May he and his wife go down in flames.
Let's start there, for loss of zero ambiguity.
But the Wall Street Journal report has finally claimed, at least for the time being, Vince McMahon's position as CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment..
Anyone, and I do mean ANYONE, who has known of the career of Vince McMahon since the day he spit on the legacy and good word of his father with the other promoters of the NWA (yes, WWE was formerly a member of the NWA until Vince Jr. got a hold of it -- there were a few bumps, notably around the time of the creation of the World Wide Wrestling Federation -- in 1980).
Anyone who believes this is not White Rich Republican American Man run fucking amok needs to remember that Vince covered up the steroids which were the reason he was able to put all the muscle-bound monsters of the cartoon 1980's together (and why his business shriveled the moment the government got wise to THAT operation with the Dr. Zaharian trial!).
Now, there is no secret that the NWA and Turner's WCW were also involved in the steroids (and, often, with wrestlers you wouldn't expect!). But this was more a generalized operation and the modus operandi of McMahon's company.
But then comes the reason that McMahon probably had to go with Hulk Hogan: The coverup of the Argentini murder by Jimmy Snuka...
I do believe Vince directly murdering Owen Hart...
(And I do think he kills Cody Rhodes for the work with AEW if he can. Best thing that probably could've happened to Cody was ripping his pectoral muscle and being out past Wrestlemania Los Angeles next year...)
Today's revelations pale in the sight of those two, but it really just shows the complete callousness of McMahon. And when you see how Vince treated women in his company for many a year in the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression Eras, none of this should be a surprise.
The only question now is when we find out about how many women wrestlers of the "Striptease Diva"/"Bra and Panties" Era he was fucking on the side, as a condition of THEIR employment.
Word, after the initial story, has come out that, though Vince and Republican Hag wife Linda are still technically married, they haven't lived together in many, many years.
And here's something you probably didn't know unless you've been watching recently: We're probably heading back into that era -- John Laurinitis (he of the finding talent in fitness and modeling magazines) is, once again, the head of Talent Relations. And he's knee-deep in these allegations as well. However, as of a statement this morning announcing Vince stepping back, Laurinitis has had no action (elective or otherwise) taken against his position.
The thing is, what finally is going to bring this son of a bitch down is his decision to take this company public and all of the things required of a public company when you do.
And a question I often ask in this kind of a position is "Who did he piss off?"
That answer is easy: NBCUniversal and FOX, who badly overpaid for the WWE broadcast rights, especially as ratings (comparative to what the WWE was probably selling to the companies when the broadcast rights went up).
And let's not forget HIS involvement as the forefather of Saudi Sportswashing!
The only question left, bluntly, is who else eventually comes forward -- and, eventually, who ends up with the company when it is clear that a rumored sale of the company now (and quickly!) becomes FORCED.
Late word: There is rumor he is scheduled to appear on Smackdown tonight. And in character. (That's NOT a very good idea -- in either fucking respect!)
And Stephanie McMahon is back with the company, just weeks after stepping down (it was believed because of HHH's declining health). She's taking over as CEO and Chairwoman of the Board.
And she was getting buried by the company for her talents on the way out... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
