Dav'oh Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 He'll find a way to be "unfit to stand trial/give evidence". His 'celebrity doctor' will help, there. Either in a civil trial, or on Federal sex-trafficking charges. Once the delaying tactics have run their course. Orange Jesus will absolve him of his sins if he gets back in anyway. Let's not get attached to the notion that Vince will be figuratively hung, drawn and quartered. At worst he'll have to wear a gown with an "R" on it (again, figuratively). I hope this cunt gets every cancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of people implicated from Vince to other corpos to talent to production and TV crews. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out who the other corporate officers mentioned are. Absolute straight predator shit start to finish. Can't even imagine if mid 70s Vince was this brazen and blatant AT WORK, with other co-workers, years after me too started taking these dudes down, how much of a horror show he had to be in the 80s. But what the fuck is Vince's deal with Johnny Ace? there is some vile vile stuff in here, i dont recommend reading it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read that part I thought "I can't believe this piece of trash is actually pulling the same bullshit he did with Stu Hart when he stiffed him on payments for Stampede back in 1984" Yeah, I'm in the wrestling bubble Seriously though, if all this is true, even though I thought Vince was human garbage before, this is so fucking gross. I hope Linda takes his ass to the cleaners and he ends up locked away Putting my lawyer hat on for a moment: this is a civil lawsuit. There is no criminal indictment. This may happen in the future, but for now he's not facing jail time, he's in jeopardy of being on the hook for damages in a civil lawsuit in the tens of millions of dollars.

Ricky Jackson Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Yeah, I realize that now. Worst case he loses a bit of his money. Poor guy. I guess he may be finally banished from the company if public outrage is loud enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Y'all are being naive if you think Linda gives a shit about this in the abstract. She'll care if still being married (in name only) to Vince hurts her political career more than divorcing would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 14 hours ago, Ricky Jackson said: I hope Linda takes his ass to the cleaners and he ends up locked away She's almost as bad and almost as gross, so fuck her too.

Embrodak Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I will say that a lawsuit filing is by definition tailored to make all named parties look as much at fault as possible, so while the text messages are basically irrefutable if they are demonstrated to have come from Vince, claims of others in the company “knowing” may be overstated unless evidence in discovery demonstrates otherwise. Vince showing people naked pictures of someone understood as his mistress and getting “Yeah, she’s hot, way to go Vince” would not be tantamount to knowledgeable complicity in gang rape and sex trafficking but could be represented in a lawsuit filing as such. What a sick fuck, though. Does every billionaire want to be Jeffrey Epstein? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I would submit that others in the company knowing and approving of Vince's rapist tendencies vs. the victim being gaslighted into thinking they are is mostly an academic distinction in terms of impact on the victim. And yeah, all the public evidence points to Linda being almost as devoid of redeeming qualities as her husband. At least Vince never tried to overturn an election. And it's my understanding that they've been living apart for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I said this elsewhere, it would have been better if in 1982, Vince Sr. just gave the company to Monsoon and Albano (I think he was in line for succession) and have them be co-owners. If Albano still meets Cyndi Lauper, they still go mainstream while Vince is still a lowly announcer in a yellow coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmare007 Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Vince finally resigning just because Slim Jim put their sponsorship in pause (and according to Fightful, there was a potential sponsor that decide to drop off negotiations today) is the corporate world in a nutshell. Only way something happens is if the people charge's money is in danger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in this timeline, though, isn't there a real possibility of Victor Quiñones ending up in a very high ranking position in the WWF? You'd probably get just as much depravity coming from their management if that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Vince had to resign, even if only a quarter that was alleged is true it would have made WWE a corporate Chernobyl as long as he was around in any form or fashion. What's going to be a bigger issue for the company is when people start piecing together who all the Unnamed WWE Corporate Employees are who are named in the lawsuit. It probably won't be too hard for the internet to do its thing and sleuth it out, as it will most likely reveal just how baked in all this sleaze is in the company. Of course none of that really matters, it's no secret that the corporate structure of WWE needed to be burned to the ground decades ago. What really matters is Vince finally having to accept some form of accountability for his gross behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Brown Koko Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Had Vince not sold the company, I wonder if people would have filed these lawsuits? It seems like although Vince got the cash, he inadvertently put himself in a position to finally be held accountable for his past behavior.

Probably not, since hush money arrangements like the one made with the woman filing this lawsuit were done so that the sale/merger could happen without any obstacles. An arrangement he apparently decided to throw in the trash the moment he figured she didn't pose any threat to derailing his access to easy billions anymore.
