Doesn't surprise me about what's being alleged with Stephanie she's probably just as ruthless as Vince the apple doesn't fall far from the tree... And yeah I could see that all the McMahons are DONE and GONE for good, maybe even Shane McMahon as well. The McMahon name is forever tarnished. It's gonna be a brand new era with TKO moving forward.
yea it says that he realizes he has zero power in this situation other than as a witness and vince would bury him if VKM flipped on him so he has to be the first to say OK I'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH YOU JUST GOTTA LISTEN
Well all this is probably been a long time coming. As fans Vince played the role as the villain for so long we all got an accustomed to the character without really questioning what was going on behind closed doors.
Shane seemed to be the one that distanced himself somewhat. What if he rolled on everyone for full immunity? Now that would shake the wrestling world to the core.
Vince is still sitting pretty provided he doesnt go to prison, he is still going to be a rich fat cat. On a moral level he devastated his family and tarnished his legacy, financially speaking homeboy cant be touched.
There’s no way that Jim Ross doesn’t know some of the things Vince was up to considering how long he was employed by WWE. The way he did damage control on his podcast should raise eyebrows IMO
He knows some things for sure But remwmber this, Vince LOVED to bully and mock Jim Ross for decades he never was part of his inner circle with the Dunn's and Laurinaiti's
I think that HHH and Stephanie knew things were happening, it's just a question of how much they knew. They probably did not know everything, and most likely tried to make sure they did NOT know everything, especially Stephanie. HHH seems the type who might keep his ear to the ground a bit more, but keep in mind he was basically just a wrestler for the first 10 years or so of being in the WWE, so it would be a while before he was in any sort of position to do anything about it even if he did know. He wasn't formally in any sort of business position until 2010. Most of the allegations happened before then, with the BIG exception being Janel Grant. So yeah, they probably were both in positions where they knew something was happening, but did not have the details or proof needed. You can argue that they should have cut ties then, but it is hard to do so when it is literal family.
The Cancel Culture Vultures always run their mouths when someone either dies, retires, or has no way of defending themselves. Modern Wrestling & It's Fandom Is full of Wimps, like seriously It took you several decades to Cancel one of the most successful Wrestling Promoters out there?
@travismcdonald6576. Wrestling is not dead you cynical Cornette Crusader. Pull your head and accept that Wrestling is still alive. WWE is dead as far as I am concerned.
She was the voice and face of WWE in corporate circles, so no, she didn’t have a bad reputation. Ironically, Stephanie was a champion of women … just not behind the scenes.
Many feel the whistle blower was Nick Khan especially with the timing of the Netflix deal and The Rock being named to the board a day or two before the Washington Post broke the article about this latest accusation.
Never before have I thought " We need HHH", but right now, I think we need HHH. I really hope he wasn't involved and can remain in his current position, the last thing they need is a suit getting put in charge who " doesn't know wrist lock from a wristwatch ".
Let’s look at some of the allegations. 1) Vince is alleged to have shared photographs of Janel Grant (JG) with the ring and truck crew. 2) Vince shared photos of JG with a referee who then went to jag off and Vince tells her by text she made someone very happy. 3) JG alleges that in the WWE offices she was shunned and treated poorly by other employees. And it does not say other female employees so the assumption is that the shunning was from both men and women she ‘worked with’ at WWE. Now, if the ring and truck crew know about her from Vince himself (probably not all of the salacious details, but still), and a referee gives himself physical pleasure from her photo/s (who knows what kind of thing JG was doing or having done to her in the photo/s), and then other people at WWE HQ were actively keeping away from her, then lets be realistic. There is NO way Stephanie, Nick Khan, HHH, Bruce Prichard, and other higher ups did not know. Absolutely no way. And if Stephanie knows, then HHH, Shane and Linda know, because there is no way she keeps quiet on something of this magnitude. Who would she talk to about this kind of thing/s? A total stranger or her husband, brother and mother? Nick Khan is the President of WWE, #2 behind Vince and is on the TKO board. He knew. He HAD to know. Prichard? Vince’s main yes man? Oh he knew. Dunn knew. Michael Hayes knew. And they may not have done anything with or to JG, but by not helping her with calling the damned law, they are complicit in aiding and abetting Vince in, allegedly, completely ruining JG’s life. And HR at WWE must have been three monkeys doing the see no, hear no, speak no evil routine.
If and I mean IF all these Vince issues come to light that they are true then of course you'll never see Stephanie or Shane again, this will be a huge black cloud that will forever follow them both, I mean where can you go if It's known that your father did all these sicko things whilst you were still working for him, not only has Vince (if true) F'd himself but has done damage to the whole family, the only link the family has now with WWE is HHH, if he goes then all links will be cut between the McMahon family and WWE.
There are two different questions in play. There’s who knew that women were on the payroll for the sole purpose of sleeping with bosses? That answer is probably half the company. The bigger question is who knew that those women were forced, coerced, blackmailed or threatened into being in that position or doing the things that they did. That’s where the circle shrinks. Or so one would think. But Dutch is saying he saw women crying to him over Vince freaking them out.
I just want to know, does anybody on the planet outside of Stephanie McWeinstein's friends and family care to see her back in WWE??? After all the damage she did to the roster's credibility for years, stating that WWE's charity work is just for branding purposes, and rewriting the history of women's wrestling to stroke her own ego, I wouldn't give her a drop of water in the desert.
I know when she took time off in 06 during her first pregnancy and wasn't around Bruce Prichard stepped in to be head of creative temporarily as a good soldier, but once Stephanie returned she thought everything should go back to the way it was but everyone else in creative including Vince said, "I like Bruce better" which led to a really bad situation where certain people wanted Bruce gone and used the time he traveled with his pistol as an excuse to fire to him. Many of those same people are still there behind the scenes. Myself I think she not only saw the writing on the wall but realized every suspicion she's had and worse is all true and just said I don't need to be hear anymore.
@@donovanbradford8231 Good insight. Stephanie did use the pistol as an excuse to get Bruce fired. She was never qualified for her job and the fact that Bruce did it better shows the nepotism.
Kevin Dunn. Bruce. Nick Khan. Linda. Stephanie. Johnny Ace. HHH. General counsel of WWE. All of them know more. Executives aren’t in the dark or helpless. Heck, their admin staff definitely them in on unofficial matters and EAs of c-suite are privy to so much information
I've said this before. The entire McMahon family knew what was going on from the get go. I'd be utterly shocked if Stephanie and Hunter didn't know. However, they are protecting there father of course. But this is all going to backfire on them in the long run. I do see this being tried criminally now more so then ever before. It's all but over for the McMahon family what a helluva legacy to leave on this business. Such a damn shame because of one man's perversion.
they all turn a blind eye , someone like cornette a wrestling obsessed historian acts like the allegations against pat was nonsense , bret hart too called rita a liar ( later apologising ) .. that’s how it is in the world unfortunately.. ppl wanna earn a living and only get mad when they get messed with
It seems Paul will forever be on thin ice in that company, which - given his knowledge of the business & success in his previous upper management roles with the company - is a real shame. He’s one of the last real pro wrestling guys employed there, and when he’s inevitably let go, I sincerely doubt they’ll replace him with someone who has firsthand experience in the business… unless they look to Rock. But given his total lack of experience in that type of role, & considering his position on the board, it would be both a step down for him in the company and his career. So even if he was offered, I don’t think Dwayne would do it anyway. Essentially making Paul the last pro wrestling guy to run what is essentially the last really relevant (sorry if the truth hurts) pro wrestling promotion.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Vince was found dead before he goes to trial. He's brought disgrace on his family, the WWE, and the whole industry.
Saying the talent and employees, that knew all this was going on, were helpless, hopeless against Vince or coming out against him might be the most cowardice thing I've ever heard in my life. Knowing and doing nothing is almost as bad as the one doing it.
There's no way in hell that Stephanie and Triple H didn't have some idea of some of the outrageous things that were going on at Titan Towers in Stamford over the last 10 to 15 years they may not have known anything about what happened 20 or 25 years ago or what took place with the ring boy Scandal and Mel Phillips in the 1980s but you damn sure know that they knew what happened and what was going on with Vince here recently
At some point the people that endeavor that are running the WWE or TKO whatever the parent company is they just need to clean house and everybody that's connected to the mcmahons or is a McMahon needs to be let go
It's impossible to know who knew what and when. I agree that it's probable that everyone who worked in the office were aware of what was going on. The wrestlers were on the road all year long. They probably heard things from the dirt sheets just like us.
I spent 25 years in and around Big Time wrestling and one thing for sure it's run just like Mafia! Everybody knows the dirt does the dirt and keeps their mouth shut! It's what's best for business... when somebody's getting over they love to talk about it... don't be surprised to hear anybody's name pop up even the boys! 🤔💯🚧
Stephanie should have been gone with how she's acted, she was part of the investigation that didn't speak to victims, she knew. Who can ever forget leading the thank you Vince chant on Smackdown after allegations came to light. Side note, Nick Khan has since been named.
Yep. Why do the work themselves when Vince’s home has already been entered by authorities with materials seized and Johnny Ace is probably cooperating with authorities as we speak, to save his own neck?
@@segagenesis7708 what Johnny Ace did is nothing new infact it is normally a sign there is some truth to the aligations when the accused start turning on each other to save them selves.
Apropos of nothing other than it's plaguing my waking hours... every time I see James' book on the Rock in the background, even though I know better, even though it clearly has the work "Rock" on the cover, I stll think "huh! A book about Rampage Jackson!"
Kinda makes me wonder about Shane's motivations for leaving the company and if he knew about some of the shit is dad was up to and didn't want to be around it.
Naval criminal investigative Service -The NCIS was formerly known as the Naval Investigative Service. The name was changed in December 1992 as part of a reorganization that also established a civilian director of the NCIS who reports to the Secretary of the Navy through the General Counsel of the Navy. The NCIS has three primary missions: criminal investigations, counterintelligence, and naval security. In its pursuit of criminal investigations, the NCIS provides investigative support, drug suppression operations, fraud briefings, a cooperating-witness service, and investigative services to afloat commands. Counterintelligence efforts encompass antiterrorism and counterintelligence support, an antiterrorist alert center, a passive listening post, and technical surveillance countermeasures.
Massaro's bad training and Stephanie's interaction with her over it, are the flags even worse for her than the trafficking accuser. Stephanie rightly resigned when Vince Mcmahon returned...and when she says thank you in camera, she clearly thought he was done first resignation. She rightly quits later and so should have Levesque. Levesque now apart of board that let Vince Mcmahon MERGE with TKO. Stephanie bad factor in Massaro poor training....later maybe more.
Whenever some podcast says something will never happen or someone will never appear again, the opposite happens. Never say never in professional wrestling
Am I the only one that actually doesn't like Jim Ross at all?!, to me he was NEVER in the same league as B.Heenan, G.Monsoon, J.Ventura just to name a few, I just felt he was always overhyped and up his arse, I loved it when Billy knocked out his man Dr. Death and messed it all up lol.
JR was Gorilla and The King was Bobby / Ventura / Piper in the commentary. JR was a better spot caller but much LOVE to The Gorilla. Bobby was 100x King as co-colour. Gorilla and Bobby as a unit was better than JR and King.
No one can convince me that Stephanie and/or Triple H, leaked the story to the press to begin with. Vince's activities are the worst kept secret in wrestling.
I don't know why she would come back. Her father embarrassed the family and as he was the face of the company for as long as it's been internationally relevant, her showing up on WWE TV wouldn't have any benefit for her, personally or professionally. She has a family and more money than she knows what to do with. If hubby Paul wants to continue to run WWE, fine, though I don't see any net benefit for him there either. In terms of PR, whether he knew or not (how could he not?), being the son in law isn't a good look for the company optically. If that entire family isn't seen or heard from again in WWE at some point in the near future, it wouldn't surprise me. My guess is that the new parent company will want to purge a lot of that association from the company moving forward. They probably like the work Paul has done, but as time goes along, people are far less tolerant of violence and SA towards women. If you're even associated with people like that, the stench is on you, for better or worse.
I do think there is that question about Triple H but when looking at the company as a whole Vince is gone, Johnny Ace is gone, Kevin Dunn is gone, Brock Lesnar is gone to me the biggest landmines are out of the company more than likely never to return unless the FS1 deal for a billion, the Peacock deal of a billion, the Netflix deal of several billion was done by one of those 4 names the pros don't outweigh the cons. So whether Triple H knew about any of this stuff over the years I don't see him leaving unless it's health related.
Have been rewatching Mid-South Wrestling lately. While watching this video, I'm also watching a match from the 10/5/1985 episode of Mid-South Wrestling that has Dirty Dutch and Superstar Bill Dundee vs The Fantastics. And Dutch's bullwhip is on a pole. Has nothing to do with nothing. Just found it interesting. And in watching this match, I also learned how low the ceiling was over the ring at the Irish McNeil Boy's Club.
I saw that match you are talking about. The Fantastics against Dirty Dutch Mantell and Superstar Bill Dundee were always good to watch. I will always like how Shoo-Baby would get involved in the match.
@@MADGUNSMONSTER To be fair, she and Triple H probably screwed over Chyna too. But if people can ONLY think of 2 people she screwed over, than that still easily makes her a hell of a lot better than the other McMahons
How in the world can all the insiders deny that they knew anything? Jim Ross knew,a lot of the wrestlers had to know,the office staff knew. They chose to do nothing bc theyvwere all making good money,plus,wrestling fans like this type of entertainment.
What's shocking is how shocked everyone is acting 🙄look at all the past sex skits WWE has done over the years especially the stupid over the hill ones the ideas came from one person and everyone played along not questioning anything but now want to talk shit .. . hypocrisy at it's best all these people knew and said nothing WTF
Well, Stephanie probably took offense to Ashley turning down her Father's advances. Furthermore, I bet she was setup to be done that way. WRESTLING HAS AN EXTERME DARKSIDE.
"I can't afford paying $1000/month for healthcare for the wrestlers". Vince McMahon late last year paid back 17.4 million to pay for the investigation on him and 12 million to 4 women to pay hush money to them. hmm
Stephanie has always been so proud to be a McMahon and daddy's little girl so she definitely knew about a lot of things Vince was doing. She should be brought in for questioning
TKO is trying to purge the McMahon name from the company due to the stigma of being associated with Vince McMahon. Plus the McMahons got a nice payoff from the sale of the company to TKO. No reason to keep playing the game after you have won. TKO will probably bring in Hulk Hogan to be the wrestling face of the company.
Whelp this didn’t age well. I guess making an appearance isn’t the same as coming back to work, but she was front and center a few times this weekend. Even got a new remixed entrance music.
Man that sucks. I was hoping her and Shane would be the good guys but then I think back and... Yeah. Maybe Tony would give them a job. Either way I'll still probably have a crush on her forever but if their karma came so be it. 😊
Tony Khan? The McMahons dont need money lol they have ripped off everyone from peacock to tko to now Netflix. The wwe isnt worth what they sold it for.
I'm just going to wait and see if anything ever happens are comments really don't matter a whole lot. And now even Dutch is involved whether he likes it or not
This is one of the best news ever but Triple H have to be gone as well. And then the whole family except Shane should be put behind bars for the induced suicide and trafficking case of Ashley Massaro.
@@Coco-xw3wp just saying. Shane knew. Shane is not so innocent. He's never not been in the loop. Maybe gets information after, but he knows everything.
The McMahons are done. Imagine if they did come back… the fan signs in the crowd. Vince’s head with 💩 emojis all around it. Stephanie with dark shades on holding a blind man’s walking stick 😂
Bro every job is like just like high School everyone gossip and I mean everyone even the shy girl gossip. So I 100% believe everyone might have not known but they at least heard.
Here's the thing they needed a "wrestling personality" if you will who knows this business. And has the business acumen to carry the come forward. Hence, why The Rock came into the fray. With all these top wrestling individuals out of the company they were desperate and honestly had no other choice. At least that's the way i see it. I don't see Hunter going anywhere but then again i could be wrong. Especially if the feds deem him having any responsibility in all of this whether directly or indirectly.
@@SteveEazyngl I'd much rather have hunter in charge than rock. Hunter's grasp on storytelling and in ring psychology is top tier. Rock is still a good add on tho
The whole McMahon family is in this up to their eyeballs. They should all pay with prison terms and financially according to each of their involvement.
Prison for what? Is he a scumbag? Yes. According to the text messages that woman was consenting to all those sex acts. She didn’t get mad till they reneged on the payoff of 3 million. So as the corporations face he is terrible and liable for unknown civil penalties. As far as a criminal case that will be a stretch. It’s not sex trafficking if the persons consenting to the sex acts. Which it seems she was. It looks like a case of she got dogged out and promised a payoff, but they stiffed her. So she went public with what happened. So in the court of personal perception. He’s finished. I don’t see a criminal case going forward though.
wouldnt be suprised if they charge stephanie with a coverup a crime.. but she will never be allowed back in to wwe since its not own by mcmahon anymore
The people that knew were those who had very personal relationships with Vince Batman employed from the start Patterson Bruce Prichard Kevin Dunn however I don't think family members are those that were in management positions that were not very personal friends would have known and even if people were talking they wouldn't be talking Winn management around and Management's not going to talk when family is around
Doesn't surprise me about what's being alleged with Stephanie she's probably just as ruthless as Vince the apple doesn't fall far from the tree... And yeah I could see that all the McMahons are DONE and GONE for good, maybe even Shane McMahon as well. The McMahon name is forever tarnished. It's gonna be a brand new era with TKO moving forward.
Laurinaitis flipping on Vince as fast as he did speaks volumes.
Urineitis is a weasel who would back stab anyone of it would benefit him.
Not really, dude has been more known to be a Snake than even Vince. By most accounts he'd sell his own mother up the river to save his own skin.
The lawyer advised him in his best interest.
Poor Laurinaitis is a victim. He had to piss and shit all over those women. If he hadn’t who knows what Vince would have done to him.

"All about control and if you can take it"
Don’t forget! She will start an onlyfans.
All because Vince was too cheap to pay the woman her agreed money
he's dont this before. Promising to purchase territories and he just stops paying.
Well all this is probably been a long time coming.
As fans Vince played the role as the villain for so long we all got an accustomed to the character without really questioning what was going on behind closed doors.
Right! He's a billionaire and refused to pay $2 million more. Ruined his whole family and legacy over the equivalent of maybe $20.
Vince just sold part of his shares of TKO for a total of 412 million. He still managed to make money off of the situation.@@LarryLadale

There are two different questions in play. There’s who knew that women were on the payroll for the sole purpose of sleeping with bosses? That answer is probably half the company.

Myself I think she not only saw the writing on the wall but realized every suspicion she's had and worse is all true and just said I don't need to be hear anymore.
@@donovanbradford8231 Good insight. Stephanie did use the pistol as an excuse to get Bruce fired. She was never qualified for her job and the fact that Bruce did it better shows the nepotism.
Stephanie McMahon looks good in a silk robe 👘🙌
Calm down puppy.

She'd look better without it.....

NCIS= Naval Criminal Investigative Service; Navy Police, basically. Covers Air Force as well.
True but Air Force has OSI. Office of Special Investigations.
Ncis also covers the marines.
Marine Corps too.
@@nonyabusiness9192 Tha Marines are a department of the Navy; the men's department 😆👌
@@Amos_Huclkeberryyes Navy is the men department. We have to keep them jarheads in check
Kevin Dunn. Bruce. Nick Khan. Linda. Stephanie. Johnny Ace. HHH. General counsel of WWE. All of them know more. Executives aren’t in the dark or helpless. Heck, their admin staff definitely them in on unofficial matters and EAs of c-suite are privy to so much information
About Shane McMahon 9:42
I've said this before. The entire McMahon family knew what was going on from the get go. I'd be utterly shocked if Stephanie and Hunter didn't know. However, they are protecting there father of course. But this is all going to backfire on them in the long run. I do see this being tried criminally now more so then ever before. It's all but over for the McMahon family what a helluva legacy to leave on this business. Such a damn shame because of one man's perversion.
Not only they knew about it, Triple H and his husband Steph handle all the legal issues. They got around 30 advocates on the affairs of WWE.
they all turn a blind eye , someone like cornette a wrestling obsessed historian acts like the allegations against pat was nonsense , bret hart too called rita a liar ( later apologising ) .. that’s how it is in the world unfortunately.. ppl wanna earn a living and only get mad when they get messed with
The allegations against the late great Pat Patterson are total bullcrap. I’m with Cornette on that one.
What about Shane? I've not seen anyone bring him up, at all.....
He and Vince had several fallings out. Even his last run was just as talent. I wouldn't be surprised if he and Vince haven't talked in a long time.
He left the company multiple times because of his dad. I'm sure he's happy all of this has finally come out
@@jesuszamora6949 He was at Wrestlemania just last year set to take on Miz but he MacMahoned his quads, so it's not been THAT long.
@@jordanfletcher3726 Doesn't mean he wasn't aware of what was happening. Maybe he is, or maybe he's dreading it
I think maybe Shane had more of a conscious than his other family members and got the hell out of Dodge
Maybe Stephanie McMahon is likely to never appear at WWE events again, but Stephanie Levesque may make an occasional appearance...
Triple H outlasted them all
Yeah, that's a good shout, actually. Not only would be a soft road back into the company, but it would be a symbolic shedding of the McMahon label.
@@heshamhany8470because he did nothing wrong
@@TheSophisticatedSavageb.s if his wife knew he definitely knew stop it.
Imagine if Triple H announces: Stephanie McMahon will not be returning…… but Stephanie Levesque is!
It seems Paul will forever be on thin ice in that company, which - given his knowledge of the business & success in his previous upper management roles with the company - is a real shame. He’s one of the last real pro wrestling guys employed there, and when he’s inevitably let go, I sincerely doubt they’ll replace him with someone who has firsthand experience in the business… unless they look to Rock. But given his total lack of experience in that type of role, & considering his position on the board, it would be both a step down for him in the company and his career. So even if he was offered, I don’t think Dwayne would do it anyway. Essentially making Paul the last pro wrestling guy to run what is essentially the last really relevant (sorry if the truth hurts) pro wrestling promotion.
What about Shawn Michaels??
I believe that report too
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Vince was found dead before he goes to trial. He's brought disgrace on his family, the WWE, and the whole industry.
She just has
Saying the talent and employees, that knew all this was going on, were helpless, hopeless against Vince or coming out against him might be the most cowardice thing I've ever heard in my life. Knowing and doing nothing is almost as bad as the one doing it.
There's no way in hell that Stephanie and Triple H didn't have some idea of some of the outrageous things that were going on at Titan Towers in Stamford over the last 10 to 15 years they may not have known anything about what happened 20 or 25 years ago or what took place with the ring boy Scandal and Mel Phillips in the 1980s but you damn sure know that they knew what happened and what was going on with Vince here recently
At some point the people that endeavor that are running the WWE or TKO whatever the parent company is they just need to clean house and everybody that's connected to the mcmahons or is a McMahon needs to be let go
What about HBK?
You think Vinces boytoy knew?
Agreed, which makes me think Vince promoted Paul because he was the real enforcer, not Taker as people have suggested.
It's impossible to know who knew what and when. I agree that it's probable that everyone who worked in the office were aware of what was going on. The wrestlers were on the road all year long. They probably heard things from the dirt sheets just like us.
Cite your sources.
Considering Steph's reported wealth of $250m there's no reason for her to return anyway.
I spent 25 years in and around Big Time wrestling and one thing for sure it's run just like Mafia! Everybody knows the dirt does the dirt and keeps their mouth shut! It's what's best for business... when somebody's getting over they love to talk about it... don't be surprised to hear anybody's name pop up even the boys! 🤔💯🚧
Stephanie should have been gone with how she's acted, she was part of the investigation that didn't speak to victims, she knew. Who can ever forget leading the thank you Vince chant on Smackdown after allegations came to light. Side note, Nick Khan has since been named.
GUESS WHO I JUST SAW
Man this is very serious. I believe she knows what was going on about Vince and she is allegedly protecting her father.
All we have is a pack of lambs thinking they are superb detectives making accusations without any details.
TKO is gonna do the right thing and let the Macs stew in their own toil and come out looking good for cleaning up the mess.
Yep. Why do the work themselves when Vince’s home has already been entered by authorities with materials seized and Johnny Ace is probably cooperating with authorities as we speak, to save his own neck?
@@segagenesis7708Publicly traded company and they benefit from merger that attempted to skirt SEC regulations, ultimately. Optics.
@@segagenesis7708 what Johnny Ace did is nothing new infact it is normally a sign there is some truth to the aligations when the accused start turning on each other to save them selves.
@@anthonymacgregor9790 That’s what my implication was.
@@segagenesis7708 ah ok my bad for misunderstanding
Apropos of nothing other than it's plaguing my waking hours... every time I see James' book on the Rock in the background, even though I know better, even though it clearly has the work "Rock" on the cover, I stll think "huh! A book about Rampage Jackson!"
Kinda makes me wonder about Shane's motivations for leaving the company and if he knew about some of the shit is dad was up to and didn't want to be around it.
Shane always came across as a straight up dude. I believe whole heartily Shane may LOVE his dad but he don't LIKE his dad
I was fucking hated evil Stephanie. The whole seed is toxic.
Naval criminal investigative services
TY
national criminal investigative services 🤫
Naval criminal investigative Service -The NCIS was formerly known as the Naval Investigative Service. The name was changed in December 1992 as part of a reorganization that also established a civilian director of the NCIS who reports to the Secretary of the Navy through the General Counsel of the Navy. The NCIS has three primary missions: criminal investigations, counterintelligence, and naval security. In its pursuit of criminal investigations, the NCIS provides investigative support, drug suppression operations, fraud briefings, a cooperating-witness service, and investigative services to afloat commands. Counterintelligence efforts encompass antiterrorism and counterintelligence support, an antiterrorist alert center, a passive listening post, and technical surveillance countermeasures.
It’s crazy to think about how fast wwe changed hands, one day it was a McMahon company now it’s a company that’s controlled by another one
Glad ppl are Finally waking up and realizing that Linda and Stephanie are just as guilty and as bad as Vince!
Massaro's bad training and Stephanie's interaction with her over it, are the flags even worse for her than the trafficking accuser. Stephanie rightly resigned when Vince Mcmahon returned...and when she says thank you in camera, she clearly thought he was done first resignation. She rightly quits later and so should have Levesque. Levesque now apart of board that let Vince Mcmahon MERGE with TKO. Stephanie bad factor in Massaro poor training....later maybe more.
00:50 NCIS stands for Navy Criminal Investigation Service. Like the TV show NCIS.
Whenever some podcast says something will never happen or someone will never appear again, the opposite happens. Never say never in professional wrestling
Well well well...
This whole debacle is better than any mystery novel
Am I the only one that actually doesn't like Jim Ross at all?!, to me he was NEVER in the same league as B.Heenan, G.Monsoon, J.Ventura just to name a few, I just felt he was always overhyped and up his arse, I loved it when Billy knocked out his man Dr. Death and messed it all up lol.
you seemj to be only one JR was even voted to be above B.Heenan, G.Monsoon, J.Ventura
JR was Gorilla and The King was Bobby / Ventura / Piper in the commentary.
JR was a better spot caller but much LOVE to The Gorilla.
Bobby was 100x King as co-colour.
Gorilla and Bobby as a unit was better than JR and King.
@@ShikageBlackthorne Yep guess It's me but I honestly didn't like him, he wasn't all that imo.
What will this do to Stephanie’s HOF induction? She is a former champion after all
No wonder Triple H is a workaholic, I'd never want to go home if Stephanie McMahon was waiting for me
No one can convince me that Stephanie and/or Triple H, leaked the story to the press to begin with. Vince's activities are the worst kept secret in wrestling.
I don't know why she would come back. Her father embarrassed the family and as he was the face of the company for as long as it's been internationally relevant, her showing up on WWE TV wouldn't have any benefit for her, personally or professionally. She has a family and more money than she knows what to do with. If hubby Paul wants to continue to run WWE, fine, though I don't see any net benefit for him there either. In terms of PR, whether he knew or not (how could he not?), being the son in law isn't a good look for the company optically. If that entire family isn't seen or heard from again in WWE at some point in the near future, it wouldn't surprise me. My guess is that the new parent company will want to purge a lot of that association from the company moving forward. They probably like the work Paul has done, but as time goes along, people are far less tolerant of violence and SA towards women. If you're even associated with people like that, the stench is on you, for better or worse.
I do think there is that question about Triple H but when looking at the company as a whole Vince is gone, Johnny Ace is gone, Kevin Dunn is gone, Brock Lesnar is gone to me the biggest landmines are out of the company more than likely never to return unless the FS1 deal for a billion, the Peacock deal of a billion, the Netflix deal of several billion was done by one of those 4 names the pros don't outweigh the cons. So whether Triple H knew about any of this stuff over the years I don't see him leaving unless it's health related.
Have been rewatching Mid-South Wrestling lately. While watching this video, I'm also watching a match from the 10/5/1985 episode of Mid-South Wrestling that has Dirty Dutch and Superstar Bill Dundee vs The Fantastics. And Dutch's bullwhip is on a pole. Has nothing to do with nothing. Just found it interesting. And in watching this match, I also learned how low the ceiling was over the ring at the Irish McNeil Boy's Club.
I saw that match you are talking about. The Fantastics against Dirty Dutch Mantell and Superstar Bill Dundee were always good to watch. I will always like how Shoo-Baby would get involved in the match.
You were saying?
Like wrestlers and dirty dutch saysv"never say never" in the wrestling business!🤷
It doesn't matter so much 'when' Stephanie knew. All that matters is STEPHANIE KNEW. 👍
00:51 NCIS stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Does it stand for something else too?
Good riddance never was a fan of Stephanie
Why not? From all the stories she’s the only McMahon that people backstage actually liked
@@juansanchez209 Pretty much. The only person she screwed over was Test.
@@MADGUNSMONSTER To be fair, she and Triple H probably screwed over Chyna too. But if people can ONLY think of 2 people she screwed over, than that still easily makes her a hell of a lot better than the other McMahons
@@juansanchez209people liked Shane too
@@MADGUNSMONSTER Test isn't the only one she screwed over, she also screwed over Ashley as well.
She knew and just didn't care.
How in the world can all the insiders deny that they knew anything? Jim Ross knew,a lot of the wrestlers had to know,the office staff knew.
They chose to do nothing bc theyvwere all making good money,plus,wrestling fans like this type of entertainment.
Stephanie the leader of the women's revolution 🤣
Damn wwe really is a cult
What's shocking is how shocked everyone is acting 🙄look at all the past sex skits WWE has done over the years especially the stupid over the hill ones the ideas came from one person and everyone played along not questioning anything but now want to talk shit .. . hypocrisy at it's best all these people knew and said nothing WTF
so what, it is acting - entertainment is supposed to push the envelope and sex sells always has, always will.
Well, Stephanie probably took offense to Ashley turning down her Father's advances. Furthermore, I bet she was setup to be done that way. WRESTLING HAS AN EXTERME DARKSIDE.
This case smells like a big cover up where she was set up for that to be done to her as part of a back door business deal.
"I can't afford paying $1000/month for healthcare for the wrestlers". Vince McMahon late last year paid back 17.4 million to pay for the investigation on him and 12 million to 4 women to pay hush money to them. hmm
Triple H should have buried this as well. He buries them all....
Even you Dutch know better. I agree with Jake Roberts and I suggest you and everyone else watch what he has to say
Stephanie has always been so proud to be a McMahon and daddy's little girl so she definitely knew about a lot of things Vince was doing. She should be brought in for questioning
@@TheStupidDetectiv what?
Wasn't it Stephanie McMahon who told Mickie James she was "too fat" to be in the Divas bikini calendar?
She always knew. She did all the dei crap to help shield Vince and the company. Hhh probably also
TKO is trying to purge the McMahon name from the company due to the stigma of being associated with Vince McMahon. Plus the McMahons got a nice payoff from the sale of the company to TKO. No reason to keep playing the game after you have won. TKO will probably bring in Hulk Hogan to be the wrestling face of the company.
Oh yeah cause Hulk Hogan has clean name lol
@@L1am21 Yeah, bring Hogan in...he's clean. That's such a retarded take, it's unreal.
@@L1am21 The best known name in pro wrestling. Hogan is a much better brand than McMahon.
@@PassivePortfolios but most people know his racist
Chris Benoit, this would be his chance to be a wwe hall of famer. Nick Khan will allow it.
There’s a reason I wanted more information from inside. All these “fans” reactions was nothing to me.
Whelp this didn’t age well.
I guess making an appearance isn’t the same as coming back to work, but she was front and center a few times this weekend.
Even got a new remixed entrance music.
Which is probably the smartest thing Bruce has ever said
Man that sucks. I was hoping her and Shane would be the good guys but then I think back and... Yeah. Maybe Tony would give them a job. Either way I'll still probably have a crush on her forever but if their karma came so be it. 😊
Tony Khan? The McMahons dont need money lol they have ripped off everyone from peacock to tko to now Netflix. The wwe isnt worth what they sold it for.
Tony has his own issues with Jericho. And that will all come to light in time. Which is unfortunate.
James Romero, He’s the Son Of Legendary Actor. The Most Talented Actor From (Goorbistan) Anasandio Romero.
I'm just going to wait and see if anything ever happens are comments really don't matter a whole lot. And now even Dutch is involved whether he likes it or not
This is one of the best news ever but Triple H have to be gone as well. And then the whole family except Shane should be put behind bars for the induced suicide and trafficking case of Ashley Massaro.
Shane O'mac knew
HHH is Staying
@@BuddyRose-kt1nuWHAT HAPPENED??
@@Coco-xw3wp just saying. Shane knew. Shane is not so innocent. He's never not been in the loop.
Maybe gets information after, but he knows everything.
The McMahons are done. Imagine if they did come back… the fan signs in the crowd. Vince’s head with 💩 emojis all around it. Stephanie with dark shades on holding a blind man’s walking stick 😂
Bro every job is like just like high School everyone gossip and I mean everyone even the shy girl gossip. So I 100% believe everyone might have not known but they at least heard.
So ownership/management telling employees to do counter productive/nonsensical shit at the workplace????!!! Imagine my fuckin shock.
Here's the thing they needed a "wrestling personality" if you will who knows this business. And has the business acumen to carry the come forward. Hence, why The Rock came into the fray. With all these top wrestling individuals out of the company they were desperate and honestly had no other choice. At least that's the way i see it. I don't see Hunter going anywhere but then again i could be wrong. Especially if the feds deem him having any responsibility in all of this whether directly or indirectly.
I dont think Vince has even broken the law.
Yea with the rock coming in I can see Hunter gone.maybe couple years
@@SteveEazyngl I'd much rather have hunter in charge than rock. Hunter's grasp on storytelling and in ring psychology is top tier. Rock is still a good add on tho
I miss Stephanie's original face. The one that moved.
Botox 😂
2000-2001 was when I fell in love with Stephanie, then she came back with "enhancements" I believe around 2002-3 and I fell in love again xD
Where does Linda stand in all this?
A good man who let's bad things happen.......
The whole McMahon family is in this up to their eyeballs. They should all pay with prison terms and financially according to each of their involvement.
I think you should get prison too
Let's find a guilty verdict proven by fact before we get all high and mighty.
Prison for what? Is he a scumbag? Yes. According to the text messages that woman was consenting to all those sex acts. She didn’t get mad till they reneged on the payoff of 3 million. So as the corporations face he is terrible and liable for unknown civil penalties. As far as a criminal case that will be a stretch. It’s not sex trafficking if the persons consenting to the sex acts. Which it seems she was. It looks like a case of she got dogged out and promised a payoff, but they stiffed her. So she went public with what happened. So in the court of personal perception. He’s finished. I don’t see a criminal case going forward though.
Dudes microphone is bad. Not dutch the other guy. He needs to get his sound locked in better.
wouldnt be suprised if they charge stephanie with a coverup a crime.. but she will never be allowed back in to wwe since its not own by mcmahon anymore
Nolo contendere is a form of a guilty plea. It does mean I don’t contest the charges against me.
The apple doesn't fall far from tree
The people that knew were those who had very personal relationships with Vince Batman employed from the start Patterson Bruce Prichard Kevin Dunn however I don't think family members are those that were in management positions that were not very personal friends would have known and even if people were talking they wouldn't be talking Winn management around and Management's not going to talk when family is around
Stephanie Levesque will be back. You’re a MARK if you think otherwise
