>>14794028>the feds are investigating everything as a whole too, right?Yes.
Everything from top to bottom.
If an intern raped a child in the back of the ring truck in 1987 and Vince never knew about it, the feds are gonna discover it.
Drug trafficking by independent contractors who kept it quiet from Vince? Feds will discover it.
The reason why Vince was reluctant to do business with the Rock after 2004 and only ever did so for Wrestlemania moments he could control? The feds will discover it.
I'd hate to be main event talent right now. God knows who you worked with.
>how fucked is everything?Let's put it this way.
Vince not being part of the WWE is good for him right now.
If all the discoveries are published or become public knowledge as part of a court case against the WWE, and they vindicate Vince, WWE stock will tank and Vince can buy the whole company back for scraps.
Alternatively he can start up a new promotion and suddenly have every WWE talent there, minus the rotten apples.
If however discovery doesn't vindicate Vince and incriminates the organisation within the WWE, the WWE will simply go bankrupt and be torn apart.
That does yield one opportunity though.
AEW is bloated with indie wrestlers right now.
Nobody from the WWE can go there, and realistically, nobody wants to go there.
The hole in the market left behind by the WWE will be so huge, that independent territories will develop to fill it, and they'll be on the scale of the old territory system until they all merge again.
Or that indie shit fails and pro wrestling dies altogether.
