Hey bud if this is more than just an IWC thing always remember you're never alone and it's never as bad as it seems. If you need help dial 988 or text HOME to 741741. Depression already sucks, don't let it swallow you too!

We had a similar show in the US called DC Follies, starring Fred Willard as the bartender at a DC bar frequented by several celebrity puppets, created by Sid & Marty Krofft.

The Wall Street Journal Vince McMahon Thread.

I'm starting to wonder about this too bud. I mean, the "staying in Vince's good graces just in case" excuse is gone. Vince is done. I don't care what he's gotten out of before; he's never faced anything this bad, at this age, while no longer being owner of the company. He's never coming back. So why not condemn him? OK, there's probably a few guys like Taker who legitimately consider Vince a close friend (not to mention the provider of their life of luxury) who feel they "owe it to him" to defend him. But how many people out there aren't willing to condemn him because they're afraid of the receipts on them that he's got? -
FTFY. Hey, he's made one more Gleaming the Cube than most of us...

Kevin Dunn - not quite as bad as we thought? -
Ebert, great as he was, had this weird moralistic streak to him that often informed his horror movie reviews. Like, when I first read I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie, in with all the hilarious reviews of legitimately bad films, there's his 0 star review of The Hitcher. The original, not the remake, mind you. He just goes on about how morally wrong and off it is. I mean, I suppose you could complain about the fridging of the romantic interest, but the way Ebert goes on you'd think he was reviewing Salo or Cannibal Holocaust or fucking Human Centipede ...

They know Mania is in Philly this year, right? Did they forget how the Philly crowd reacted to the Rumble in 2015? -

I mean, if this ends with a grizzled old Billy Jack Haynes shooting Vince at the courthouse while shouting, "Idolator, your soul is required in Hell!" that would be alright by me... -

Well, it's a guy who prides himself on safety above all else against a guy who tries to take every bump as dangerously as possible, so I can see the potential for a style clash... -
Just got my ticket. Thankfully Williamstown is about a half hour drive for me.

I think Helton's first year voting percentage was something like 27%. Meaning Chase Utley looks like he has a solid shot at an eventual election...

This is a really good point, especially considering how closely associated all the insistent terminology in the WWE is with Vince himself. Have your champs talking about belts as much as they possibly can... -

A lot of shit here to process... As far as "who knew what", I'm willing to give a broad pass for now. Because I think we all assumed; you, me, John Cena, and everybody else, that there was a culture of quid pro quo sexual harrassment in WWE. And that's already a horrible thing, but it's also a pervasive thing throughout society, and I think all of us collectively just held our nose walking by and compartmentalized it. And I believe it generally falls under tort law, so it doesn't carry the stigma that a criminal act of rape does, even though it should. But this? This is beyond horrific. This is a man who, upon meeting a young woman whose parents had just passed, his mind immediately went not to any sympathy or empathy, but, "Hey, what a great opportunity to mold my own personal sex slave!" And then proceeded to subject her to rape, gang rape, imprisonment, and coprophilia. You could know full well that Vince was a pervy old man and still not be aware that he was capable of these depths of depravity. The important thing to me is what comes next. There has to be full mea culpas from Vince's long-time defenders. And the sad thing is there won't be from all of them. I mean, guys like The Rock and Cena who have ongoing careers to think about, it would be in their best interest to make a clean break and make it yesterday. But a guy like Taker? I think you could find a torture dungeon full of womens' corpses in Vince's basement and Taker wouldn't badmouth the man. I think we'll have to be done with Taker, but then I think a lot of people started that process anyway when they started to realize that he presided over a disgusting locker room culture for decades, and in particular participated in a gay-bashing sketch that may have ultimately contributed to Chris Kanyon's suicide. But Mark Callaway's got nothing to lose or gain at this point, so he'll probably sit back in his Texas mansion doing his little youtube Mt. Rushmore lists and patting himself on the back for not "betraying his friend". What about Triple H and Steph? It's a weird situation. I definitely think Steph was a victim. I have no doubt Vince was and is capable of incest. He sexualized his daughter from the moment he put her on TV. Rather than coming out about it, I think she played the long game of revenge, hoping to stay in his good graces long enough to take the company over and scrub it clean of him. And I think Triple H came along with her on that ride. Just go back 20 years to the reports of him watching Samoa Joe's tryout with Vince and burying him for being "too indy", then fast forward to Trips booking him like a monster in NXT. Obviously he was playing a role. The problem is this: in playing the role, how many foul acts did the two end up collaborating in? The Ryan Nemeth AMA someone posted is just one example where Triple H had to be Vince's heavy to the locker room regarding sexual harrassment. I mean, if you cozied up to Stalin in order to eventually take him down, and he had you take charge of a few liquidations along the way, how much culpability do you ultimately have? Now obviously the relationship between Vince and his daughter and son-in-law became more contentious in the last few years, but I think there's gonna have to be some significant signs that they were working against Vince behind the scenes to keep them from getting scrubbed along with Vince. And yes, I know a lot of people are worried that Vince will once again Houdini his way through this...but no, I don't think so. He's done. This is Epstein-level shit. It's not his company any more. He's clearly more liability than asset, not to mention he's practically geriatric at this point. They're probably figuring out how to Benoit him out of company history as we speak... -

Put him in charge of talent acquisition too and maybe he can get Bojack and Calvin Tankman on the roster by Mania ... -

What's the O/U on how long before they have him spitting mist? Also, the only real reason for Okada to go WWE is the dream match with Big Match John...
