I'm with Brian the way he left, the delivery of the live announcement by Stephanie, and previous reports makes me very much feel something else is coming out. The company is trying to distance from it as much as possible before the bomb drops.

This is mostly correct. "Harassment" has a million different meanings to a million different people. Quid pro quo sexual harassment is unlawful under Title VII, but is not necessarily a criminal act. What I would be looking for here as a prosecutor is who was paid off and with whose money they were paid off with. With the current allegations, the closest thing to an indictable offense I could reasonably imagine is embezzlement, but based on what I've read that would be a long shot. The next question is what else is in the pipeline and will *that* suggest an indictable offense.

People have known it was worked forever. Bruno Sammartino, Buddy Rogers, Ole Anderson, and those types might make people second guess that since they worked a certain way. I refuse to believe anyone thought Flair was legitimate. He bumped way too much against people like Mike Von Erich and for many others. I didn't "know" wrestling was worked when I was small. I did think Flair was the most obviously fake one I saw when I was even in the 1st grade. He wrestled like a Looney Tunes character or something out of the Three Stooges.

Also McMahon kept kayfabe in 1985. He exposed it was worked in 1989. Though Cornette's point is short-sighted, as typical of insiders. How many wrestling fans were reading daily papers that day like the WSJ, NYT, Boston Globe? It wasn't some big headline when McMahon said it was worked. NWA business had been falling for years by then. What explains why Florida or GCW under Anderson went under? Anderson fired Cornette for booking a dog show birthday party with heels having a cake fight. Something like that. That was in 1981. It's no less or more campy than a silly Smackdown segment. NWA was an illegal cartel and contracting badly by the 80s. Their fall was a "Calm before the Storm" case. Since these NWA promoters became marks for their own product, they never cared to ask themselves why a heel as traveling champion should continue into the mid-80s. As such, they couldn't create new stars.

Triple H doesn't discuss his family background much, but I suspect he's legit aristocracy. Lévesque is a very uncommon surname whose spelling looks Medieval or even Dark.

This whole saga could be a future small omnibus.

Their board is set up in a pretty standard fashion. There usually an exec committee that has some key execs of the company on it who serve primarily to help guide the business strategy aspects. Then the other committees are always full of independent directors (directors who don’t work for the company). A comp committee decides the pay structure for execs. Nomination finds replacement directors. Audit conducts audits of the companies processes and books. And you always fill it with other companies execs. Often times it’s almost like a bragging right to have big names on your board. It’s also fairly common that retired execs serve on a few boards because it’s usually pretty good pay for a light workload. Most boards meet like quarterly. So for a lot of members it’s a 6 figure gif to work like 6 times a year.

17:53 Jim’s reaction to the “lesser known” board member name. 🤣🤣🤣

The aura of the "be the best human you can be" by a guy throughout the years who has supposedly committed certain acts, numerous charges, betrayals of people like his wife, firing people to balance the books after his payouts etc. I reckon aswell, alot more talent sort of said they ain't working for someone like that, or knowing their friends got let go because of literal pay offs, the scandals/rumoured assaults and knew a line has been crossed.

This will hit 1 Million views some day I’m calling it.

Board of director members are elected by the shareholders and are typically high executive members of companies that have to be from unrelated types of business. A CEO of one wrestling promotion cannot be a board of director of another wrestling promotion less there is suspect of conflict of interest or collusion.

The WWE is structured in a way that nearly all the voting stock in the company is in the hands of insiders. The board of directors isn't really independent. But while control of the company is held by a handful people with the voting stock, they still have to follow all the ethical and business rules of a public corportion.

Hobbies? Vinny Mac? He collects Corvettes, remember?

Jim is blissfully unaware of the idiocy and nepotism of corporate America.
