“Can’t believe you stand with Trump, absolutely disgusting…by the way, do you have a forwarding address so I can send this Thank You card to Vince?”

To be fair to Mick, he's probably just tagging Jack White in the hopes that some cross-promo/visibility minutia can sell an extra half dozen comedy show tickets. One of which might be willing to put him up for the night.

I mean fair play to him for that. Too many performative people who sit in silence and we know there others there who feel similarly but are contracted and can’t quit. Nothing will change in regards WWE’s position but still respectable he took that stance.

It'll read badly this like I'm making an excuse for him but with a lot of these people that 'defend' Vince (except Bret, but his relationship and run ins with Vince are so different), that a lot of them I think are in a sort of brainwashed denial about it, because of how he structured his relationship to them and shit, so while Foley can trash the President for saying and doing awful things, it's probably weirder in the Vince sphere of their mind because of that, and because they don't have that relationship to Donald Trump.

I don't think he's being performative, I think he's just like a lot of these wrestlers. They condemn it mostly, but are trying to somewhere in their mind figure out a person that gave them their living and probably manipulated them mentally can do the same thing but with vile sex crimes and coercion etc.

They absolutely should be more out the woods about it though, all those who attended his birthday party are surely not pro Vince's crimes because it just makes no logical sense, but they have some mad attachment to him still, and those who just don't believe it are probably way too deep into his cult mindset to detach yet.

I realise I just used the term 'logical sense' about pro wrestlers, so maybe I just expect more clarity from people clearly at ill ease confronting a big part of their own lives... And you know maybe they're just cunts who don't say boo to a goose because they still want the paydays.

Let's see him demonize Vince. We know he won't. Rings hollow. For all we know, they weren't willing to pay him more money and this is his way of parting ways. 

I think this is it as well 😅

The reason he was DLC in a few games was because of this reason

Sorry if this goes slightly off topic.  Has anyone watched the 50 Cent P Diddy documentary on Netflix? I've seen a lot of rhetoric about it online with people essentially saying things like 'If they all knew he was doing all these awful things, why did they stick around so long?'. I think the situation with Vince and a lot of the wrestlers is the same (without the knowledge that Vince is willing to stoop to killing people) but they were so entrenched in it that the behaviour almost becomes normalised and you don't quite realise how shocking it is. I work with a lot of victims of child abuse and there is a similar level of desensitisation due to exposure. I know sometimes I experience it when I come across cases that are 'less serious' I can be blasé about it because I've seen so much worse.

I'm not defending those that stick by Vince or stay quiet but I think there is a lot of Stockholm Syndrome happening
