      I think they just found the whole situation to be absurd. Also, I'm sure homosexual activity was not as accepted or respected back then. Lastly, men, especially wrestlers, were/are viewed as much stronger and aggressive than women and not as susceptible to sexual harassment; therefore, many people don't take it as seriously as when it happens to women.

      The announcers story sounds kind of bogus for sure, like what happened to him was bogus.
      But do you really think that Pat Patterson went to Vince McMahon and said something like "hey you're announcer won't suck my c ck. Fire him for me" and so McMahon obeyed that order?
      Was it possible if there's a little more to the story?
      And no. That doesn't make it right for Pat Patterson to go around pressuring people under him to touch his butt bat but we had gay men so deep in the closet at that point that there was an entire culture of this shit that happened.
      You can't look at that announcer and listen to him and tell me that Patterson shouldn't think he would be able to take a swing at that lol

      you goddamn fucking idiots are the problem how many of you don't really care about male survivors of sexual assault until you realized "i could use this against FuCKING FEMINISTS!!!!!!"
      you know, generally speaking, when a guy comes out as having been sexually assaulted it's the guys who are first to rag shit on him and the feminists who are first to support him, but since none of you total jackarses have ever paid any attention to what actual feminists say or do you just sit back and talk absolute shit based on vague, second hand appraisals from whichever source fitted your view best. or maybe some super chopped up list of quotes that you straight up didn't understand.
      sexual assault against guys is taken uniquely less seriously, in some specific ways for sure, but it sure ain't women who are usually the problem. but if you want people to believe you're not misogynist, or whatever, hearing an audience of probably vaguely conservative middle class 40 something women giggle at "gay wrestling sex scandal" and then going "DUMB BITCHES!!! FEMINISTS RUIEND WOMEN" is not gonna help your reputation avoid fucking tanking

When one member from the audience asked, they went to commercial when someone on the panel was trying to answer and his response was not heard. The other time, Donahue cut the audience member off and went to someone else without giving the panel a chance to respond. Sounds like McMahon may have paid Donahue to keep certain topics out of the discussion as much as possible.

    All you need to know about Vince McMahon's character on full display on this show over 30 years ago. All his energy on why the victims didnt come forward earlier and trying to find alternative theories on why one of the victims was fired instead of focusing on fixing the issue at hand. Can you imagine how much inappropriate/illegal bahaviour he got away with over his time in the wrestling business? Such a corrupt individual. Hoping he finally faces justice and gets whats coming to him.

Act nervous to make them get comfortable, take a few hits on the chin to make them feel powerful & then once their ego starts to take over, they will begin to make mistakes & then you wait for the shot & take it. Vince McMahon is very smart in terms of psychology.

So people have to understand that corruption extends out to side of wwe all the way to police. The pay offs are made,so no matter how many sex abuses we're reported,nothing was done.
