WWE After the Vince McMahon Era

Bring Shane back!!! It's AEW's time to shine. Cody Rhodes is, in one way or another, the future of wrestling.

This should've happened more than a decade ago. Bottom line: if he weren't so wealthy he'd likely have been in prison long ago with no parole. I won't post non-public payout details because it could identify a current employee. He and Jeffrey Epstein were reportedly close and spent time together often.

Do you have any proof for what you just posted? Any newspaper pieces, magazine articles, or online links to back it up?

If Tony Khan avoids WCW's mistakes, the sky's the limit for him — 100%.

I said non-public — I have a friend who works at WWE, and if I gave specifics it might reveal them. He left because the sexual harassment payouts that surfaced were only the beginning; he feared worse stuff would leak out. Essentially he had to step down or face greater embarrassment. Some say his daughter and Triple H forced him out.

What does any of that have to do with Jeffrey Epstein? Why even bring up that piece of shit? This thread is about WWE after Vince — it's a wrestling topic, not conspiracy garbage. If you can't prove it, leave it alone. You're just rambling nonsense.

Woah — he's just explaining how he knows this, that's all.

He's 100% full of hot air, just trolling Vince. lmfao. TriTop is spewing water-cooler rumors without actually answering "Where does the company go from here?" And somehow Jeffrey Epstein got dragged into this — still trying to figure that out. My question wasn't to bash Vince McMahon.

I was just sharing why he stepped down — it's all over the news. He settled numerous sexual harassment claims that pushed him out. I can't say for sure it was because of his daughter and Triple H, but they are in control now. Quick Google searches turn up things like: Vince McMahon paid out $12 million to four women over 16 years; agreed to pay an ex-WWE employee $3M after an alleged affair; "Vince McMahon retires as WWE CEO amid sexual harassment scandal"; reports about him leaving while worth around $3.4 billion; and headlines saying his retirement was 'hastened' by an SEC probe. Those were just quick 10-second searches — where there's smoke there's fire. If you're a Vince fan that's your choice, but you asked about him resigning and I was filling in details you left out. There are many more articles covering separate cases and that's just the tip of the iceberg. He made enough money to bury a lot of it, but if more juicy stuff comes out WWE could be ruined. Since you like wrestling so much I can try to contact someone I know who might be able to get you backstage passes and tickets to a show near you.

With Vince gone the company has a better shot at surviving. If he had stayed the whole WWE could've been in serious trouble. I'm not blaming the wrestlers so much as those in Vince's inner circle. From here they need to run a cleaner operation and put as much distance between themselves and Vince as possible.

Appreciate the input. I can tell you're kind of a closet wrestling fan. But honestly, the wrestling industry has been gross and immoral for decades — that's why shows like Dark Side of the Ring and A&E's Biography blew up during the pandemic. Everyone in wrestling had major issues back in the day (which is why they became wrestlers and not PE teachers).
