What a turn of events for both companies. Vince finally got caught.
Television Tho Prop Grops Throps

Well, that should be it really? How does he come back from this?
End of an era. This is why they say go out on top. He'll be going out disgraced.

I literally called him scum! He has always been scum?! Whatever is reported won’t be the worst thing he’s done.
The amount of stuff Vince has done over the years with allegedly both men & women, it had to catch up on him eventually.
Stephanie was forced out for her failing and poor performance and it was a case of Vince not having a choice but to remove her otherwise Khan would have done it in a more brutal fashion.
Wait, are WWE just investigating themselves?
A lot of people in WWE have been leaking a lot of high end stuff lately, I reckon, someone can see how bad WWE is doing on TV side of things (not the money side) but wants WWE in a new direction and with Shane, then Stephanie Leaks and now finally someone coming out with this Vince stuff... Deffiently someone trying to get them out of power.
Succession shit.
I'm just shocked it wasn't an early 2000s Diva who outed him.
Since MJF wont appreciate Vince and Johnny Ace trying to be the biggest heels in wrestling
Sadly its too late for Ashley Massaro to say her piece about her dealings with WWE.
And some of the others too.
It's been reported that Sasha has been released from WWE.
Finding it hard to share the moral outrage over this.
‘Married rich man has affair and pays off female’. Seems so common nowadays.
As far as im aware the only information at hand is that Vince had an affair with a female employee, who then presumably had one with Lauranitis and she was then given 3 million to keep it quiet. Of course if it transpires she was harassed and coerced into it then yeah it’s a different matter.
But at the moment all I’m seeing is that Vince McMahon has had another affair….

Agreed tbh.
Apparently it was all consensual. So Vince was having an affair, doubles her salary and likely gives her preferential treatment. She ends the relationship, and is given 3m dollars in hush money?
It’s not brilliant but it’s hardly a situation where he’ll get cancelled. He also has about 80% voting power in the WWE. People are kidding themselves if they think anything will come of it.
No surprise if she has. She’d be a nightmare to manage.
Always complaining, never happy and moans about the position she was put in. Sounds like a certain French midfielder we had.
If there were hypothetically a person who’d been subjected to unacceptable remarks by members of the powers that be at the moment, and happened to have kept receipt of such remarks/requests then it would be a hell of a time to demand your release.
Alas no, not in the world of hyper capitalism that is the United States. While the actual incident is fairly common ground (doesn’t make it acceptable in any way) what it does do is shine a massive light on Vince and his behaviour for 50 years at this point. Reopens the public wounds of Nancy D’Argentino, of the Mel Phillips ring boy scandal, of the allegations of stuff going on in Vince’s limo (which his driver actually confirmed happened half of this stuff), even of Ashley Massaro as has been mentioned and many other horrible practices/incidences.
What might actually be most damaging for McMahon however is the fraud aspect. 3 million of company money to pay off an affair? No wonder Stephanie distanced herself from him when this kicked off.
Would I bet against him surviving? Probably not, but it’s not as cut and dry as it’s always been.
Unless this triggers some sort of domino effect where multiple women come forward and make actual allegations then I think @Bwuk is likely right. Unless Wwe simply don’t want their image tarred and then maybe Vince will be asked to step aside.
But past allegations won’t mean anything unless something new comes to light to reaffirm the validity of those past accusations. Also there was a suggestion in one of the reports I read that it was his own money used to pay her off.
Report I read was it was his own money?
Some shocking stuff in here and that doesn't even include the storyline stuff with women in front of his wife:
Nah, I’d be wary of stories like these. Again, not defending Vince but it’s not open season to call him a rapist when even the 3m payoff isn’t about rape.
Yeah I realise that but the thread makes for interesting reading with some stuff already mentioned in the dark side of the ring.
Morbid curiosity and all - but if I could read anyones life story, 100% true - it'd be Vince's.... and I know what I'd be getting myself in for. There's no doubt he's done some absolutely whopper crazy things.
There's also part of me that really isn't if I know what I'd be getting myself in for. I just, yeah, he's an absolute lunatic.

Vince is finished. He's a man is his late 70s facing two big lawsuits, one of which could have disastrous consequences for his company, which he runs 52 weeks a year.
He'll step down before the end of the year is my guess.

There are many stories to do with Vince & Hogan going back to the Eighties, with both guys & girls.
At some point, there has to be some truth to some of these. Look at Pat Patterson and how he got away with stuff for years, until Vince had to fire him, even then he came back again.
There’s a lot of urban legends too though. This doesn’t mean everything else is true. It cheapens this story, if anything.
Meltzer said today that he’s still technically married to Linda but they’re not a couple. It’s an old man shagging an employee. As bad as that is, it doesn’t confirm rumours he raped random women in the 80s. If a 40 year old woman consented to a sexual relationship then it’s not even sexual harassment etc. he’s more in trouble for dipping his pen in the company ink.
On a side note, these stories has exposed wrestling Journalists who are really gossip writers. Thurston on twitter has gained a reputation as a wrestling economist expert. Today he tweets about so many shares being sold is unusual compared to a normal day and cried insider trading only for himto tweet two hours later oh, it may have something to do with rising share prices due to rumours of Vince stepping down.
It really was a disgusting tweet without any foundation and showed a lack of knowledge at best or malice at worst.
A real shame that we presumably lost some of the nuance and nice details in the Christian Cage angle on Dynamite. Jurassic Express losing the belts to the Hardy Boyz in the ladder match would have been a good trigger point for Christian to finally turn, considering Edge & Christian beat the Hardys in all three of the WM 2000 triangle ladder match, TLC and TLC 2.
Vince has stepped down as CEO.
Seems like a whitewashing effort. The wrestling side of the company has needed a monumental refresh for decades now. We got that with HHH's NXT, but that was long since quashed. Interesting times, but...

Steph in as his replacement and Vince is still running the shows.
Done for image.

The McMahons life is exactly like Succession! 
Steph stopping in is really weird, because it's been apparent, that the board have been pushing for her to leave due to being so bad at her job and responsibilities, hence why she basically stood down a month ago.
Clearly, now bringing her back, is more of using her just a figure head with the McMahon name for the present.
I still think WWE will be sold as the current TV deals run down.

They should vote Vince out of the company for good, his creative influence has been poor for some time.
On a note about tonight, does anyone think Roman will actually show up?

They can't. He has something like 80% of the voting power.
Vince on SmackDown tonight...
Oh god
That's ridiculous, the board should always be able to oust the ceo if they're a detriment.
It's all a work
