Vince is still involved with shitting up the creative side of WWE, so nothing will change there (for now).

 

[Kacho]

Megaton. Wow. Surprised it’s Stephanie taking control and not Nick Khan.

When the BTS drama is more entertaining than the actual product.

 

[chromhound]

Heard she was getting her cheeks clapped by McMahon and Laurinaitis. She's for the streets

 

[AJUMP23]

This is huge. I was always convinced Vince was a deviant, but the idea of passing a woman around the office is so far from what I thought would go on.

Maybe this will help the onscreen product.....I will watch Smackdown tonight for sure.

If the McMahons end up out of power then WWE will need someone with experience running a wrestling company.

Perhaps someone who recently returned in an influential role

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I love how they use a 20 year old picture here. I hope Vince gets what's coming to him. The whole company can go down for all I care.

 

[MastaKiiLA]

Vince is a piece of shit. Zero remorse for him, eventhough this is largely a private matter between consenting adults. However, it's a public company, and shareholders don't like you fucking with their worth. So fuck him, he can enjoy his billions in retirement.

 

[Just_one]

Honestly and serious i think the character Mr.Mcmahon gets retired tonight. Thats why he's showing up in character.

They're going to mute the crowd.

everyone in this story are pieces of shit. She could have kept her legs closed. Vince and the other guy could have kept their junk in their pants

Orrrr
She was basically forced to do all this shit.
“Please us or your fired.”

 

[SentientStone]

Must be kayfabe to align with the current culture war going on. Must be. Vince all along.

 

[BennyBlanco]

is this a work?

That would change the whole story

 

[WoJ]

Shocking that a guy who ran an angle where he kept his wife comatose in a wheelchair and made out with a 20-something in front of her, and then when he turned on said 20-something basically made her undress on live TV would do something like this.

Vince has always been a bad dude and deep down he is a carnie at heart as ALL wrestlers and wrestling promoters are even if they have tons of money.

I really don't care though. Just take the belt off Roman and write better characters and stories and Vince and Johnny Ace can tag team Sasha Banks as punishment for her walkout on live TV for all I care. Wrestling is trash TV and I embrace it as such (and love it).

His address was nothing. Just welcome, and walk off.

 

[Fox Mulder]

he's still the majority owner and holds the most voting power. He's still running the shows and his appearance tonight was showing he was still in control, as no one working there or even the network could say hey this is dumb. Even if this does finally bring him down completely, he'll just sell the company for billions.

Yeah, all seems kinda thin to me. Sounds like power play to get the old man out because let's face it, WWE has covered up far more egregiously dodgy shit than this in the past!

I mean also, let's be real I don't see this Vince taking this lying down. He's not some Ivy League educated geek, the man has "grapefruits"! It might force him to step back, but he's never, ever, going to let go.

"As God as my witness, she is broken in half!"

 

[Scotty W]

Don’t care. Vince should do what he wants.

 

[DKehoe]

Don’t care. Vince should do what he wants.

Anything? He's done some pretty fucked up shit in the past.

 

[UnNamed]

Is this part of the... comedy, right?

 

[AJUMP23]

This is a weird take. I think sexually abusing your employees is not something you want from the boss.

 

[Fermbiz]

Vince aint going anywhere.

No chance, if thats what you got!

 

[chromhound]

[Heart_Attack]

LOL at them trying to Me Too the guy with the most control/majority owner of the company.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Real missed opportunity not putting a poll in to see who here would fuck Vince for $3 million….

 

[Chronicle]

Orrrr

'Fired it is then!'

Not too hard is it?

 

[Craig of War]

Is this a story line?

 

[Celcius]

Is this a story line?

That's what I'm wondering. What ACTUALLY happened and why did he step down temporarily?

 

[ManaByte]

The article in the Tweet explains it pretty well.

Where was the abuse? It was a consensual relationship according to the Variety article.

 

[AJUMP23]

If it was all above board why pay 3 million in hush money. Also a relationship in a business where a superior is with a subordinate is an ethical dilemma. Executives should not be involved sexually with employees.

 

[ntropy]

so he paid 3 million for nothing
