Vince sued for more Weinstein-style sexual misconduct.

Vince saying he got "bad advice" to step away last year. Like they think sex trafficking is bad or something.

After reading Vince's messages and "activities" with this woman, I think he has a pretty tight alibi. He was just working out some Raw storylines. That part where he takes a dump on her head and leaves the two of them in bed to go shower was actually used for the Revival I think.

Vince makes his buddy, President Grab Them by the Pussy, look like a boy scout.

Remember, this is a man who is said to be disgusted by sneezing, but at least he's bonding with lower level employees.

Now we know why Brock walked out when Vince initially left, but can't wait till he drags some of the more respected talent like Cena and Taker into this.

Vince stepped down, again. Hopefully this time they don't let him back in any capacity.

"I stand by my prior statement that Ms. Grant's lawsuit is replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and is a vindictive distortion of the truth," McMahon said in the statement. "I intend to vigorously defend myself against these baseless accusations, and look forward to clearing my name.

-the guy who resigned

Look I realize it’s innocent til proven guilty but shout out to Vince on being the rare kind of guy where you can unequivocally say ‘ya, he did that ****’

This is interesting and if true, good for Shane.

I was thinking about last night how awful it is for not only the kids who are grown up, but the grandkids to have to deal with this. It's not often I feel bad for people who have all the money in the world, but here we are.

Is he saying the messages from him are fake?

Steph, Shane and HHH may have disagreed, disliked and argued with vince for years, but they still let him go on with what he did and profited hugely from it.

Casual fans have known for decades how big of a scumbag vince is, so obviously anyone close to him and his business have known all that we know and much, much more and they still let him carry on with it.

They all showed up and promoted vince and his product pretty much to this day.

And "well, yes, but I didn't like it..." is not a great excuse.

It says he shut down the shenanigans in front of high level executives and it is one of the reasons Shane left. Not sure what more he could have done if he didn't have evidence of a specific incident. Leaving the company is a pretty big sign that he didn't approve of the way Vince was acting/operating.

It's nice to think we'd all be the hero of our own story when it came to it, but I'm not sure how much more Shane should be expected to do. It's still his father and an extremely powerful man. I can't blame the man for not publicly taking down his own father.

Look what happened after Vince stepped down the first time. He was welcomed back to the board with open arms.

Hell, he'd probably still be cheered in many arenas around the country if he showed up tonight.

All of them. He would be cheered in all of them. Wrestling fans are ****ed up.

He obviously would. You just have to go to reddit.com/r/WWE/ to see a lot of posts from people blindly defending him right now.

Obviously growing up with vince as a dad was not easy and I'm not saying they should've given their life to take him down.

I'm not saying I blame them for what they did (or didn't) do - I'm just saying that at best what they did(n't) do is the least of what they could/should've and it's not something deserving of praise.

The one thing that did seem odd from some of the messages was that, at least at times, she did seem complicit and a willing participant. As depraved as his actions were, if she was okay with it, maybe that's his defense?

If her problem was not that he did all these things, but instead that he just didn't pay her for them...

Although, I don't claim to know the whole story. I've only seen bits and pieces and playing devil's advocate for a minute. I doubt any of us have a frame of reference of someone acting like this, which could help us better understand it.

Friend of mine said that Vince & Trump are the modern day SNL Wild & Crazy Guys skit. I chuckled.

Of all the odd things, I find this out by clicking into a headline that says "1990s pro wrestler and former Steve Austin opponent dies."

Would it be possible to figure out my age simply from the phrase "I always kinda liked Ice Train"?

Again, playing devil's advocate, there is no job I can ever conceive of anyone ever having where they allow someone to do the things Vince did to her and talk the way he did without it being part of what you are being paid for.

He's going to argue that she was into it.
