Based on the allegations against him this seemed inevitable and necessary. Considering the amount of enemies he's made over the years in a way it's very fitting that he's receiving a villain's send-off. Still, as someone who started watching wrestling in the early 1990's it's hard to imagine the wrestling world without him in it.

Pro wrestling probably wouldn't exist in its current form without Vince McMahon but that doesn't absolve him of all the CRAPPY things he's done over the years.

Thank goodness he's gone, finally!

Vince is getting hit for what promoters did for years but it doesn't mean he shouldn't be. Hopefully it will get through you can't just treat women as your personal toys.

I read some of it. Vince is a power mad, demon possessed, narcissistic, troglodyte. Everyone saw how he wrote the trish stratus segments back in the day. It was all there right in front of us. But we were entertained. Power is a vicious, corruptible drug that always always destroys someone when welded in large doses.
Now I'm a follower of Jesus, I didn't like reading this one bit. I only read about the poop threesome. As that was the lead when i Google the incident. So all of my thoughts are based only in that story. It was awful and sad. I kept wondering how did all of them turn off parts of their brains to continue this? How does one let the most evil, the most subservient, the most complicit part of their beings take over. It's freaking nuts. It's tragic on so many levels. I guess we all in some way have let one of these traits off the leash for moments in life. I think that's why it's so revolting when you see it laid out in such a huge way. Man how do you let it get so bad that you would do that to someone or let that happen to you. And worse participate in both at the same time. Very despairing.
Vince will not come back from this one. Although in this day in age evil and the complicit get a lot of airtime. Vince needs comeuppance if not prison time. But in this day and age where powers rule he'll probably get a slap on the wrist and put on the shelf. I guess he just couldn't separate playing the villain from actually being one. Well I got to go take a shower.

I'm prepared to believe anything bad that anybody says about Vinnie. But I suspect he will have a far different version of his arrangement with Janel Grant and I'm willing to listen to it.
Meanwhile he's finally through. And some others may well be through, including the son-in-law and that unnamed UFC guy.

Without Vince wrestling would not have gone the same path but that does not mean it would have been a bad thing or not exist. It had slowly grown and evolved before he came on the scene. The big What IF is if Vince had not created that boom in mid 80s to early 90s would Ted Turner have been interested in getting into the business. If he would have then he might be on the level Vince is now. Of course, there might have been the same kind of scandals but of course I am referring to the level of his company and getting credit for where things are today.

Is WWE going to “scrub” his existence too? You know, out of fear of what might pop up if some little kid Googles “Vince McMahon”
Somewhere, someplace, Chyna is smiling. And deservedly so.

History--both good and bad is to be learned from, not erased. Vince is a classic example.
Meanwhile, in Titan Towners I suspect Bruce and HHH are squirming in their seats. Under TKO, neither has the power they once had. TKO's loyalty is to TKO--and most assuredly not to the IWC and the wrestlers they idolize.
