    I cant open the link, but is it possible that this is just a publicity stunt?

    I don't think so. Seems pretty serious. Supposedly this former employee also had her salary bumped from $100K to $200K at some point.

    WWE CEO and Chairman Vince McMahon is stepping back from his duties as the company’s board investigates alleged misconduct by the executive.
    The announcement comes after The Wall Street Journal revealed the WWE board was probing a $3 million hush payment from McMahon to a female former employee over an alleged affair.
    Stephanie McMahon, McMahon’s daughter, will take over as interim chairman and CEO.

    Wasn't she supposed to be taking over awhile ago? I haven't watched wrestling in probably close to 15+ years, but I feel like the switch from Vince to her has been an on and off thing for awhile now?

    She randomly stepped away from the company about a month ago and cited personal reasons. But this story comes out seems like it was the reason for her wanting a break before the storm.

    Vinnie Mac wouldn't pull a publicity stunt that would cause stocks to drop so much. He's much smarter than that. This is real.

    GET WELL SOON, DOBBER.

    Supposedly he is going to speak on Smackdown tonight. So I guess Axe's question is more valid now. Not that I think this is a publicity stunt but I'm not surprised Vince is now going to use this for ratings.

    Considering the juice that man has pumped into his body over the years, it's amazing he's lived this long.

    Maybe it's because of the juice he's pumped into his body that he's lived this long

    You may be right, although I'd say the juice has been a big factor in a lot of wrestlers dying well before their time.

    That's true. Vince is the anomaly though. He's like that one random 87 year old who everyone knows, whose smoked a pack a day for 70 years.

    You know WWE is a publicly traded company... when the Chairman and CEO has to step down that's real bad

    This ain't a wrestling storyline lol - very serious allegations here
