The film festival I run, Octopus Marquee Independent Film Festival, has decided to not consider doing business sponsoring the Royal Rumble. We will not see any adds for Octopus Marquee Independent Film Festival during the show. Octopus Marquee Independent Film Festival does not condone Vince being a dumb fuck trash monster.

Thank you for reading.

Octopus Marquee Independent Film Festival

The Octopus Marquee Independent Film Festival...Made for humans...made by humans...but never ever made of humans (except the actors they are in there but, you know, not mangled up in machinery except that one old projector runner in 1956 but he was really drunk and very skinny.... )."

Not as catchy but it will play!

also when it comes to advertisers.. 

with how much money is made just from media rights, i'd imagine most of the bad news from advertiser pullouts/pauses is if news entities pick it up for stories. WWE is probably making a profit just from their rights payments and the advertisements are a bonus on top.

news stories tend to live or die based on if developments happen, so if advertisers pausing on WWE happens, it could keep the story going

Unfortunately today there are two more rich powerful rapist stories ahead of this one. Trump and Cuomo. It's a real bottleneck up there.

I'll have to list it sometime, or maybe not, but the Trump/McMahon similarities are crazy.  Right down to both guys being preoccupied with physical size, which is wild.

One has a mushroom dick and one probably has acorn balls.

trying to not run directly into the politics redline for this forum, but I think all the Trump legal stories are competing with each other for oxygen

These are painful to read, but I do think ultimately the world will be a better play in the future

Slim Jim is trending around 11th-12th so some perpetually online people not in the wrestling bubble might notice this news because they don't know why Slim Jim is trending

[Casey]

Vince is gone per Deadline.

[TheVileOne]

Vince McMahon must be removed and he must be removed yesterday. WWE and TKO should be acting as this is an existential crisis. He can no longer reasonably serve as an executive of the company at this point.

Which admin is going to have the pleasure of banning Vince and turning his avatar to Johnny Cash?

[Kevin Wilson]

The power of Slim Jim.  (I'm sure it still would have happened and could be unrelated, but losing a major sponsor certainly didn't help)

TKO must have gotten some serious threats of loss of business to act that fast.

[Curt McGirt]

This is where I'm happy guys like Meltzer are still around because this is the kind of dirt I want to hear about.

Nah nah nah,

 

We liked Henry.  Fuck feeling bad for Vince.

[Cobra Commander]

once of Vince's friends is gonna have to deal with a call from Vince at 2am complaining that all the photos in his resignation story have him with that mustache

[Craig H]

And when you leave town tonight, you stay gone, or you be gone.

I can think of $5 billion reasons.

EDIT: I am slow at finding out apparently. Did you know I have 317 platinums now?

Officially, there's no way back for Vince

Unofficially, he could still bind himself to the back of someone's head like Voldemort
