Ill be watching. I was once listening to a Podcast and someone made a comment where the point stuck with me. It was along the lines of “Show me a moral Billionaire and Ill show you a Pot of Gold at the End of a Rainbow”.
The majority of content we all consume, the clothes we wear, the food we buy, pretty much every company out there has people involved that are immoral people, especially on top. Its shitty, its awful, and this is by no means justifying it, but its sadly the reality of that world we live in, especially in cooperate America where to make the level of money to become a billionaire, 99% of the time you’re doing something really shitty and corporate America is run by these shitty people.
I’m not going to miss out on things that I enjoy because someone or even multiple people who work(ed) for a company are shitty people. And, I don’t want to take away from all the hard working people who work for the company that have NOTHING to do with anything (ie. the Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn’s, Baileys, etc. of the world). Now if someone else does want to shy away from watching because of all of this, that’s up to you, I don’t judge and I do get it, and I get it even more if you are a person who has personally dealt with something similar to this.
I think this sort of thing is sadly a lot more common then a lot of people realize. Billionaires throwing parties with Drugs and Alcohol, offering Women up to “close” a deal…its gross, its immoral and I sadly think this happens all the time. Look no further to Epstein Island and the hundreds of celebrities that attended. Harvey Weinstien…everyone in Hollywood knew about it as it was common knowledge, hell 30 Rock had numerous jokes about him assaulting woman before anything came out about it. I highly doubt that these are the only cases out there. I think its rampant in Corporate America and more specifically the Entertainment business.
I hope Vince is finally completely removed from WWE, and I hope that anyone else involved is also removed. However, I’m not going to pay the “gotcha” game that others are trying to play by saying who is or isnt involved before definitive information comes out (and no, reporters saying its the tip of the iceberg or that certain people COULD be involved is not proof), because the reality is that its all speculation outside of Vince and John L (at least as of the last time I read a news update). As proof comes out, my opinion will change, that’s how opinion should work. If your mind is made up (either way) regardless of the facts, thats just bias.
Its definitely going to take a lot of the excitement out of the weekend, but I don’t think the performers should suffer. Obviously the women are the main victims here, but I also feel bad for all the good people that are in WWE that have the stink of this on them now who had nothing to do with anything.
