He said absolutely nothing of value. complete waste of time. It was a couple of things including a waste of time. 1. A ratings ploy. I rarely watch SD but tuned in to see what he would say. Fell asleep before the main event. 2. A way for Vince to essentially say "I ain't going nowhere" Together being emphasized shows me he intends to stick it out and not admit his wrongdoings. The guy has no idea of life without wrestling. He doesn't follow sports, media, movies, books. He wouldn't last a month as a retired man and he knows it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are just the overnight numbers, not the finals. Also, they're still the show's best numbers since September. Not of all time anything, but Sept. 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Vince more as a Daniel Plainview from There Will Be Blood, instead of yelling about milkshakes he’d yell about protein shakes, and instead of beating someone to death with a bowling pin he’d beat them with a dumbbell. 3 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Holds Barred In those lonely hours, 2am, nobody is around, Vince just screams at the walls about how the Hollywood elite denied him a well deserved Oscar.

Obviously the top story is Vince McMahon beating Tony Khan to death with a bowling pin. Lots to get in to here. Dave, your thoughts.” ”Well, it’s funny, obviously we don’t know everything yet…ugh…I suspect we’ll know more after the next earnings call, but, ya know, everyone I’m talking to is saying the same thing, which is ya know, it’s not great. I do know for certain Vince saying he drank Tony’s milkshake was straight from Vince and not any of the writers.” 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFistsJustFlips Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I think it's pretty clear Vince is going to skate here. The worst of it (as far as publicity) is over. That CNN piece and all the other mainstream stuff just wanted to make puns about how fake wrestling is, instead of hammer one of the top corporate executives in America for being a sex pest. He's temporarily "stepped down" as CEO & Chairman. But you just know he was in his office all weekend working on the same shit he always did as CEO. I know Gregg has done a great job explaining the hows and whys of the stock market and why this is a big deal to shareholders. But it's all kind of moot. No sponsors seem to care. No business partners seem to care. There's literally been no blow back on that front. The mainstream dropped the ball on holding a sex pest to account, just so they could get their fake wrestling jokes in. It'd literally be like news outlets downplaying Harvey Weinstein allegations to get jokes in about the movies he produces not being real. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
