      Vince felt that he got betrayed so he just didn't finish the payments. He paid 1 million probably to keep it under the radar of the corporate oversight.
      Signing the nda on behalf of wwe incorrectly, that's actually a great legal strategy. Most people, even lawyers, may not clue in that it's incorrect. If it actually goes to court it insulates the wwe from prosecution and that's where Vince has his money. He'd be open for legal challenge, but the wwe may be safe.

    In the "Thank you Vince" chant, the audience begins it, Stephanie stops it so she can call for it moments later. However, if you look at her face as she is chanting, she looks like she is in pain or discomfort, even when mouthing "I love you dad". It didn't look like love was the emotion she was feeling. Maybe I am seeing more than is there... .anybody else take a look and see the same thing?

    If anyone's got time, go back to the March 5th, 2001 episode of Raw. The infamous dog barking segment with Vince and Trish Stratus. The way the segment unfolds is exactly how Janel Grant's lawsuit reads.
    Upon learning Trish is an aspiration starlet "willing to do anything", Vince begins to give her special treatment & expensive gifts. Vince admits to a sexual relationship with her and manipulates Trish with power and money. He then forces her to disrobe to prove her loyalty & "how sorry she is". Vince makes her bark like a dog on all fours & forces her to disrobe down to almost nothing.
    I know it's wrestling and it was a long time ago. But it's literally how Janel Grant describes her encounters with Vince McMahon.
    Considering Vince had full autonomy over this piece of television, this was his idea.
    If Vince was comfortable & arrogant enough to put this segment on TV for millions and a crowd of 10,000, imagine what he was doing in his actual personal life.

    Stephen P. New thinks the Executive #1 or whatever, is Kevin Dunn. He also thinks the celebrity doctor is Dr. Oz.
    The confusing part for me is $3 million is complete pocket change for Vince, regardless, yet he somehow couldn't afford it.

    • @Hedgehobbit
      @Hedgehobbit 7 месяцев назад +5

      I don't think it was because Vince couldn't afford it, but more likely that Vince knew that he was being watched. Any payment over $10,000 would notify the Feds and the FBI was already investigating him. I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out that Vince was texting the woman telling her to wait a little longer.

      #1 He didn't become rich by paying people, and that mindset of holding onto every dollar doesn't die easily just because he now has the means.
      #2 He probably has a disconnect from reality on what is a lot of money to "regular people", he is probably thinking she should be set for life off the $750k or whatever he already gave her, probably thinks all of his talents were well compensated, etc.
      #3 He was largely a billionaire in theory only. The "cashflow" explanation actually has merit, in that the money he actually had at his disposal from dividends, other investments, salaries, etc put him in a very wealthy class, but only in the tens of millions, not even over a hundred. He only recently cashed out about a quarter of his piece of the company for the $750M to hedge his bets against the madness that is about to ensue, hoping the rest of his stake dramatically rises but knowing there is a possibility of it all going to crap knowing what he knows. The biggest withdrawl from his leveraged wealth previous to this was the $60-$80 million range he put into Linda's senate campaigns.
      He wasn't even spending his own money on these sechs affairs, he was misappropriating company funds for them. His appearance as a billionaire, aside from personal assets such as homes, were mostly financed by the company as business expenses. $3m of personal cash would still have made a huge dent in his personal "cashflow" for something that has no tangible return on investment.
      That being said, not paying the rest after getting caught is a horribly dumb lapse in judgment (in terms of financial risk, of course the actual behavior is the dumbest).

To make him look harmless, old & vulnerable because he seen all this was coming?? As usualy he is the opposite of never wanting to show weakness, he'd likely have not used a cane even if he was in pain or else just not be seen at all and send somebody in his place rather than appear in public looking old & weak if none of this was ever going to come out. Yet he was fine with walking around along side the Undertaker with a walking stick.

    Given that Brian has operated in the business world at a high level, I am somewhat surprised by some of his comments. The reason that no one has spoken out is very simple. By it's nature, professional wrestling is an insular and secretive business. Do you really think that there are not NDAs in place preventing board members from discussing internal business matters relating to WWE? I have signed NDAs pertaining to low level business matters in the retail sector. There is no question that board members are required to sign NDAs as a condition of employment, especially in this day and age. Stephanie's actions, as well as the comments made by the board members that quit, are about as far as they could go publicly without opening themselves up to litigation.

    Good points to consider right off the top here about Vince's power in WWE before the sale. One of the big questions coming out of this suit is gonna be: Who was staying quiet because they were involved and who was staying quiet out of fear of Vince wrecking their career? Also, you can understand the fear of the latter from e.g. talent or low-grade office staff, but are Execs afforded the same right to that? Feel like we're gonna find it ain't so black and white at the top.
    Khan, Trips and Steph voting to block Vince from returning to the board (which ordinarily would be considered a brave move out of context), while the latter two being in/out in perfect sync with Vince being out/in does give the impression they didn't want to be complicit in this - but the question is: Were they brave enough? Could they have done more?

    There's so much here that doesn't add up. According to the articles she was 38 years old, unemployed and living in Park Tower Stamford where a 2 bedroom condo is worth around $1.2 million. I wish I was unemployed and could somehow live somewhere luxurious like that. It says her parents passed away and lost their family home to bankruptcy, so I assume they lived in their own house until they both passed away. If my parents owned a home and passed away I'd rather it not be repossessed by the bank. Normally it takes 4 months of missed payments before the wheels start spinning on the property being repossessed and another 8 months after that to finalize everything.
    She was supposedly introduced to Vince by their same building manager when she was 38 years old according to the articles. Not 16. Not 18. Not 21. Nope.... at 38 years old. If at that age you're being taken advantage of sexually by an old man who could barely walk....I think it's safe to say you're not as innocent as you're trying to make yourself out to be. Not saying Vince is innocent because anyone with common sense knows that the guy is evil. He's a rich predator who feels he has the right to have any female due to his wealth. However females and males both have to have common sense and respect themselves enough to say no way old man. 🤦 Apparently John Laurinaitis is also crying that he's a victim and that Vince made him sleep with other people...like come on now. Imagine being a rich 60 year old crying that a rich 80 year old made you bang a dumb 38 year old. This just sounds like a bunch of people having their own twisted fantasy sex until someone changes the story up while trying to make a quick buck.
