This was an insanely good 6 part series. BtB is great, and this series is peak BtB!

Tbh I thought it was weird they devoted so much time to a fairly minor bastard by their normal standards.

Fair point. I think it was the fact that he's a more modern bastard and the amount of entertaining stories from the wrestling world is huge. I really enjoyed those 3 weeks.

Anyone got a paywall workaround?
I don’t care much about wwe, but never liked piece of shit McMahon, and I’d really like to read about the beginning of his end.

Back in the 90s I was a big WWF/WWE fan. But as McMahon kept taking larger and larger on-screen? on-canvas? roles, it all become rapidly more skeevy. Not that he wasn't a shitbag behind the scenes. From the way I've always heard he treated the wrestlers, he's hot garbage. And tbh, this story is horrifying and entirely not surprising at all.

It’s absolutely awful. I don’t think I’ve watched more than 3 minutes of wwe in total. I only took interest in finding out who he was because of the fucking meme that he is in. But there’s just something about McMahon that just screams pieceofshitabusivegarbagehuman. And yes, this story is not surprising at all.

The first time I saw a Brock lesnar ufc fight, I was very shocked by this brutal knuckle dragger -mind you, I was very young and it was probably one of the first times I saw a ufc fight on the screen. When I saw he’s part of the story, I wasn’t surprised. But I was hoping that maybe he’d have a redeeming quality, and that maybe he’d stood up to McMahon and defended Grant… no such luck, of course. Why do men in power have to be such pieces of shit…

The article is pretty graphic with her accusations. If they're proven true (she has texts, etc) this may the end of McMahon and Laurinaitis.

I mean, there was video of Robert Kraft utilizing a sex trafficking operation and not only was it suppressed in court, he's still an NFL owner that people say nice things about.

It'll be nice if Vince gets held accountable, but I won't hold my breath.
