AFCDannyFTH Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Nick Khan is one cutthroat motherfucker. Hopefully this is the start of a real change in WWE, it's been 95% dogshit for the last decade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Vince is just going to brazen this out. The bollocks on him. Guaranteeing eyeballs tonight. He's undeniably been a creepy b*****d throughout his life but I fail to see the big deal out of this one. He's been pumping someone consenually and kept them quiet with millions of WWE money. He's undoubtedly done much, much worse in his time that should be focused on more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's undoubtedly done much, much worse in his time that should be focused on more. The only bit that sounds properly unsavoury is the "passed on to Johnny Ace like a toy" line, but then that could just be a particularly loaded choice of words (or perfectly apt, who knows). In the big long list of things that Vince may or may not have done wrong, this one seems fairly tame i=in comparison. Even if it is though, it's the sort of thing that may not fly business wise. Maybe without the CEO stuff, we'll be seeing him more on-screen? Which would obviously be a fucking disaster, but still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFCDannyFTH Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I do wonder if it's more due to the other historical hush agreements. If he comes out and does this though, he might be confirmed as the greatest villain in history - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It's hard to fathom exactly what he's going to say tonight to be honest. Seems on the face of it, despite the grubby nature of it, ultimately a business thing. I'm not sure it really needs the real and kayfabe to clash like that if he's going to come out and say he isn't CEO given he's still in charge of creative. We're getting some kind of angle, aren't we? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're getting some kind of angle, aren't we? 100%. They've announced that it's 'Mr. McMahon' appearing tonight and they usually are keen to make that distinct as his character rather than Vince McMahon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's undoubtedly done much, much worse in his time that should be focused on more. That's part of the issue though, it's a public company with shareholders, a board of directors etc and he's chucking company money at someone for stuff like this - although it's said the 3m payoff was his own money, the issue with her salary is still there. Bill Gates was punted from Microsoft for a consensual affair wasn't he? although i'm sure McMahon has tied the company up in all sorts of knots which would make it impossible to oust him. The main worry for him is that this leads a greater investigation into his sleazy antics which could snowball pretty quickly.

Bert Raccoon Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I think in the current climate you just can't get away with that shit anymore (you never should have been able to in fairness), add in Social Media outrage and he's not going to just be able to ride this out. One person speaks out (cases like Kevin Spacey for example) and next thing you know it snowballs. This is surely only the tip of the iceberg and I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot more sordid details about old Vince. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeArab Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Hope the Netflix documentary team are there filming behind the scenes shit. Nick Khan dancing on Vince’s table screaming at Kevin Dunn and Bruce Pritchard that they’re next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Meltzer is a fucking geek. The fact that people still place any weight in his 'Thing X may happen but may not, it's still up in the air' cover all for every story is mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
