I think those posting McMahon might not have been following WWE news for a few years because, to keep it as short as possible (lol, wall of text), he is recently accused of a bunch of sexual assaults toward, and unethical relations with, a number of his female employees, and he was pushed out of his own company for misleading investors by possibly illegally using company money off-book for hush payments relating to those accusations, only to more recently return with a vendetta against those who he felt badly advised him in originally stepping down (overnight boardroom clear out). His own daughter, who had become CEO (I think) after the accusations came to light, she quit the company pretty much within a nanosecond of him returning. Ostensibly, his return was so he could force through a sale of the company (which happened over the weekend, a merger with the company which owns UFC), but he's getting back into the day-to-day business, probably because he likes tyrannising over his employees, which is a whole other chapter in his biography. So, here we have a typical billionaire doing what billionaires always do: falling upwards. Kicked out of the company, rides the accusations, comes back, somehow gets even richer. He doesn't even seem to outright deny the accusations, choosing instead to claim he made mistakes in the past and has moved on from it. He was also one of the very first Westerners to jump in bed with the Saudis and run sportswashing propaganda for them. For these reasons and more, he is now almost universally reviled within his industry among those in the know, and the only people with a good word to say about him are those who are getting/have got filthy rich off him, or are terrified of him. He's like a less prominent Donald Trump, no exaggeration. I don't really watch WWE (loved it as a kid) but the real backstage politics is so gripping, and his relationship to his children is eerily similar to the TV show Succession. Absolutely insane drama. It's better than any footy drama, even the total basket case clubs.

William Faulkner once wrote a sentence, not a paragraph. a run-on sentence, with 1288 words in it. From this perspective the post above is basically a tweet.

As a very young lad about 8, a new youth club opened on my council estate. The Kool Kat Club.

My big sister (14yo) took me to the opening.

I remember she had her picture taken sat on Vince Eager's lap.
