I'm going to put this down as my final words on the matter until the lawsuit is heard and actions taken.
Vince McMahon Jr, the promoter, the pioneer I guess, is someone I revered for years when I first got into wrestling. Arguably you could say without him, we don't get this huge juggernaut that we have today around the world. The hours of entertainment I've been provided, the friends I've made on forums and at events, none would be possible without WWE.
That said, these allegations that have emerged not only in this lawsuit but around the years, are just absolutely sickening, vile, obscene and grotesque. As a father to girls, it takes on extra significance. A vile systematic culture of engrained abuse appears to have been around for decades in many industries - music, television, Hollywood and pro wrestling. It just sickens me to my core that this has gone on and these poor women have had to endure such atrocious situations.
Sunny, Sable, Chyna, Teri, Marlena, Trish Stratus, Lita, The Kat, Christy Hemme, Ashley Massaro (RIP), Candice Michelle, Brooke Adams, Joy Giovanni, Maria, Amy Weber, Mickie James, Lana. I am sure I am missing so many more but the degrading presentation on TV towards them and events happening off screen are just abysmal to have occurred. It wasn't even 'entertaining.' Thankfully our society is maturing and making things better.
I feel for Stephanie as I can't imagine the possible horrors she was subjected to growing up and being around the business. Those promos in 2003 about being used to help business meetings didn't seem acted. Her being slut-shamed and referred to as a prostitute on a weekly basis is just beyond reproach. The pitching of either Vince or Shane being the father of her child for TV storyline. My fucking gosh. His promo suggesting Taker's house being burned down, children kidnapped and wife be gang raped by a motorcycle gang is just disgusting. Fueling the Kurt Angle storyline where he stalked and kissed Stephanie WITH direction from Vince.
I hope that the law is able to be applied in the way it needs to be. I hope that he serves prison time if found guilty. I hope that his enabling cunt germ Johnny Ace is treated likewise, and any other person who sought gratification off of shared pictures/videos.
