Signing for the Dees? Could see him as a tricky winger type.
Someone would need to tell him that doing the Tarantula submission around the post is a yellow card & spitting his black mist in an opposition player's face is a red.

Only if the ref sees it...

With this stuff in particular though, it's not necessarily illegal, right? I'm no lawyer and haven't really followed it closely, so if it is, I stand corrected.  It's definitely suspect from the head of a company, but that's probably why they've made the changes they have.  Stephanie comes in either permanently or until someone else gets appointed, so Vince is "away" and he continues to be employed in a non-board sense in creative.  He'll likely remain there until he decides he doesn't want to anymore, or he dies.

As an exercise replace Vince McMahon's name with Harvey Weinstein in some of the headlines.

Quote

The deals include a $7.5 million pact with a former wrestler/actress who alleged that McMahon/Weinstein coerced her into giving him oral sex and then demoted her and ultimately declined to renew her contract after she resisted further sexual encounters, people familiar say

Quote

In another deal, a WWE/TWC contractor presented the company with unsolicited nude photos of McMahon/Weinstein she reported receiving from him and alleged that he had sexually harassed her on the job, people familiar say. McMahon/Weinstein agreed to pay her roughly $1 million.

Yeah, I've just read the stuff about the coercion, and that puts it in a far different light.  I hadn't really read beyond the first case, which seemed to be a consensual enough relationship but just really, really ill-advised. This does go further

Oft. I might actually start tuning in. It'll no doubt still be the same nonsense, but Vince seems to only make good TV when there's a fire under his arse and goes TV-14.

Nothing will improve as long as that creepy old sex pest is still in charge of creative.

He's been in charge for 40 year. Peaks and troughs.
