no real attempt to secure justice.

 

right - no one is really innocent in something like this

 

WWE thread really took a 180 from @Shrek's Rumble post

 

I really wish the biggest news story today was "who will replace Kevin Patrick?"

 

i will be stealing the Rumble as is the case for any and all WWE productions so my excitement for that and disgust for this live in harmony

 

the full filed lawsuit contains texts from Vince and they are insane

 

guarantee he tries some mentally unwell stuff to cover it up, gonna use the Cosby playbook

 

I skimmed through it. its very clear that Brock was very involved and this was part of his deal to return to the company

 

saw this post on cage side seats "With the Brock implication, this could be why they did the Gunther/Seth promo on RAW. Because they knew this bombshell was about to drop and wanted to setup a backup plan for Gunther."

but also who really cares about the booking at this point

 

I think the timing of this is really really interesting if you think about it

 

the Brock part is what makes me doubt it's a calculated thing. TKO should by all indications wanna keep Lesnar happier than most, he is the only guy to reach the top in both their properties

 

explain

 

The stench of this is on the company forever.

I feel so much for the victims in all of their evil actions.

 

there's theories floating around that they got the tv deal and now they want Vince gone. I agree Brock being in here makes it a bit more difficult to believe, but it could be a price they're willing to pay

 

there is a train of thought that, with the ink dry on all the rights deals, this is TKO washing their hands of Vince

 

What just got announced this week? What was the reason he came back / they kept him on after the merger? Does it seem like they ever actually wanted him around?

 

He’s now a massive stain on a company that don’t really want him there. He’ll gone by next week.

 

What's so strange is that it was naive to think they ever needed him in the first place. He was nothing more than a figure-head at this stage. They already had months of successful operations (with improved metrics) without him there. They were fine.
