    If anyone wants to hate this guy even more: listen to the Behind the Bastards episodes on this guy. It’s a 6-parter, so you know it’s going to be good.

      I’ll second that recommendation. That was one of the most interesting series BtB has ever done. I haven’t even been a wrestling fan since I was a kid but it was fascinating look into the sport and what an absolute monster Vince McMahon has always been.

      Side note related to those Podcast episodes: FUCK Hulk Hogan for selling out Jesse Ventura and his peers who were trying to unionize. That piece of shit move caused an unknowable amount of pain and suffering that could’ve been avoided had wrestlers been able to form a union and get fair pay and proper healthcare.

      Seems there needs to be a seventh episode. And I second u/ZeroCool’s sentiment: fuck Hulk Hogan.

    Citing an example of McMahon’s “extreme depravity,” on May 9, 2020, “he defecated on Ms. Grant during a threesome, and then commanded her to continue pleasuring his ‘friend’ — with feces in her hair and running down her back — while McMahon went to the bathroom to shower off,” the lawsuit says.

    Not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that.

    Again? He has been accused of rape and abuse several times. He represents an unfortunate cycle of abuse.

      This is a woman that already won a civil case against him. She’s talking again because he stopped paying what she is owed.
      If you didn’t read the article or the court documents that were released I suggest preparing yourself. He tortured and raped her multiple times.
