    Vince McMahon?

    The rapist Donald Trump’s very close friend Vince McMahon?

    The rapist Donald Trump who was also a very close friend of Jeffery Epstein’s?

    The rapist Donald Trump who is also a very close friend of Jim Jordan?

    The rapist Donald Trump who is also a very close friend of Matt Gaetz?

    You don’t think there might be some sort of pattern, do you? I can’t quite tell myself, but I’m thinking maybe?

    The suit, filed in Baltimore County, accuses McMahon and his wife, Linda McMahon, and World Wrestling Entertainment and its parent company, TKO Holdings, of allowing the “open, rampant abuse” of so-called “ring boys” as young as 12 who acted as assistants to ringside announcer Melvin Phillips Jr. in the 1980s and 1990s

      Vince should hang and so should Linda (both for a number of things)

      They knew about it, fired everyone, then rehired them

      But also TKO purchased them much more recently than these events, and the DOJ knew about it after it happened and went after him for steroids instead. It’s stupid bc there’s only a handful of people left who could (rightfully) face anything on this, but I don’t think TKO is one of them? Can someone ELI5 this?

      Behind the Bastards did SIX whole episodes on VKM which is a great listen

    The story came out years ago and involved pat Patterson. Although many people insist it’s just a smear against Patterson to involve him, because he was the first ever openly gay wrestler. I can’t decide what’s true but from the rumors, three people were involved but only two were punished and Patterson was let off, but then again Patterson was important and could have been saved because of his role in the company
