They’ve released DAKOTA KAI AND MALCOLM BIVENS. :sad:

Apparently Bivens didn’t want to re-sign with the company.

Dakota though. Ffs.

I can see Roddy and Io next honestly. They’re completely eradicating what’s left of Black and Gold NXT it seems.

[Liam-]

They honestly can’t afford to keep releasing these amazing women

[LaLaLand]

A total of 9 NXT 2.0 releases:

Dakota Kai
Malcolm Bivens
Harland
Persia Pirotta
Blair Baldwin (referee)
Raelyn Divine
Mila Malani
Draco Anthony
Vish Kanya

Dakota is gonna thrive outside this company. I've just been listening to Athena/Embers latest interview with Chris Van Vliet and the new NXT environment sounds completely toxic they are better away from it.

[Liam-]

Dakota is the only one I actually care from that list, but they definitely could have used Malcolm

[LaLaLand]

I thought they had big plans for Parker (Harland) originally. There was a lot of hype around him when he signed, many calling him a new Brock Lesnar.

Oops.

Harland was the one with Joe Gacy right?

So Dakota's released and on SD! Raquel is just doing random jobber squash matches for the forseeable whilst the women's tag champions are having a filler feud against the team that nobody cares about in Nattie and Shayna.

Why couldn't we have had Raquel/Dakota like in NXT? A bonafide, developed tag team - holding the gold or at least giving the champs an actually decent feud?

WWE Board Reportedly Investigating Settlement Tied To Vince McMahon

Huge news coming out of WWE’s corporate end, as the Wall Street Journal is reporting that the board of World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. is investigating a $3 million settlement, paid to a former employee by WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon with whom he allegedly had an affair.


According to the Journal’s sources, the separation agreement is from January of 2022 and bars the former paralegal from discussing her relationship with McMahon or disparaging him in any way. The WWE board has said the relationship between McMahon and the employee, hired in 2019, was consensual. The WWE board began investigating McMahon in April and has since uncovered more settlements.

The investigation has reportedly uncovered previous non-disclosure agreements by former WWE employees, which not only claim misconduct by McMahon but also Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis. There is no word on how many agreements were unearthed by the investigation. The total amount paid in non-disclosure agreements (NDA) has yet to be determined by the board, but a source noted that it was in the millions.

The investigation also discovered that McMahon used personal funds to pay the former female employees. The personal funds were not only used for complaints against McMahon, as McMahon reportedly used personal funds to pay for the settlement involving Laurinaitis.

According to McMahon’s attorney Jerry McDevitt, “WWE did not pay any monies” to the former employee, which lines up with the investigation’s report that McMahon used personal funds. While the investigation is mainly focused on the settlements to the former employees, but would also broadly investigate WWE’s human resources programs, as well as company culture as a whole.

The Wall Street Journal notes that the 12-person board of directors still includes McMahon’s daughter Stephanie, who recently stepped away from her duties as Chief Brand Officer to take time with her family. The investigation is being led by board member Man Jit Singh, a former Sony Home Entertainment Executive.


The news comes after WWE stock prices rose on Wednesday, in the wake of the Federal Reserve announcing the highest interest rates since 1994.

Including this:

Vince Crosses the Line (Not the TNA One)
2 OF 9
Vince McMahon's profile 2-Disc DVD (simply titled, McMahon) provided an in-depth look at the WWE owner in real life when it was released back in 2006. In fact, decent as the overall DVD was, we may have been given too much of a glimpse into the real life Vince and his legendary eccentricities over the course of the two-hour documentary that accompanied Vince's best matches and moments. Indeed, for what was essentially a vanity project that aimed at presenting Vince in the best light possible, most viewers would have come away from this thinking Vince was a very strange guy indeed.

So, what was the problem? Well, in between all the cute family stories, lavish praise from the wrestlers interviewed and the general crooning about how “Vince turned the business around,” a bomb is dropped when the subject of Stephanie McMahon's real-life pregnancy comes up.

In a sit down interview filmed exclusively for the DVD, Stephanie, who was at that point pregnant with her and husband HHH's first child, tells a story about how Vince called her into his office one day and told her he planned to write her condition into the storylines. Not so bad, you're thinking, right?

Well, the story Vince proposed involved revealing incest within the McMahon family, and ultimately claiming on screen that he was the father of Stephanie's child! Stephanie was understandably repulsed and turned the storyline down right there on the spot. “I don't know who would find entertainment in a storyline like that,” she notes on the DVD.

Did his daughter's firm rejection snap some sense into Vince? Er, no. Vince was undeterred, and quickly suggested Stephanie's brother, Shane, be revealed as the father instead. Stephanie wisely turned that one down, too.

This raises several troubling questions. Did Vince really think a demented storyline like that would be suitable for Raw? Did he not understand why the idea was so unacceptable to Stephanie? Besides the issues of taste, what about the teasing his granddaughter would surely get in school in a few years about such a high-profile angle? Stephanie has gotten her fair share of criticism for her role as head writer in WWE, but turning down this storyline is surely one of the smartest things she's ever done.

Interestingly, whoever was editing this DVD didn't realize how badly this whole thing made Vince look, and elected to keep it in the feature. Maybe the most puzzling thing of all.


But even he didn't like this idea below:

Baron Von Bava
9 OF 9
As I've shown, Vince McMahon has come up with some crude, distasteful angles in his time, and also given serious consideration to other people’s downright bizarre ideas that most sane people would throw out without a second thought. The man must be impossible to shock, right?

Well, WWE writer Dan Madigan (who also penned gross-out horror See No Evil for WWE Films) found a way. Speaking to Powerslam Magazine in 2008, Madigan spoke about his stint in the company and revealed that he pitched an idea in spring of 2004 that had stunned Vince into silence—and swiftly ended his promising WWE career.

In one creative meeting with Vince, Stephanie and the rest of the writers, Madigan revealed that he had excitedly stood up and explained to everyone what he thought was one of the best creative ideas he had ever came up with: Baron von Bava, a frozen Nazi storm trooper from 1940s Germany who thawed out in 2004 to spread terror and mayhem wherever he went.

Madigan explained that the panicked, desperate Nazi scientists, realizing they were losing the war, had frozen and preserved one of their best soldiers in order to ensure their legacy for a future generation. A freshly thawed out Bava would know little of the modern world and would not realize why his Nazi behaviour was seen as so wrong.

The concept of a Nazi cyborg on a pro-wrestling show couldn't get any more offensive, surely? Well, actually, yes, it could. Madigan then explained: “To make the story even more insane, I wanted Paul Heyman, a Jewish New Yorker, to be the one to revive the baron and bring him to Smackdown to be his manager. I thought it would be a scream to have Paul E. come down to the ring and introduce Baron von Bava, only to have the Baron come down to the ring goose-stepping and wearing the red Swastika around his biceps.”

At this point, Madigan admitted that he actually started goose-stepping in front of Vince and all the writers to show how the gimmick would work in practice.

When Madigan finished explaining the concept to everyone, he sat down and felt extremely proud, feeling he had just pitched the idea of his life (“In my mind, this idea worked out well,” he told Powerslam. “After the Katie Vick angle, I figured I could write anything for these guys.”)

Then he noticed that no one around him was saying anything—they had been stunned into silence. He looked over at a speechless Vince, who was possibly the most shocked out of everyone. After a long, depressed silence, the WWE owner, still not uttering a word and wearing the same stunned look, carefully picked up his jacket and briefcase and calmly walked out of the room, not to be seen again for the rest of the day. (“Well, that's a first,” Madigan recalled Ed Koskey saying shortly after Vince walked out.)

Another writer, speaking to the magazine for the piece, noted the severe damage this pitch had done to Madigan’s WWE career: “From that day forward, Dan was a marked man, his ideas were cast aside and not even judged.” Unsurprisingly, Madigan was gone from the company by November 2004.

Five Different Law Firms Investigating WWE On Behalf Of Investors
By Ross Berman |June 21, 2022

WWE is officially under the microscope.


After news broke that the WWE board of directors were investigating hush money payments made by Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon to cover up allegations of misconduct, both by former employees and by McMahon himself, a law firm announced it was investigating WWE on behalf of investors, looking into whether or not WWE violated securities laws. As of today, four other law firms have begun their own similar investigations. While none of these have yet gone far enough to be classified a “class” in a class action lawsuit, they are the preparatory stages for such a case. All of the investigations were announced through Business Wire.

Some of the investigations require investors that have lost a certain amount of money, while others only require investors to either have suffered losses from WWE stock or to currently own WWE stock. All share the same general purpose, to determine whether WWE mismanaged the company or neglected their fiduciary duties in a way that could be considered harmful to shareholders.

The issues began last week, when The Wall Street Journal announced that the WWE board of directors had been investigating the payments since April — one of which was allegedly paid out to silence a female employee with whom McMahon had had an affair. This led to the announcement that McMahon would step down from his corporate duties, while still overseeing the company’s creative direction. McMahon’s daughter Stephanie has stepped in as interim Chairwoman & CEO.

Despite WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis being put on administrative leave after being named in the board’s investigation, McMahon — the central figure of the investigation — remains on WWE television, making appearances on “WWE Smackdown” and last night’s episode of “Monday Night Raw.”

Two More Law Firms Investigating WWE
By Ross Berman |June 23, 2022

To paraphrase Smash Mouth, the investigations keep coming, and they don’t stop coming.

Following news of five different law firms investigating the company, two more have now announced they’ll be looking into WWE’s handling of fiduciary responsibilities to investors in the build up to, and fallout from, a bombshell report from the Wall Street Journal detailing an investigation by WWE’s own board of directors into hush money payments made by chairman & CEO Vince McMahon. The news has had a dramatic effect on WWE’s stock price, leading to the investigations on behalf of long-term WWE shareholders, who feel the company’s actions were not in the best interest of investors.

Like the other five companies, Pomerantz Law Firm and Moore Kuehn, PLLC will both look into whether WWE breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders, committed securities fraud, or engaged in other unlawful business practices. If proper evidence is found in the investigation, a class action law suit could be formed on behalf of investors, but no investigation has been officially designated a “class” as of publication.

An investigation into January 2022 Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) between McMahon and a former WWE paralegal led to the discovery of numerous NDAs between McMahon and former female employees alleging misconduct. WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis was also named in the WWE board’s investigation. McMahon has since stepped down from his corporate duties while maintaining control over the company’s creative direction. Laurinaitis has been placed on administrative leave.

Since news of the investigations broke, McMahon has made appearances on both “WWE SmackDown” and “WWE Raw.” The 76-year old executive did not address any allegations or the investigations on-screen or backstage, where he was said to be in a jovial mood despite the situation.

Vince McMahon allegedly had more “hush pact” agreements than originally known.

The Wall Street Journal published a report on July 8 revealing new details regarding misconduct allegations against WWE’s Vince McMahon. In June, The Journal revealed the WWE board was investigating McMahon for a million-dollar hush pact he had agreed to with a former employee, and now shares that the number of women and payout total was much higher than previously known.

Now, The Journal is reporting that over the past 16 years, McMahon agreed to pay more than $12 million to four women with WWE ties to get them to “suppress allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity.” According to the new report, one of the agreements included a $7.5 million agreement with a former wrestler who “alleged that Mr. McMahon coerced her into giving him oral sex and then demoted her and, ultimately, declined to renew her contract in 2005 after she resisted further sexual encounters.” The wrestler and her attorney went to McMahon in 2018 and negotiated the payout in exchange for her silence, according to those familiar with the matter.

Another agreement was reached in 2008 after a WWE performer received unsolicited nude photos of McMahon. The contractor presented the photos and allegations of sexual harassment to the company, and was said to have reached a payout of approximately $1 million. A third agreement in 2006 was also discovered, as a former manager was paid $1 million to stay quiet about her relationship with McMahon. It was noted that this performer worked for McMahon for 10 years before he initiated a sexual relationship with her.

These agreements are in addition to the reported $3 million hush pact discovered by The Journal in June, which was between McMahon and a paralegal he had an affair with. WWE is investigating this agreement, as well as the 2018 deal with the former wrestler.

In addition to the allegations against McMahon, the WWE board is also investigating a $1.5 million nondisclosure agreement reached in 2012 with an employee involving misconduct claims against John Laurinaitis, who was named in The Journal’s June report. Laurinaitis allegedly had a sexual relationship with the same paralegal as McMahon, and the board is looking into those allegations as well as the 2012 settlement. According to people familiar with the NDA, Laurinaitis was demoted around the same time as the $1.5 million deal with the employee, who claimed she was demoted after she broke off an affair with him.

Laurinaitis was promoted back to Head Of Talent Relations in 2021, but he has since been placed on administrative leave since The Journal published details about the investigation. WWE is cooperating with the board’s investigation; Laurinaitis and McMahon’s attorney have not responded to requests for comment. McMahon voluntarily stepped aside as the Chief Executive Officer and WWE Chairman on June 17, and his daughter, Stephanie McMahon, replaced him as acting Chairwoman. While he is no longer WWE Chairman, McMahon retained his creative duties in the company and has made two appearances on WWE TV since the original report broke.

They both need to get gone. The fact Vince has been parading himself on TV ever since the news broke makes it all the more hideous.

As the winner of the Royal Rumble gets a title shot at Wrestlemania, they should bring back the King of the ring tournament PPV with the winner getting a title shot at Summerslam.

They should listen to me and they might just revive the WWE from the death bed it's currently on.

[Alf]

The Survivor series, one of the big four main events of the year is on Sunday, and nobody even cares about it.

Let's face facts, women's wrestling is killing the WWE. When it comes to something like wrestling, a sports entertainment where you need the best physical athletic people, then men are just far superior to women both physically and athletically. That's just nature. Why would people want second rate physical athlete's when you could have first rate physical athlete's?

Scrap it and spend more money on better men's talent and better story writers before the WWE ceases trading for good.

The WWE is going to die for the sake of trying to think that they stand for equality.when in reality they're just standing for second rate entertainment.
