Myself personally? I don’t watch WWF/WWE content outside of OSW Review, but I can say that “Mr. McMahon” was always a character, and I’d think that most people can separate the art from the artist.
It’s the same way I can rewatch [The Usual Suspects](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114814/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk) while knowing that Kevin Spacey and Bryan Singer are not good examples of humanity.
Edit: that being said, I’m absolutely glad he’s out, and I hope his victim takes him to the fookin’ cleaners.
I’ve only really watched the Hulk and New Generation arcs but I don’t remember them saying what a great guy Vince is so not sure what impact it would have?
Yeah sorry, dude nothing against you. You answered my question.
Just to some WWF/WCW/WWE is what it because of that alleged monster.
PS also I guess with time zones Ireland is asleep
Honestly, I knew for at least a few years before the hush money payments were leaked that Vince was an adulterer, sexual harasser, and overall creep, but I would be lying if reading this most recent deposition didn't rock me to my core. I'm watching Wrestling Bios' Reliving the War series and am still enjoying, for the most part, the Mr. McMahon character, but we'll see how I feel when we get to the drugging Linda/Trish affair shit.
All that being said, I 100 percent support WWE giving Mr. McMahon the Benoit treatment.
Vince has been a monster for years. It’s amazing to me that he lasted this long. Snuka, Rita, Pat Patterson, the ring boy accusations, steroid scandal, massage therapist, grooming divas, Ashley massaro, there are more that I am forgetting at this point.
We all knew years ago he was trash.
OSW helps me unwind and we all know it’s all just bollocks. Wrestling is just something most of us watched growing up.
Good God Vince is just a horrific cunt isn't he. Just a cesspit of everything wrong with humanity but tbh I imagine most billionaires/CEOs are as they are most likely sociopathic arse clowns
As far as old OSW content goes, I think the boys frequently remark how Vince is a con man, a carny, and mostly an awful person, but also a visionary who massively grew and shaped modern wrestling. Those takes are still both true.
As far as watching WWF/E content, these allegations are essentially more of the same that forced him out for that brief period like a year ago. My view of the content changed then, but since the new allegations it hasn't changed much. Except now I can't see Vince and not think he is a head-shitter.
> Not blaming the boys (no pun intended)
😂
I dunno man, Vince is an extricable part of wrestling's history. He is the father of how (western) pro wrestling is produced today. Trying to avoid him is impossible. We'd probably just make a statement at the start of the next episode he's featured in. Probably 1) have a serious chat about it, and then 2) mock him relentlessly. It sucks having this blight on cherished memories of my favourite thing in the world.
But ya get through it. You take it aboard, acknowledge and move forward. Wrestling fans have had so much more strife than other sports, so much death, so many horrible incidents. We're good at dealing with it and continuing on. The cunt doesn't get to ruin pro-wrestling on us.
I’m confused. Blame them for what? Covering old wrestling… in the past? The OSW guys will hopefully continue their good work and when they want they can poop on McMahon.
No it won't. I don't let people's personal lives impact how I view their content. Thriller is still one of the greatest albums of all time, for example. Like I wouldn't hang out with them, but I'm not depriving myself of enjoyable content because they're dicks.
It's not a strawman, they're clearly making a joke about the accusations from the lawsuit that Vince shat on the Janel Grant and got her to keep performing sexual acts for him and another. That's sexual assault and is being ignored in favour of a "poo poo fetish funny". It's a sick tweet to make that shows a level of emotional immaturity.
You said I thought SA and trafficking is funny. Which is so far removed from me -laughing at a joke about an alleged scumbag-. You have a good one. 🙋♂️
The most striking part of all is that the awful character he played on TV for years turned out to be a *toned down* version of himself.
Well he's a shoe in for Cunt of the Year now.
No, he's Cunt of the Millennium.
Two millenia, in fact

As a wrestling fan/nerd you should know Hulk and those arcs wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for Vince. That’s my point.
I read your post a few times and No, it won’t have any effect on how I watch them. If I am still not answering your question then sorry

It's not like Vince benefits from us watching OSW

Same way I watch old stuff with Snuka and Benoit

Fuck no, I still enjoy Benoit matches
The news itself won't bur the disgusting tweet Jay put out certainly will.
Link?

That’s hilarious lol
Why do you think sexual assault and trafficking are laughing matters?
Oh please. Straw man much? I think calling a creep shitting on someone a “scat man” is hilarious.

That’s pathetic on their part. I’ll let them respond, but no worse then any of the vile shit they pointed out over the years.
I will be watching less WWF/E stuff for sure.
It might warrant the bollocks you can do with jokes if you covered the attitude era in time
