    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

    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?

          He tried to force Rita Chatter ton to give him a bj but she refused and he raped her in his limo. Mario Mancini corroborated the events.

          He also appears to have forced a paralegal into a threesome a few years ago and shit on her…

        I usually shit poop or farts. Sometimes both. I’ve yet to shit apples, but I’m intrigued by your directive. Any advice or procedures you can offer?

          I think he means something along the lines of “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and the shit rolls downhill” or something?

            Nah, it’s shit-apples and shit-trees. I was just using pedantry as an excuse to make poop jokes.

            Side note: the principal where I used to work would say “spotted dogs have spotted puppies,” about the kids who didn’t stand a chance to avoid a bad situation at school because they were raised by shitty parents.

            I also once witnessed him telling a parent, “yes, I know your child is the most special kid at our school and that you’re a very special parent, which is why you feel you should be prioritized and why it’s okay for you to be rude. But I just need you to remember that I have all of these other special parents *sweeping arm gesture* whose kids are also the most special child at our school. So instead of endangering the other special kids, you’re just going to have to be a little bit patient like the wonderful special parent I know you can be.” Fucking epic.

      Coincidence, how could you think that? All of these men have been targeted by the lunatic left. There’s nothing to see here. /s

    I know he was super gross with the talent.

    What’s surprising to me is that anyone let their kids around these psychos. I had never even heard of a “Ring boy” before this week and was watching wrestling in the 80s.

      Oh yeah. These allegations and his role in them go back years. Behind the Bastards did a pretty good series of episodes on McMahon. The guy is a massive piece of rapist shit.

      What is the deal with all these damn rapists.

      The sexual abuse of children is vastly more common than many people want to believe. It happens all over the world and it isn’t confined to any particular group or class.

        I mean… I can think of a few classes and groups that have the vast lion’s share, but I’m not here to get banned.

          Eh, nobody is going to get banned (at least not from my instance) as long as it stays inbounds.

          There are well understood reasons why sexual abusers cluster into certain jobs, such as priests, but they are commonly found all over the world in every social, political, and economic class. The truth is that for for every Jerry Sandusky or Vince McMahon you hear about there’s 100, or even 1000, non-famous people that you don’t hear about.

            I was actually referring to men…

            I also would like to see the data on how much more likely a famous/rich/powerful person is to be actually tried/prosecuted if they abused boys/men vs girls/women. It sure feels like it at least gets way more publicity when it’s boys/men as victims.

      The cycle continues. A tale as old as time. The only difference is that victims are finally being supported and perpetrators are finally (sort of) being held accountable.

    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

    Quelle Surprise, a person, and a company with no redeeming qualities, is proven to have been a dangerous and exploitive place to have worked. I mean, never in a million years would I have thunk it, this white trash excuse for reality entertainment, being exposed as being almost as evil as the Catholic Church.
