Vince McMahon Sex Trafficking / Resignation Mega Thread

[Smart Marx]

this is another dark fucking day of many for wrestling

I have a feeling this stain will permeate all over the industry like when Benoit killed his family. It’ll be a long time before it fades and will leave ripples in its wake.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Just want to reiterate this in case it got lost.

Fuck anyone thinking of bringing Brock in right now.

at the very best he is a prospective John in a sex trafficking lawsuit that could become a criminal investigation. It would be insane to have him on tv imo

 

[Sabretooth]

I doubt it’s gonna have a substantial impact on the people that watch it tbh.

 

[Smart Marx]

The crowd did pop heavy.

Yeah. It was an all-time payoff. Not everything involving sex appeal he did was out of bounds. Just when it’s clearly pushing good taste.

it might get worse if more women come out, unfortunately

Exactly. Endeavor are claiming they’re investigating this internally. One would think that includes Brick and they’d halt any prior plans to put him anywhere near television. Especially if they care even a little bit how it makes them look.

If even a small percentage of these reports are true, Vince should be in prison. He is a disturbing and truly horrifying person.

From your fingers to god’s eyeballs.

 

[Comrade Khan]

and yeah always remember to ask yourself if your entertainment is worth someone else legit suffering. pretty fucked up thing to have to think and a bit ironic watching people in their underwear slamming each other on a bunch of springs

I mean it’s hard to determine what’s pushing good taste in the world of wrestling. Let’s be real. The Godfather’s gimmick was literally a pimp who had a hoe train and he was super over.

A pimp is someone who sells women to other men. And this is what wwe was pushing and it was working.

 

[Comrade Khan]

entertainment has to evolve with the time and one would argue they only got their big tv paydays once they cut this shit out and appealed to a more family friendly environment and advertisers

 

[Comrade Khan]

honestly Vince booking is one of the main reasons wrestling is seen as low brow still

Keep incest, bestiality, trafficking, rape, other stupid shit like that out of it and I’m good with it.

That didn’t really directly address my point of Godfather being super over lol.

Oh for sure. This is why when people try to take ratings completely out of the picture it’s kind of silly because it’s like it’s all part of the package group ratings. What kind of advertisers you can get? What’s the range of the family you can sell products to, etc. And you get the big bucks.
