I'm just kind of speaking to myself with this post, but I been watching wrestling on and off again for a little over 25 years now. In that time I have read several wrestling books (all of Jericho's books, Bret Hart, both of JR's books, Moxley's book, and a few others). I have also seen a few documentaries, and other behind the scene shows on wrestling. Very rarely has Vince McMahon come across well when mentioned in these books and TV shows, not surprising I guess.

But the real takeaway from these books and shows is how closed off Vince really is. He basically comes across as someone whose entire life is the WWE. Many describe a Vince who gets driven from hotel to venue and back, and barely goes anywhere else. A guy who is essentially living in a bubble, the WWE bubble if you will. So if Vince thought he could get away with something (or anything) like this is not surprising (I still think he likely will). I would be surprised if Vince even knows what happened to Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby, again he lives in his own world (or bubble).

Yeah, he's no saint that is for sure.

But the allegations isnt as severe as the other two you mentioned - basically he had an affair and used money and power to silence the affair which seems to be why he's in the hot seat.

The only reason why he didnt get the complete boot was because no other thing came in the light that would be more severe.

The affair from the looks of it seems like it isnt that much of a big surprise or a issue with the family considering Vince blurted out in a recent interview about his wife being his "Wife at the time" which no one would say unless they are separated or something.

Now if a former WWE staff member whether in the back or one of the talent comes out and spills the beans, he is screwed.

Though I think at the most, it'll be Johnny Laurinitis (or w/e the hell his name is lol) that will get the boot. He'll be the scapegoat for sure.

We don't know if he'll get kicked out yet. Stephanie is now the interim CEO.

I could care less if he had an affair with anybody, that's between him and Linda. But if he used his position of power to pressure employees into anything, or used company money/promotions to encourage someoene to have sex with him (both of which are alleged), that's not ok.
