Generations

Not Roman. The Rock is on the TKO board of directors. His daughter went from being an absolute nobody on NXT to being the youngest GM...for literally no reason. Now the Rock is booking himself to basically win the WWE title (if he wants). At this point, I'm not sure there has been a quicker abuse of power in the history of any company. Lol

He's trash. Carry on.

We're gonna get casuals booking the shows how they think fans want them. Probably half booked by AI and half booked by people like The Rock and a bunch of suits. - Basically a throwback to when Saudi wanted people like Yokozuna and Ultimate Warrior on their shows. Lol. We live in a nightmare now.

Nah...Punk is thrilled he gets paid to sit at home. I'm sure. That man made a LOT of money. Cody definitely could be winning championships elsewhere.

A federal investigation is as deep of shit as you can find yourself in. - A settlement would be handled in a civil suit, and we're already beyond that. Vince is being investigated by the federal government on charges of sex trafficking. And if they prove that he actually is guilty of that...then he's beyond cooked. While they're looking for evidence of sex trafficking, they very well might find evidence of other serious charges. Steroid stuff...or even the coverup of Snuka killing that girl. Who knows what else... I see a lot of people casually ignoring that prostitution is illegal. - There are a lot of people saying "he paid to sleep with some woman...who cares?" Which is as tone-deaf as people can get. Like...even with all the abuse aside...not paying the amount that was agreed upon, etc. At the very least, he was paying women for sex, which is a crime in itself. And if he literally told Brock that sleeping with this chick was part of signing a contract...then that is indeed sex-trafficking. That makes Vince a pimp, in so many words.

Not me casually hoping Stardust returns, just because I genuinely like that character. Lol

I don't even hate what happened as much as other people seem to. I literally accepted this when the rumors started about Rock, months ago. I never thought Cody/Reigns was going to happen...not even when he won the Rumble a second time. The thought was just never in my mind. I don't agree with the booking. I think you could have had Cody dethrone Reigns...and then the Mania match could be Rock/Reigns WITHOUT the title. I think it's typical WWE "all or nothing" booking, which I've grown to loathe. But...the stuff that happened on SD? Doesn't bother me. It was a foregone conclusion. I don't see The Rock actually winning the match at Mania. I think this just makes it obvious that they intend to keep building Roman's record. It's definitely the only chance they'll ever have to do it. It will never happen again. So...how long do they run with that? I highly doubt Rock wins. Rock can take that loss...Cody can't. So, that's why he doesn't get the match yet.

Oh, yeah...most of that is garbage (especially the Bray thing). Ashley Massaro was definitely abused by Vince, though...the full degree of which, we might not know. Maybe it was only advances and innuendo. Maybe it was more. - But, Paul London (who was her boyfriend for a period of time) confirmed that she would cry and tell him things that Vince asked her to do. It wouldn't surprise me if she was the former wrestler who was paid 7.5 million for being coerced into oral sex with Vince. - If not her, then she was definitely in that same boat, and it could have easily been her as well. (In which case, the 7.5 payoff still went to a former wrestler...which is insane to consider). Personally, I think there's a good chance that every woman who did Playboy was probably treated questionably by Vince. On that list, we have names like Ashley Massaro, Maria, Christy Hemme, Chyna, Torrie Wilson and Sable. - Torrie reported that there were lots of times in her career that she felt placed in uncomfortable positions that she didn't want to be in. She even says that Vince told her she should do a film for Playboy to follow up her photo shoot...which she declined. Chyna...we all know how poorly she was treated by a number of people. Sable...got with Brock, so who knows. Christy Hemme? I would bet good money... Maria Kanellis did Playboy, seemingly out of nowhere. - I remember her being a VERY conservative woman who said something about how she would never pose nude because it would embarrass her family or something. Next thing you know...boom, she's in playboy. Then she leaves WWE to go to RoH and Japan...but, why? I mean...imagine how Vince's brain works. Then imagine he has access to these magazines. I'm sure he takes that as an invite to say and do things that a boss should not be saying or doing. How could it not go down like that? He probably pulled the classic Trump move of walking into dressing rooms too. "5 minutes to showtime"...yeah, I bet.

Mania needs Jacob Fatu in order to tell the story that should be told. Having him debut and help Reigns beat Rock would be the perfect moment. - Without that, Reigns/Rock isn't really an enticing endeavor. (There needs to be that moment of Reigns getting away with Bloodline shit yet again). And Fatu is the perfect guy for that. - Time to have a savage in WWE again.

The WCW thing is factual. Vince only paid 4.3 million for WCW. His alleged sex payoffs are over 19.6 million, and that's only the stuff that already happened (and that we know about). - The current girl was supposed to be another 3 million, but Vince stopped paying her after around 1 million. All things said, he still spent 20+ million on scandals (again...that we KNOW of). So...like 5x more money spent on sex than the acquisition of WCW. Lol

A true statement that should make everyone pause and think.

Dumbass behavior, if true. Paid people millions without going through the proper legal avenues.

Federal now. I think he's really going to prison. Good.

Alleged text regarding the Lesnar situation...(read at your own discretion):

He's certainly the most prolific. If you say "born again wrestler"...I think HBK is the top name that comes to anyone...especially during the era that is being referenced in the story...back when Missy Hyatt and Medusa were there. It definitely could not be him...but, going out of your way to say "born again" seems to imply something, IMO.

Shit is getting heated...can't keep up with it all: That's gotta be HBK, no?

Johnny Ace now says he is a victim; was forced by Vince to do it. Lol https://www.vice.com/en/article/epv757/co-defendant-in-vince-mcmahon-sex-trafficking-lawsuit-says-he-was-a-victim-too And then there's this: Dude is America's most wanted. Lmao. If Brock says he was forced too, I'm done. Lol

Ngl...everything about the game looks great this year. I wonder if allowing people like Lil Naitch and Ref Jess to be in the game as actual referees directly has something to do with Vince not being in power. - I could totally see him being like "refs don't matter...we can save money by not including them", whereas, HHH would be like "everyone matters, this is team, etc"...

Man...I can't stop thinking about ALL the things. Stuff like the Diva Search. How many of those contestants were just fodder? Michelle McCool married Undertaker. Was she literally auditioned for him? Those rumors about Jenna Jameson thinking Taker was going to abduct her in the 90's. Everyone close to Vince is under scrutiny now. If Brock was "in", then Taker was definitely in. I trust no one. Women like Sara Lee and Ashley Massaro, who killed themselves... And...when Vince forced his way back into WWE after the takeover. It made no sense. He shouldn't have had that leverage. UNLESS he said "I'll expose how deep this goes. I'm already an old man with nothing to lose." - How much sense does it make for him to call their bluff and say "I'll take the whole company with me." - It feels like this is what happened. Why else would they bring him back? It wasn't good business. Everyone on the board expressed that it was bad for business. There's no logic behind the leverage he seemingly had...unless that was it.

Man...I would not be surprised AT ALL if this was for an illegitimate child. And it would totally explain why Vince already had the idea to do the Hornswoggle angle. His way of joking about getting away with it? Indirectly calling his offspring a little bastard? I wouldn't be surprised at all.

I don't feel bad for him...that's twice now that he's been paid a shitload to sit at home. No one has ever made more money doing less. Lol

Cut to commercial the moment a painful submission is applied is an odd choice. Kinda kills any notion that he might give up.
