Vince McMahon may actually be done this time [Trigger warning: Sexual Assault]

[air_raid]

He'd probably pay some young peoples' marketing agency to help get him up to speed with what all the kids are into these days, and end up deciding that for maximum "engagements" the matches will all need to be short enough to go on TikTok.

It's Vince, the same man who thought ZZ Top were at the bleeding edge of culture until about 2012. He'd probably end up hosting it all on Bebo.

Well, assuming he does go with his own instincts rather than pay an agency, he can hit ALL the big ones - MySpace, Bebo, Faceparty, Hi5. Let's just hope he doesn't accidentally revert to using Roman numerals wherever he can, otherwise that last one becomes problematic.

Having said all this... remembering WWEs brief fetish for Tout... I still don't know where Vine failed and TikTok has succeeded. Fickle kids.

Isn’t that what WWE is doing with WWE Speed, albeit on Twitter X instead?

Ah, you didn’t catch the one word that makes all the difference.

I'm sure many have already read it, but there's an NBC article on what Vince McMahon is up to these days (besides talking to lawyers). 

Apparently he's going to his barbers, eating at nice restaurants and going on holiday (where he comes back with cats as gifts for people). Per the article, he's still in contact with Trump, Dwayne Johnson and John Cena. 

Here's what Janel Grant's lawyer Ann Callis thinks of that last part: 

Callis also said there have been no settlement talks, despite McMahon believing it will end up being settled before going to trial. They're still adding to their mountain of evidence, speaking to past victims etc...

Never mind, turns out this was old news.

I'd be surprised if it was just a couple of established guys with careers in Hollywood that had extended a discreet "wanna talk about it champ" to Vince. It's cynical, but depending on where you're situated career wise and financially if a man like Vince is down you may feel it might be sensible confirming that he's definitely out before you either burn your bridges with him, or try and hammer more nails into his coffin. Whilst it's hard to see a way back for him now, events could conspire to put him in a position where's he's able to at least try and salvage what's left of his legacy and reputation. When you factor in his wealth and connections, the idea that he might still serve some utility to somebody isn't out the question.

I hope Chris Jericho is good friends with Vince

According to Sportico, Nick Khan has filed to sell all of his TKO shares. I wonder if he’s jumping before he’s pushed here. Not sure why he would get rid of his interests in the company.

Apologies for the double post but there’s been a small twist here.

Johnny has decided he wasn’t actually a victim and is on Vince’s side again.

New statement from John Laurinaitis's attorney Edward Brennan:

“John Laurinaitis has filed a Motion today fully joining in and adopting Vince McMahon’s motion to compel arbitration.  Mr. Laurinaitis corroborates Mr. McMahon in publicly declaring that Ms. Grant’s allegations of sexual abuse and coercion in her Complaint are completely unfounded.  My client will fight these false allegations together with Mr. McMahon in the proper forum, arbitration.”

Ah, the Matt Riddle approach. Nothing says, “definitely innocent,” like chopping and changing your story in a panic. Lying, sex pest scumbag.

[seph]

Janel Grant's civil suit is on hold. This could be the calm before the shitstorm starts in earnest.

He's absolutely fucked then.

I've just read everything on twitter and apparently they only pause and ask for lawsuits to be set aside if they have enough evidence for a criminal conviction and they apparently have a 95% success overall. Jesus Christ we're about too see Vince McMahon made accountable for the years of ruining lives and never being touched or whatever this is what he deserves and so much more.

Being a billionaire won't mean shit soon enough in a prison cell
