WWE board opens inquiry into CEO Vince McMahon

Vince McMahon’s $12M ‘Hush Money’ Payments Could Mean Bigger Roles for Triple H and Stephanie McMahon​


WWE CEO Vince McMahon is under fire as more reports surface of the billionaire paying women “hush money” for “nondisclosure agreements to keep secret allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity.” These allegations could finally mean the end of McMahon’s run with the family business he’s been with since 1969. And bigger roles for his daughter, Stephanie McMahon, son-in-law Triple H, and the company’s new rainmaker, Nick Khan, may follow. Vince has been married to Linda McMahon (née Edwards) since 1966. The initial WSJ report on June 15 described a consensual affair with a WWE paralegal and a $3 million payout for her silence about the relationship when she left the company.The allegations in the July 8 article, however, are much more salacious and damning. The story reports that McMahon made a “$7.5 million pact with a former wrestler who alleged that Mr. McMahon coerced her into giving him oral sex and then demoted her and, ultimately, declined to renew her contract in 2005 after she resisted further sexual encounters, according to people familiar with the matter.”

WWE's Vince McMahon announces full retirement amid misconduct investigations​


After spending the last four decades as both the most consistent public face of WWE wrestling, and one of its primary behind-the-scenes architects, Vince McMahon has announced that he’s fully retiring from the company this week. Per Variey, news of the retirement comes not long after McMahon vacated his position as chairman of the company, amid investigations into wide-ranging allegations that he paid millions of dollars to women in order to hide alleged sexual misconduct. He’d previously stayed on in a creative role at WWE, but is now departing in full. The allegations against McMahon (and also into John Laurinaitis, former wrestler and head of talent relations) are currently being investigated by the WWE board. They apparently amount to something on the order of $12 million handed out to women over many years, tied to NDAs that are reportedly connected to sexual relationships with employees, sexual harassment, and other sexual misconduct. These allegations appear to be separate from one levied against McMahon in 1996 by former WWE referee Rita Chatterton, who said that McMahon sexually assaulted her in 1986.

Vince McMahon, for good or bad, changed pro wrestling: Examining his legacy​


Vince McMahon grew up in a trailer park in North Carolina. His genius for marketing got him out of the trailer park and into the penthouse, and though he always seemed a bit ashamed of how he got there, it all plays together to explain how he got to where he did. McMahon, famously, had his on-air talent avoid the words “professional wrestling,” in favor of “sports entertainment,” because “sports entertainment” doesn’t evoke the images of the early 20th century carnies who turned worked athletic wrestling competitions into a thriving business enterprise.Whatever he wants to call it, it’s wrestling, and no matter how desperate McMahon was to get out of the trailer park, the key to understanding the Vince McMahon who turned his father’s Northeast wrestling promotion into a multibillion-dollar entertainment conglomerate is understanding trailer park Vinnie.

VINCE WILL RETURN - MARK MY WORDS.

He overcame Stone Cold, his bitch wife. . . you think #Hashbrown lovin' SJWs and namby pampy allegations of sexual misconduct in the era of Woke will keep the great Vince McMahon down?

Vince is a stud - and a generous one to boot! Not only does this billionaire alpha deliver these lucky women the most intense and arousing experience of their lives, but goes the extra mile and dips into his hard-earned wealth to give them a financial boost because he is that AWESOME.

Sexual misconduct? I call it sexual magnificence.

All will fall before . . .

FORMER WWE OFFICIAL QUESTIONS WHETHER VINCE MCMAHON IS ACTUALLY RETIRED

The news of Vince McMahon's retirement came after it was reported that there were investigations into millions of dollars in hush money payments made by Vince to female employees. The payments were reportedly made in order to silence the women from making accusations about harassment, abuse, and misconduct against Vince McMahon and former Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis. Some have suggested that the former Chairman would still be running the WWE from behind the scenes, but according to several sources, that isn't the case. Although the on-screen WWE product seems to be changing, one person who still believes Vince has a say in what's going on is former WWE referee Mike Chioda.
