It's not virtue signaling to say it's wrong for someone to pay off somebody while cheating on their wife. And yet you continue to willingly put money in that person's wallet. If you think he's such a bad person, why do you continue to support him? That's what all of capitalism boils down to really. We vote with every dollar we spend for what succeeds. Can it be more complex than that? Of course it can, but at its very core it's quite simple. Don't approve of something? Don't support it with $. |

Seems to me that it boils down to Vince not wanting people to know he slept with an employee.
I donβt really see a huge moral implication with this specific case. Itβs sort of a bad kept secret that Vince and Linda havenβt been together for awhile even though they are still technically married. This was a recent event, Iβve heard it happened around April 2021. Itβs certainly messy but I donβt really care that a billionaire has sex and pays a woman. I could name 10 other way worse things WWE has done as a company just since the pandemic started. I think the story is a really wild one but, I donβt knowβ¦Iβm not really disgusted or anything over it. I get the interest that the board and shareholders would have but it is really *that* bad??
Iβll await more details and assess my judgement then but the fallout is what interests me a ton, not so much the crime.

Iβm so confused by this whole thing. Vince owns WWE but is under investigation the WWE Board. As WWE CEO doesnβt he technically run the WWE board? If heβs found guilty whatβs the worst that happens besides him looking bad. Also, how does Nick Khan play into all of this? Very confused by it all. If anyone could explain I would appreciate it WWE is a publicly traded company which means a lot of his shareholders are complete strangers to him. As Chairman, he is head of that board, but as CEO he is their employee. CEOs are often not owners of the business but WWE has always had whoever is the Chairperson be the CEO as well (like Linda when she was CEO/Chairwoman until 2009). |

Wish there was a photo. I found the same profile as well. β¦why? Just curious to know what she looked liked if she was a solid 10 then this bs is worth it but if sheβs a 5 Iβd be pissed too. |

I think itβs more a matter of where the hush money came from than him actually doing it This. From my understanding of this report it was just two people who had an affair and he paid her for her silence. (Unless there was more that I didnβt hear) But as I understand it with what I read as of now is if he didnβt use company money it wouldnβt even be a story. But because heβs accused/investigated of using company money to pay her off thatβs where it could be a crime. |

Who would have thought that a measly three million could bring down a billionaire?

Fun fact, Vince McMahon paid this woman more for sex than he did for WCW, and Tony Khan paid 13x more to purchase Ring of Honor.
And now you know

I think itβs also interesting that this wasnβt apparently the first time this has happened with former female employees. I wonder who else heβs paid in the past. All I know is that woman better be worth the 3 million dollars.

Still more than WCW was. |

Where did you see $10? There literally isnβt a site out there that doesnβt have the number between $30-$40 million. Cbr, business insider, deadspin, F4W, Stephen Aeyy, Konnan, Mike Johnson, literally none have it for less than that number? |

Cbr, business insider, deadspin, F4W, Stephen Aeyy, Konnan, Mike Johnson, literally none have it for less than that number? I think I was on the Meltzer forums, but it was an estimated number based on the Sinclair financials and Conrad interviewing Schiavone and saying he wasn't allowed to say the number but it was a fraction of what was being reported. I looked through the financials too and it made sense for it to be in the 10-15 range. All the sites saying $30/40 literally just copied the same number that they all made up. None of it was ever based on anything but an old rumored sale price from before Tony bought it. A lot of those sites work that way these days. One person starts a rumor and the other sites just all parrot it. Remember when Sasha and Bayley were loudly complaining on the floor? That story made it everywhere. |

I like ROH and all but itβs not worth $10 million, and itβs damn sure not worth $40 million. The big thing lately has been owning content rights for streaming services. These big companies with streaming platforms have been buying up content for insane money lately. The thing about the WCW deal in 2001 is that no one saw value in having a vast tape library yet. They thought maybe they'd make some good money on owning the footage for some DVD releases, but never imagined what its turned into today. ROH has a really incredible archive of footage. They have thousands of hours of PPVs and recorded house shows and television episodes. And a lot of it features the rookie years of some of the biggest stars in wrestling -- the early days of CM Punk, Adam Cole, Bryan Danielson, Seth Rollins, etc etc etc. I don't know what media deals look like at all but that might not be such a crazy price considering the ways that collecting content has become so lucrative for a lot of businesses. |
