Not directly about Vince, but Brutus on the WWE Timeline was asked about the Brooklyn Brawler & was insinuating things. If that type of thing allegedly went down with Brawler, unfortunately it makes you wonder the whole company culture around that time & even later on.

Still don't understand why they brought this doc out, especially with WWE going to Netflix. If this is independent of WWE there's not much they could do but if it's a WWE production or co-production it's something they should've nixed & left on the shelf.

It's probably an attempt for Netflix.to be able to say "Vince never worked for us and actually we made a 6 hour documentary talking about him being a bad guy" to shield themselves running Raw in case more bad stuff comes out. if they shut it down they'd look worse.

I think we can assume that more bad stuff, in fact, is going to come out. :)

Apparently Dave has said some things about Bix's old WM3 Deadspin article, that appeared for a little bit in the doco and that clip above.



I listened to it:

"They showed a flash of Bixenspan's article, and it's like, if you ever read that article, there was like no facts of nothing. WWE didn't give him a number, no commission gave him a number, no building gave him a number..."

Dave then talks about how he got the 78k figure from Bresloff.

Saw bits & pieces, like Trish defending the segment when Vince had her acting like a dog was so weird. She could've spoke out and made a statement saying how messed up it was, but she's still towing the company line.

He's so honest. But he's the one guy who hasn't had any business with WWE in years so doesn't have to give answers WWE want, he can just tell it like it was. Plus I think he's Dwayne Johnson's godfather so he would protect Tony if WWE tried anything.

I believe it was Tony who tried to save Bruiser Brody's life in Puerto Rico by actually carrying him & taking him to hospital, so Tony's a real one.

He did. He was really good friends with Brody and was actually drawing a picture of Brody and his son when Jose Gonzalez stabbed him.
