There used to be law firms that specialized in corporate board issues, if there was ever a time for one to be hired to figure out who knew what, it’s now. Sadly, this is a company owned by a man who not only stood behind Dana White slapping his wife in public but then sat on stage and said there was no better friend or person than Vince McMahon to be in business with. Endeavor is no saint of a company, I don’t think most of the big names people have been salivating about being fired are going to get fired, nor do I agree they should be based on information currently available. I just really want an investigation by an outside law firm that wouldn’t have any reason to cover shit up.
Now lets fantasy book… fire them all and rename the company Endeavor’s Entertainment Wrestling, EEW… then when people change ECW it will sound like EEW on TV.
Its an interesting thought, notwithstanding the WWE fan base have in the past been extraordinarily forgiving… WWE’s own curated mythology is that since the 80s, Wrestling = WWE, and WWE = Vince. Most of their documentaries lay the entirety of WWEs financial and creative success at the feet of Vince’s “genius”. Essentially the WWE is built on a cult of personality that is a little Stalinist in terms of Vince being the godfather of everything big and successful the company has ever done.
Will they need to break down that myth, or will their audience just forgive it, or not even really believe it? I think you could make an argument that a large part of WWE’s audience is proudly not very woke so I can kinda see it not being a very big deal for many of them. So long as Vince is gone I suspect they won’t bother doing anything more, certainly not without anybody painting the WWE = Vince over & over. I guess they’ll have to pull and/or edit basically every documentary type product they’ve ever produced though!
