i forgot i hadn't talked about it here so i'll just say this rq: vince mcmahon is a horrible and twisted person, my heart goes out to all the victims bc clearly there's more, fuck john laurinaitis and brock lesnar too, janel grant is so fucking strong for speaking out, i hope vince's next breath is his last so
btw if any of you needed to catch up/don't know what's going on, i highly recommend going to @WrestleOps on twitter, they have the clearest information by far and it'll be the easiest way to inform yourself
and here's a link to the actual government file if anyone is interested in taking a look at it: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ctd.157647/gov.uscourts.ctd.157647.1.0.pdf

Thoughts after watching Mr. McMahon
This one won't be a traditional review of sorts that people have come to expect from me. Recently, Netflix released Mr. McMahon a look into the mind of the most recognized face in the wrestling business.
Netflix decided throughout the documentary that they wanted to reiterate that almost all of this documentary was made before the major allegations against Vince in 2022. That felt a little bit like a cop out at times. For me instantly, that is the story. It is how Vince will be remembered now, and there is no way around it. It basically made the serious accusations levied against Vince feel like just another throwaway moment in the life of an eccentric billionaire.
They immediately can say well we addressed it with the little blurb saying that the events within the 6 episodes are now skewed. Yet they awkwardly chose to edit one of the very first sentences of the documentary to essentially be Vince saying "I wish we could talk about things but I have to be silent."
The issue that arises from that is at what point in the process did Vince say that? Was it a harmless throwaway when asked about locker room talk? Was it in a means to try and get him to elaborate on the known affairs that he himself made public.
While personally I won't go as far as to say Bruce Prichard is right when saying this doesn't paint the portrayal of Vince, it certainly allowed too much of Vince to keep speaking while their was damning evidence mounted against him over the last two years. They should have switched the focus of the documentary when that information came out. They should have made it life with vs life without Vince. Of course, we still don't know exactly what long-term life without him looks like, but we should have had more superstars interviewed about how they felt. These were people who clearly prior to the allegations coming out that were still trying to blur the lines between reality and fiction. Including Vince himself. It casts shadows on most of the people who worked so closely with Vince over the years. It made the Mr. McMahon character the center piece of a story that is about real-life debauchery and trying to get away with it.
It felt like the real story here, which was the deaths of Owen Hart, Chris Benoit, and Ashley Massaro, were simply glossed over because while making the documentary, they still wanted to paint Vince as this creative mastermind. As said both are true. He did this. He brought this to life but there should be no celebrating the man that brought his real life depravity to the screen.
After Janel Grant filed her lawsuit, the entire focus of this documentary should have changed. There was truly never a Mr. McMahon character and if seeing the way he treated Ashley in one scene they used didn't leave you feeling sad and lost then this documentary failed to highlight the true nature of how evil and vile this man could be. It should have been about why one person controlling so much of one entity is never a good thing. Vince McMahon is the ultimate definition of power, corrupting the mind and having your way in life because you feel untouchable. If nothing else, please let this documentary serve as a means to let young women and men know that money never gives a person the right to dominate you.

Inside the WWE: ‘A Kingdom Ruled by Fear’
Six former writers for the organization’s long-running shows, SmackDown! and Monday Night RAW, describe bullying and sexism that occurred behind the scenes while former CEO Vince McMahon was in charge.
The six writers who used to work at WWE tell Rolling Stone they regularly witnessed or were on the receiving end of verbal abuse. They say the allegedly hostile conditions permeated not just the writers' room but the company in general, whether at the corporate headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut or when the organization’s TV shows filmed on the road. The former writers say staffers seemed to be divided into two camps: those who were WWE loyalists and only had experience working at McMahon’s company, and newcomers with outside experience in the entertainment industry who immediately realized the WWE was unlike any other workplace they’d seen.
“Everybody was getting yelled at all the time in the room,” one former writer says. “It was more saying shit that was humiliating or mean [that was then] couched as a joke, but it’s a nasty joke.” The writer adds, “If you’re being targeted in the room, nobody stands up for you, but that’s because if they do, they will get the bullet in the head, too. You don’t stick your head out of the foxhole for anybody, because nobody wants to take a bullet.”
Tales of inappropriate behavior within WWE go back a long way, and this piece only adds to that, from a hostile work environment to sexism. McMahon was ousted as CEO of the company earlier this year after former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit alleging she was sexually assaulted and trafficked by McMahon. He remains under federal investigation.

I think people underestimate just how unprepared wrestling media and wrestling content creation is to deal with what’s happening.
Like how in the fuck are you allowing a company undergoing multiple civil and federal lawsuits to not be able to rebrand, but also use you as a mouthpiece in their rebranding? Why are you uncritically parroting every anti-AEW story to mask every new development of the Janel Grant suit against WWE? How come no one has tried to investigate just why Ashley Massaro and Maria Kannellis were sent to an off the books Event to Kuwait where the former was drugged and raped in a coordinated matter that it feels like it was planned and prepared?
Talking about what Tony Khan wrote on Twitter is ruining AEW? Bitch, have you read that affidavit?!

Brock Lesnar can only achieve feats like this after he has been properly energized by having Vince McMahon send him images of Janel Grant going pee pee so he can view them and reach his full power. Enjoy :)

WWE founder Vince McMahon accused of sexual assault, trafficking
In a shocking turn of events, WWE founder Vince McMahon faces serious allegations of sexual assault and trafficking, shaking the very foundations of the wrestling empire he built. The accusations, brought forth by multiple individuals, cast a dark shadow over McMahon’s storied career and the industry he revolutionized.
The gravity of these allegations demands a thorough and impartial investigation, as the wrestling community grapples with the potential tarnishing of its once-revered figurehead. McMahon, known for his larger-than-life presence, now finds himself at the center of a legal storm that could reshape both his personal legacy and the future of WWE.
This scandal unfolds against the backdrop of a broader societal reckoning with issues of abuse of power and harassment. The #MeToo movement has empowered survivors to come forward, demanding accountability even from those in positions of influence.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the wrestling world and its fans are left in a state of shock and uncertainty. The outcome will not only impact McMahon’s personal standing but also pose fundamental questions about the industry’s culture and its responsibility to address allegations of misconduct.
In the face of these serious accusations, the wrestling community awaits justice and transparency, grappling with the potential fall of a towering figure who shaped the landscape of professional wrestling for decades.

Fav TV 📺 of 2024!
Shifting this yearly tradition here to Tumblr from here on out!
Sticking to top 4, since that was the photo limit where it started years ago 😉.
Please keep in mind: These are *my* FAVS, not a "Best of" list. What *I* enjoyed the most this year. ✌️😎
Categories: TV Drama, TV Comedy, Performance in a TV Drama, & Performance in a TV Comedy!
TV 📺 DRAMA
I'll leave the analyzation to the pros, but I was definitely pleasantly surprised by three brand new shows on this list, plus a second season that I enjoyed even more than the first!
TV 📺 COMEDY
Cannot wait for more of these, minus Curb of course 😔. Hats off to Larry & Co. for an amazing run! 🙌
Drama 📺 Performance
Cristin Milioti as "Sofia Falcone/Gigante" on "The Penguin".
Charles Edwards as "Celebrimbor" on "Rings of Power".
Eddie Redmayne as "The Jackal" on "The Day of the Jackal".

What an exciting year for new discovery, both in shows and performers! So much more that could be added to this list, but that's the challenge of keeping a short list! Looking forward to seeing what 2025 has in store! 📺
