Anybody buying Vince McMahon merch should be named in the lawsuit.

The story is getting mainstream attention in the UK now too, it’s currently on the BBC homepage and the 6th most read story - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68104198

Pretty sure a lot of mainstream places covered the initial stuff with Vince too? Seemed to go pretty quiet and everyone moved on.

So is it time for WWE to die?

If you're geniunely asking, yeah I do tbh.

I'd be very surprised if there was any more coverage of this story than has already happened.  Whenever wrestling industry issues get mainstream press coverage, generally the reaction is "it's wrestling".  Everyone outside the wrestling bubble assumes it's a seedy, carny, low-rent industry full of dubious individuals and so there's no surprise factor.

The steroid scandal was as close as Vince/WWF ever came to really being exposed and they survived that.  Major stories like Ashley Massaro have come and gone in recent years without a trace.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not expecting anything from this.  Ultimately she's suing because he didn't pay the full hush money and so has broken their contract.  It's not a proper, criminal case where things are going to get forced into the light, money will change hands and the press will move on.

Look, Donald Trump was found by a court of law to have raped E Jean Carroll and it's not even stopped him defaming her, let alone dented his political career.  This is America.

Great, I'm assuming you have alternative employment strategies for their many employees and the numerous service providers and small business that work with them across the world, then.

Those morals don't stretch to putting many people out of work though, do they.

Probably scrambling a quick edit to the ending now.

Really curious to see the tone of the piece and what angle they take.

Must be a weird world you live holding such a hard-line standard of morals and consequence that the only music you must be allowed to listen to morally is Daniel O'Donnell.

God, I hope Danny isn't a sex pest, Won't be able to listen to his beautiful voice anymore, if he is.

I think "most" is a stretch. There's thousands of people over the years that I doubt had a fucking thing to do with any of this.

Are you suggesting that most of the 900 direct employees of WWE are sex pests?
