    Anyone got a paywall workaround? I don’t care much about wwe, but never liked piece of shit McMahon, and I’d really like to read about the beginning of his end.

      Back in the 90s I was a big WWF/WWE fan. But as McMahon kept taking larger and larger on-screen? on-canvas? roles, it all become rapidly more skeevy. Not that he wasn’t a shitbag behind the scenes. From the way I’ve always heard he treated the wrestlers, he’s hot garbage. And tbh, this story is horrifying and entirely not surprising at all.

        It’s absolutely awful. I don’t think I’ve watched more than 3 minutes of wwe in total. I only took interest in finding out who he was because of the fucking meme that he is in. But there’s just something about McMahon that just screams pieceofshitabusivegarbagehuman. And yes, this story is not surprising at all.

        The first time I saw a Brock lesnar ufc fight, I was very shocked by this brutal knuckle dragger -mind you, I was very young and it was probably one of the first times I saw a ufc fight on the screen. When I saw he’s part of the story, I wasn’t surprised. But I was hoping that maybe he’d have a redeeming quality, and that maybe he’d stood up to McMahon and defended Grant… no such luck, of course. Why do men in power have to be such pieces of shit…
