Vince McMahon "retires" Megathread Mod warning added in post 437

Lord TSC

This 100% deserves its own thread, lol.

Vince has announced his retirement this evening. Steph and Nick Khan take over as co-CEOs. Hunter back to replace Johnny Ace as Head of Talent Relations too.

feels like this is legit one of the biggest days in pro wrestling history now.

Mod: If people would just engage in a civil manner and cut out the tribalistic nonsense the forum might be in better shape. If you don't like something someone says report it and leave the modding to the moderators.

Why does "knowing" about McMahon giving a fake job to his lover make other people criminal as well?

Its not giving his lover a job that was the problem, it was the coercion and illegal crap that happened behind closed doors.

I know a guy who gave his nephew a cushy job, do I become a criminal if it turns out there was something dodgy going on between them back at home?

Lots of people will know McMahon was involved with this woman, but relationships aren't illegal, just knowing about it doesn't mean they were involved. For example, if Mahon told his PA to book a hotel room, then later abused the woman in it, is the PA a criminal for booking a hotel room for what she thought were two consenting adults?

Mod: deleted a crass post and a response to it there. No need for it.

Doesn’t look like Ronda is holding back in her book about Vince, Johnny or Bruce.

Yeah I'd agree and this WWE was also a publicly traded company this time and Khan was answerable to the shareholders of that company and if he knew the job created for the woman was a fake job then he is also tangentially invloved in facilitating the abuse.

So later on as Co-CEO with Steph and one of the people tasked to investage claim against Vince he knew the job he signed off on was a fake job yet he since found no issue with that investigation and reinstaged Vince.

So he was completely incompetent for the position he was in (Which I highly doubt) or he turned a blind eye which is even worse.

It's hard to believe that the likes of Stephanie and HHH didn't know about Vince and his assistant. Think about how people talk and gossip in work. You have a young, presumably attractive, assistant hired for a bogus job. You can only imagine the whispering and bitching going on about her in that office environment. They'd have to have heard something about it.

The only thing they can plausibly deny is they didn't know the level of debauched shít he was doing.

Unfortunately for Mr. Kahn, this kind of situation is almost binary, meaning no degrees of the thing will be tolerated. If he's in any way linked to facilitating what allegedly went on with McMahon and this woman, he'll be shown the door.

I think people need to not read too much into certain things and tar everyone with the same brush. Being named in the lawsuit does not mean you are dirty. Vince it really seems is an evil auld b@stard and obviously Johnny Ace and co seem very complicit and willing to turn on each other and all get pulled down.

I think I heard Kahn for example is implicated and the worst allegation against him is that Ms Grant says he said he knew very well who she was and was cold towards her when she introduced herself. I would not suggest she lied about this but really that could mean something like he knew she and Vince were up to innapropriate stuff behind closed doors and (perhaps didn't know more /to what extent because) he didn't approve of it and wanted no involvement with it.

I'm not defnding anyone here but I would guess the behind the scenes has been modernizing at a breakneck speed (because this industry has been in the stone-age and closed off from the public for so long) the past few years and certain dinosaurs have probably been thinking they were just turning a blind eye to some of Vince, that auld rapskallion's, affairs and perhaps not knowing that what was going on was actually far far worse.

Stephanie's absolutely up to her neck in the seediness of WWE, I would say. I know Nick Khan has been named in the lawsuit in some way, but I would be surprised if he's as involved as everyone else, though I obviously cannot rule this out. Nick Khan is an actual proper business person, as opposed to some depraved wrestling carny in a suit. If he'd seen that kind of thing going on, I'd imagine his self preservation instinct would have kicked in forthwith and gotten well the hell away from it.

There is no chance in hell (excuse the pun) that Stephanie and Khan didn't cover up for Vince previously.

Patrick Mahomes

Triple H must have gone blind and deaf a decade ago not to know what was going on with his wife and father in law and with other executives in the company he was an executive in.

Right now it's looking like there won't be single 'original' working there by the time this saga ends, and what I must wonder to myself is whether this is something that Emmanuel had planned all along. The timing of it seems very convenient.

I see Paul Heyman is getting inducted into the HoF. I have a suspicion that it could be Heyman who gets the job as creative head if Triple H is forced to suddenly retire. He may be far enough from the controversy (by a degree of millimeters, admittedly) to just about hang in there.

Endeavour really need to clear house and take a long hard look into Triple H too to be sure.

So, the new allegation is Khan and Nurse helped Vince employ the woman, knowing full well her main qualification was she was Vince's lover.

It does not accuse them of knowing the level of abuse she was suffering, though. But if they hired her because Vince wanted her close to hand due to their activities, that actually is a legal misdemeanor, from what I've read.

JP Liz V1

I'm in shock that Brock is back in WWE on Raw next week

Agent Coulson

Stephaine McMahon along with COO Brad Blum and WWE President Nick Khan and Brian Nurse former general counsel and head of WWE’s legal department have now been named as the previously unnamed corporte officers mentioned as the key figures in the WWE sex trafficing lawsuit.

The company is rotten to the core.

Patrick Mahomes

F’N hell I’ve read it all now without him there would be no pro wrestling!

Thats going down the Fed rabbit hole with a huge tin foil hat on and only thinking pro wrestling is WWF/E.

His behaviour is despicable but without him, there is no professional wrestling!

He brought it out of the territories and made it global.

Lord TSC

You can find it sad that a legacy is gone and history is tainted, without feeling sorry for the man himself

Patrick Mahomes

It is not sad at all the man is a F’N monster who deserves to be in prison till he dies and then burn in hell for eternity.

It is kind of sad Vinces legacy is fucked now

I'd say Vinnie is powerwalking his way through the good old days on Peacock on a daily basis.

Vince being deleted from his own company's history is very fitting given his own tendencies.
