Pro Wrasslin' Thread: I don't know what I just saw

[bork]

I had some spare psn credit so out it to buying the mark edition of WWE2K22

Turns out it's pretty fun, by far the best it's been since under 2k and maybe the best since here comes the pain(so far)

I'm anxious to hear more. When the Yuke's to 2K transition really happened, apparently it was remarkably buggy. I'm hoping it recovers and does well. Fans deserve a good game.

Last I saw, WWE started talking to EA about developing their games.  This year's game is the last one they have on their contract with 2K.

WWE Backstage Assault pls

Triple H has retired, which robs us of seeing what would have been one of the most self indulgent matches of all time v Cody Rhodes

We still may get Sugar Shane vs. Seth Rollins.

Wrestlemania is two days again. I guess I'm interested in some of the matches. Oh, and I'd like to see Asuka do something, even if she's not wrestling.

It has appointed McMahon’s daughter Stephanie to serve as interim CEO and interim chairwoman, WWE also said on Friday.

So that's-

-Stephanie leaves her position as chief brand officer "to spend time with family"
-Vince is alleged to have had an affair with a younger former employee and possibly used company funds to pay her hush money
-Vince allegedly "pawned her off" to John Laurinaitis
-Kevin Dunn is rumored to have been doing insider trading with WWE stock
-Vince steps down as CEO temporarily and is replaced by Stephanie

This is the best WWE storyline in years.   

I bet nothing ends up happening to Vince, but Laurinaitis will be gone.

I'm surprised Big Johnny is still there tbh, but as long as nothing sexually harassmenty about Vince comes out, it turns out he didn't use company cash to pay his hoes off and the story doesn't go past "sleazy man in sleazy behaviour shocker", I think Vince will take back over in 6 months or so when theres only Bix left who cares about the story.

Hopefully that ugly bitch Kevin Dunn eats shit

Vince is gonna be on smack down tonight, probably starting the Vince is homeless angle

Hopefully this all results in some unhinged TV.

I think a concern was Vince gave the woman a sizable raise during their affair. So the board might take exception to that.

Listened to the wrestling news on youtube. It's alleged Vince had multiple payoffs/NDAs etc., for this stuff.

As long as he paid them off out of his own pocket though he should be ok and I can't see the board giving him more than a slap on the wrist over a few unearned raises and promotions (or even having the power to, Vince and the McMahons control most of the voting rights anyway I believe).

Imagine if his downfall comes from being a cheapskate and paying off his side pieces with company money after all of the jams he's wiggled out of over the years though
