The District Attorney with the Southern District of New York won’t file an extension of the six-month stay in Janel Grant’s federal civil suit against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis and World Wrestling Entertainment.

Grant filed the suit in January, claiming the defendants of sex trafficking, sex assault and other civil rights violations, as well as violating a non-disclosure agreement.

Federal prosecutors requested a six-month stay due to possible interference between the case and an ongoing federal grand jury criminal investigation of Vince McMahon that’s been ongoing since 2023.

In a statement to SEScoops, attorney Ann Callis said she’s happy Grant’s case can proceed while the federal investigation continues.

“We are pleased that prosecutors for the Southern District of New York have concluded that they can continue their criminal investigation while we bring forward new evidence in our civil case about the sexual exploitation carried out by Janel Grant’s abusers. For the last six months, Ms. Grant has patiently waited to hold Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE accountable for the sex trafficking and abuse she endured at the company on a near daily basis. Her wait is over, and we now look forward to sharing Ms. Grant’s story.”

The lawsuit brought against WWE, TKO and others by former ‘ring boys’ has been put on pause due to an upcoming ruling by the Maryland Supreme Court. Federal Judge James K. Bredar ruled to stay proceedings until the Supreme Court rules on whether the state’s Child Victims Act is constitutional.

The CVA, which was first introduced in 2023, removes the statute of limitations for civil lawsuits involving child sexual abuse, even in cases of negligence. The law is crucial to the case brought forward, as they alleged abuse took place decades ago.

The lawsuit was filed in October and alleges that former WWE employee Mel Phillips sexually abused the five plaintiffs, anonymized as John Doe 1 through 5, while they worked as ring boys in the 1980s. It also claims that WWE, Vince, and Linda McMahon failed to act despite being aware of Phillips’ conduct. Phillips passed away in 2012.

Vince McMahon’s attorney Jessica T. Rosenberg, also representing McMahon in the Janel Grant lawsuit, has described the case as full of claims that are “untrue and unfounded.” Linda McMahon’s lawyer Laura Brevetti has described the lawsuit as “filled with scurrilous lies, exaggerations, and misrepresentations.”

The Maryland Supreme Court’s ruling on whether the CVA is constitutional or not is expected by August 2025. If passed, it will allow this case and others like this one to move forward, regardless of how much time has passed since the alleged abuse. This is an ongoing case and we seek to bring updates in due time.

Becky Lynch may be a part of the most iconic quartet of women in wrestling history, but there’s a reason fans never saw a fully-fledged faction. Lynch was part of the ‘Four Horsewomen’ of WWE, a group acknowledged by WWE of consisting of four of the company’s most talented women at a time when the company was improving its handling of female talent. In addition to Lynch, the group includes Bayley, Charlotte Flair, and Sasha Banks (now AEW’s Mercedes Mone.)

Though members of the group often teamed and often feuded, fans never saw the Four Horsewomen work together as a faction. Speaking at Vulture Festival, Lynch shared that the idea was considered, but that WWE missed its window of opportunity.

“It was always something bubbling under the surface, one of those ‘break in case of emergency’ ideas. But sometimes, when you leave something for too long, it just fades.”

Lynch chalked up WWE never committing to a Four Horsewomen faction to the idea of the group never being fully established on TV, and instead only alluded to. It didn’t help that Vince McMahon was the ultimate decider at the time as to what made it to TV and was hardly on board with the group.

“I don’t think Vince ever really got it. He didn’t understand. He’d say, ‘What is this Four Horsewomen thing? They’ve never even had a match together.'”

Notable Highlights

Lynch had plenty to say during her time at Vulture Festival and discussed a variety of topics. They include:

• She and Charlotte Flair are “fine” though they’re not calling each other every night to hang out. Lynch chalked up the real-life issues that stemmed between the two on just how much love the pair once had for each other.
• Lynch was asked if Vince McMahon’s resignation from WWE and TKO Holdings affected her memoir. She said that the book was pretty-much finished when he stepped down and it would’ve been hard to edit and navigate the book without referencing her former boss.

Former WWE heads Vince and Linda McMahon are separated, according to an attorney for the latter who spoke this week. In a statement to the Washington Post, Linda’s attorney, Laura Brevetti stated that the 76-year-old and Vince are separated.

This news comes amid reports that President-Elect Trump will nominate McMahon as Education Secretary in his next administration. Linda served as Trump’s Small Business Administration chief from 2017 to 2019 and has remained supportive of his initiatives, including his attempts to overturn the 2020 Presidential Election. McMahon served on Connecticut’s Board of Education from 2009-2010 but has no history in teaching.

Much was made of the relationship of Vince and Linda following the 2022 ‘hush money’ scandal that saw Vince step away from WWE in June of that year. While McMahon was able to force his way back into WWE in January 2023, he stepped down in January 2024 due to Janel Grant’s lawsuit. McMahon was tight-lipped during the recent Mr. McMahon docuseries by Netflix which explored some of Vince and WWE’s past controversies.

The Ring Boy Lawsuit

The McMahons, alongside WWE and TKO, are facing another lawsuit regarding the ‘Ring Boy’ scandal, which alleges that underage boys were groomed, exploited, and abused by Mel Phillips at wrestling events and other locations. In a statement, Brevetti said the following about her client’s ties to the suit.

“This lawsuit based upon thirty-plus-year-old allegations is filled with scurrilous lies, exaggerations, and misrepresentations.”

Linda and Vince married in 1966 when she was 17 and he was 21. The pair have two children, both of whom are married, and six grandchildren. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Linda McMahon.

Ann Callis, one of the attorneys representing Janel Grant in a civil complaint filed against Vince McMahon the former President of World Wrestling Entertainment in January, said Grant’s lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon has inspired other women in the wrestling industry to come forward with stories of abuse.

Callis credited Grant with allowing other women in the wrestling industry to reach out.

“I can say generally Janel has been courageous in speaking out about her situation,” Callis said. “Her hope is she is an example to other people who feel that they are not alone and they can speak out themselves and we have been seeing that. I have had several people contact me and we are doing vetting and going through that process.”

Callis said while other women have contacted her following Grant’s case, her federal civil suit against McMahon, John Laurinaitis and World Wrestling Entertainment is in a stay until December 11. This came after a request was made by the FBI and federal investigators who are looking into McMahon in a separate federal criminal case.

Callis, who said she couldn’t talk about Grant’s NDA specifically, spoke with SEScoops about non-disclosure agreements in general and the impact they’ve had on people in the work place.

“They have been weaponized and I think that’s why recent laws have been passed in order to protect men and women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted in the workplace,” Callis said.

In 2022, the Speak Out Act was passed making it illegal for non-disclosure agreements to prohibit men and women from coming forward if they were sexually harassed or assaulted.

A year earlier, Congress passed the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act.

Callis said these laws don’t end contracted non-disclosure agreements automatically, but prevent them in the future in cases of NDAs signed at the onset of employment being used to silence someone who allegedly suffered sexual harassment or sexual assault.

But the new federal laws, as well as state laws, are aimed at protecting employees in these circumstances.

According to the American Bar Association, 82 percent of employees in the U.S. have signed arbitration agreements with their employers when they fill out paperwork starting a new job. Arbitration agreements are also part of many NDAs in discussing how disagreements should be handled.

Before the stay was issued in the McMahon civil suit, his counsel as well as Laurinaitis and WWE’s filed a motion for a hearing to determine whether Grant should be forced to air her grievances in an arbitration hearing in the NDA she signed.

This type of language isn’t just in NDAs, but in the fine print of paperwork and contracts signed by employees. Callis said many of these arbitration clauses aren’t upheld in court and recent legislation, court precendent should make people feel better about their situation if they want to fight in courrt.

“When you’re faced with a multi-national corporation or a multi-billion dollar company, there’s a lot of road blocks that you will see when you are faced with protecting your children and feeding them,” Callis said. “It’s an unfortunate situation people find themselves in but recent legislation, case law and precednet should make these people feel better about their situation.”

Most wrestlers are independent contractors despite meeting many of the conditions of being employees, according to descriptors set by the U.S. Department of Labor.

“Some companies want to characterize workers as independent contractors, but it’s not as clear cut,” Callis said. “In many of these instances the courts find they are indeed employees.”

Several lawsuits have been filed against WWE and World Championship Wrestling over independent contractor status in the last 24 years.

While Grant’s civil case has been under a stay in federal court, she filed a motion for a bill of discovery against Dr. Carlon Colker and his company Peak Wellness in July in Connecticut Superior Court.

Vince and Linda McMahon, as well as WWE, were named as plaintiffs in a suit filed weeks ago in Maryland by several alleged survivors of the 1980s ring boy scandal. The suit claimed the company and the McMahons were negligent in keeping predators away from children, who were hired as ring boys at the time and later accused WWE employees of sexually assaulting them.

McMahon, who is no longer affiliated with WWE, was reported to be looking to start a new entertainment company last week. Linda McMahon, despite being named in the Ring Boy lawsuit, is part of Donald Trump’s 2024 transition team as he prepares to take over the White House in January.

Vince McMahon is very pleased with the direction of WWE since he’s departure, but TKO Group COO Mark Shapiro says the disgraced former WWE Chairman and CEO is “out of the business entirely.” Shapiro spoke with CNBC to discuss this week’s TKO Group Q3 financial results, and revealed details of a recent meeting they had together.

Shapiro tells Alex Sherman that he had breakfast with McMahon a few weeks ago, and wanted to see how he’s doing. It had been a long time since he’d spoken with McMahon, and a lot has transpired since then.

“He couldn’t have been nicer,” Shapiro said of McMahon. “I mean, he was a total pro at breakfast, if you will. It’s a one-on-one get-together, but he’s out of the business entirely. He doesn’t make decisions. He’s not on the board. He doesn’t opine. We don’t consult him.

He’s got some litigation that he’s working through, and frankly, he wants the privacy and the time to work through it which is great, because in the meantime, we’re going to keep building TKO and WWE, and expanding the horizon, expanding the opportunities.”

McMahon remains a minority shareholder of TKO Group, but his position has been significantly reduced. When asked how McMahon feels about WWE’s direction, Shaprio replied, “Couldn’t have been more positive, but I wasn’t asking for his opinion.”

The President of the United States holds the constitutional authority to grant pardons for federal offenses. This power allows the president to forgive individuals convicted of crimes against the federal government, effectively nullifying their sentences and restoring their civil rights.

However, this authority is limited to federal crimes; the president cannot pardon individuals convicted of state offenses. State-level pardons are within the jurisdiction of state governors or appropriate state authorities.

Vince McMahon’s Legal Situation

Vince McMahon, the former WWE executive, is currently under federal investigation for allegations including sexual assault and sex trafficking. These allegations are serious federal offenses.

As of now, McMahon has not been convicted of any crime; he is under investigation, and no charges have been filed. It’s important to note that a presidential pardon can only be granted after a conviction has occurred.

Potential for a Presidential Pardon

IF Vince McMahon were to be convicted of these federal crimes, President Trump could potentially pardon him, given their longstanding personal and professional relationship. However, such a decision would likely be met with significant public scrutiny and legal debate.

It’s also worth noting that presidential pardons do not imply innocence; they merely forgive the crime and remove penalties.

Limitations of Presidential Pardons

It’s crucial to understand that presidential pardons are limited to federal offenses. If McMahon were to face charges at the state level, the president would not have the authority to pardon him. In such cases, only the governor of the respective state or appropriate state authorities could grant a pardon.

Linda McMahon’s Role in Trump’s 2024 Transition Team

In August 2024, now-President Donald Trump appointed Linda McMahon as co-chair of his transition team, alongside Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald. This team was tasked with preparing for a potential second Trump administration, focusing on policy development and personnel selection.

McMahon’s extensive experience in business and government positioned her as a key figure in shaping the strategic direction of the transition. Her leadership is expected to influence the formulation of policies and the identification of candidates for critical administrative roles.

The inclusion of Linda could also indicate that the relationship between Trump and Vince is still strong, however considering the very public issues the couple has faced with the alleged infidelities, this might actually play AGAINST Vince McMahon. We’ll have to wait and see.

A new lawsuit has emerged, bringing Vince McMahon and WWE into legal focus over allegations of intellectual property theft. Leland Owens claims that McMahon, representing WWE, took advantage of his creative contributions under a verbal agreement. Owens asserts that he was never compensated for these ideas and is seeking substantial damages in court.

Allegations Against Vince McMahon and WWE

Leland Owens’ complaint, filed on November 4th, follows a previous suit that was dismissed due to incomplete financial documentation. In this revised lawsuit, Owens claims that he entered into a verbal agreement with WWE to provide creative ideas, which he alleges were used without his authorization or remuneration.

According to Owens, both WWE executives and agents, including Stephanie McMahon and Daniel Bryan (named as such in the suit), were directly involved in the alleged misappropriation. Owens further claims that he was offered “hush money” to stay silent on the issue, heightening the controversy surrounding WWE’s handling of his creative work.

Details of the Intellectual Property Theft Lawsuit

The lawsuit includes several unusual allegations, including comments made by Stephanie McMahon and involvement from other high-profile WWE names.

Owens is pursuing $500 million in damages, underscoring the gravity of the accusations. The suit also mentions that Mercedes Moné (formerly Sasha Banks) acted in a representative role for WWE during the alleged offer of hush money.

WWE’s Legal Response and Potential Implications

As of now, WWE has not issued a public response to the lawsuit. If Owens’ claims hold up in court, this case could lead to a significant payout and potentially influence WWE’s approach to handling creative contributions from independent creators.

Given WWE’s vast influence and reach, the resolution of this case may also prompt other creators to come forward if they feel similarly wronged.

Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon is reportedly in the process of setting up a new entertainment company Sources who spoke to PW Insider report that the 79-year-old billionaire is in the process of setting up an entity that would finance, develop, and produce film and TV projects. The current plan is for it to be officially unveiled if/when McMahon’s ongoing legal issues are resolved.

Several former WWE names are reportedly attached to the project, including former COO Brad Blum and former Senior VP of Entertainment Relations Kristen Prouty. Both parted ways with WWE in May of this year, with Blum resigning while Prouty was let go. Despite having some of his former execs on board, McMahon’s new company isn’t expected to be similar at all to WWE, and will instead focus on fiction and non-fiction projects.

McMahon’s reported attempt to re-establish himself in entertainment (albeit out of the wrestling) business comes at an interesting time. McMahon remains the focus of a Dept. of Justice investigation into him and his ‘hush money’ payments that came to light in 2022, as well as Janel Grant’s lawsuit. McMahon was recently the subject of Netflix’s six-part Mr. McMahon docuseries that has given a fresh take on his many scandals and controversies.

Whether Vince McMahon can forge a new career in entertainment with his new company, his name will forever be synonymous with wrestling, despite WWE’s efforts to distance themselves from him in 2024. Stays tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Vince McMahon’s life after leaving WWE, and this prospective new venture.

Earlier this month, a lawsuit was filed, alleging that WWE higher-ups knew of the ring boy scandal at the time, but did not attempt to prevent it. The scandal saw minors hired by the then-WWF allegedly sexually abused by some in the company, resulting in the firings of Pat Patterson, Mel Philips, and Terry Garvin, though Patterson was later rehired.

In a statement, Jessica T. Rosenberg, who is representing Vince McMahon, claimed that the allegations are “untrue and unfounded.” That statement also referenced Phil Mushnick, a reporter who was on the receiving end of a defamation lawsuit after reporting on the alleged abuse over 30 years ago.

In an interview with Post Wrestling, attorney Greg Gutzler, who is representing the plaintiffs, had the following response.

“If you read the 81-page complaint, you are going to see multiple facts, myriad facts, dozens of facts that have nothing to do with Phil Mushnick. We had the fact that we had Mel Phillips, shuttling young boys in plain sight, in front of WWE executives and wrestlers, from state to state. You have him in plain sight staying in hotel rooms with young boys. You have in plain sight Mel Phillips engaging in sexual foot fetishes in the ring in front of people, in the locker room in front of wrestlers, and he was even provided his private dressing room in certain areas. You have the FBI videotape, where the FBI said — the behavioral science unit said — this is consistent with pedophilia and sexual foot fetishes.”

The lawsuit alleges that Phillips exploited and sexually abused underage boys who had been underage boys who had been hired to perform tasks at WWE events. The abuse allegedly occurred in various locations, including wrestling venues and hotel rooms, where Phillips would transport the boys under the pretense of work-related errands.

This is an ongoing situation and we aim to provide updates as and when they become publicly available.  

A new lawsuit has been filed against WWE, TKO, and Vince & Linda McMahon, alleging that the McMahons were well aware of the infamous ‘Ring Boy Scandal’ of the early 1990s. The lawsuit has been brought on by five individuals who, according to the suit, feel empowered to come forward in the wake of regime changes in WWE and McMahon’s exit from the wrestling promotion earlier this year.

 In a statement to Brandon Thurston on Fightful Select, Rosenberg said:

“More than 30 years ago, the columnist Phil Mushnick tried to make headlines with these same false claims. Those allegations were never proven and ultimately became the subject of a defamation lawsuit against Mr. Mushnick. The negligence claims against Mr. McMahon that were asserted today rely on these same absurd, defamatory and utterly meritless statements by Mr. Mushnick. We will vigorously defend Mr. McMahon and are confident the court will find that these claims are untrue and unfounded.”

The Ring Boy Scandal came to light in 1992 when allegations against Mel Phillips, Terry Garvin, and Pat Patterson led to their firings from WWE. While Garvin and Phillips were permanently removed, Patterson was later rehired and remained with the company until his death in 2020.

The lawsuit alleges that Phillips exploited and sexually abused underage boys who had been underage boys who had been hired to perform tasks at WWE events. The abuse allegedly occurred in various locations, including wrestling venues and hotel rooms, where Phillips would transport the boys under the pretense of work-related errands. This is an ongoing situation and we aim to provide updates as and when they become publicly available.  

WWE has a long history of controversies, many of which have received a spotlight this year thanks to Netflix’s Mr. McMahon docuseries. Now, a new lawsuit has been filed against both Vince and Linda McMahon over the Ring Boy scandal of the early 1990s.

Law firms DiCello Levitt and Murphy, Falcon & Murphy have initiated a lawsuit against World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), Vincent K. McMahon, Linda McMahon, and TKO Group Holdings, Inc. The lawsuit is being brought on behalf of five survivors of sexual abuse, identified as John Does 1-5, who allege they were subjected to systemic abuse while working as “Ring Boys” for WWE during their youth.

The lawsuit centers on allegations against WWE’s former ringside announcer and ring crew chief, Melvin Phillips Jr. According to the plaintiffs, Phillips exploited and sexually abused underage boys who had been hired to perform tasks during WWE events. The abuse allegedly occurred in various locations, including wrestling venues and hotel rooms, where Phillips would transport the boys under the pretense of work-related errands. The lawsuit claims that WWE management, including Vince McMahon and Linda McMahon, were aware of this abuse but took no action to stop it.

The survivors, now adults, have only recently become aware of how much WWE executives, including the McMahons, knew of the abuse, the lawsuit states. The filing suggests that recent corporate changes, including the WWE’s acquisition by TKO Group Holdings and Vince McMahon’s departure as CEO, have empowered these survivors to come forward without fear of retaliation. Additionally, changes in sex abuse laws, particularly in Maryland, have paved the way for this legal action.

Greg Gutzler, a partner at DiCello Levitt and lead attorney for the plaintiffs, stated:

“Thanks to the bravery of our clients, we now have a chance to hold accountable those who allowed and enabled the rampant sexual abuse of these young boys. That so many knew about the abuse and did nothing to prevent or stop it is simply unconscionable.”

Mark DiCello, founding partner of DiCello Levitt, emphasized the significance of this case, stating:

“The WWE and McMahon had a responsibility to these underaged boys, and they failed them in the worst way possible. We will vigorously fight to uncover the truth about this systemic, insidious, and life-altering abuse. We commend our clients for their bravery in coming forward and promise to relentlessly seek justice for them.”

Professor Marci Hamilton, founder and CEO of CHILD USA, a nonprofit advocating for children’s rights, praised the survivors for coming forward:

“These survivors are profiles in courage. One-third of child sex abuse victims never come forward, silenced by shame, humiliation, and trauma.”

Hamilton stressed on the importance of statute of limitations reform, pointing out that “due to the Maryland window we fought for, these brave survivors can now seek justice.”

DiCello Levitt has a history of representing survivors in high-profile abuse cases, including the civil suit against disgraced fashion mogul Peter Nygard. This is a developing story and we seek to provide updates as and when they are available.

Friday’s episode of Piers Morgan’s YouTube show, Uncensored, featured former WWE employees Vince Russo, Charly Arnolt, Maven Huffman and Jonathan Coachman, discussing the current issues facing World Wrestling Entertainment and former owner Vince McMahon in the wake of Netflix’s Mr. McMahon six-part documentary.

McMahon is being investigated for criminal charges by a federal grand jury. McMahon, WWE, and former employee John Lauritnaitis are being sued in federal civil court for sex assault, sex trafficking and other complaints by former employee Janel Grant.

A clip of New York Post sports columnist Phil Muschnick was aired from the documentary, where he criticized McMahon and discussed his coverage of the WWF steroid trial in the 90s.

Mushnick’s image immediately drew the ire of several of Morgan’s guests. They were in for a bigger surprise later.

Mushnick then appeared as a surprise guest, catching fire from Huffman, Coachman and especially Russo.

Russo accusing Phil Muschnick of ignoring WWF’s steroid symposium and testing

Russo criticized Muschnick before he appeared on air for not covering the WWF steroid symposium that took place after McMahon was found not guilty in the steroid trial. He repeatedly took shots at Mushnick for his lack of coverage.

Muschnick eventually fired back, stating the man behind the symposium, Dr. Mauro DiPascale, was notorious for teaching how to cheat steroid tests.

DiPascale ran the WWF’s drug testing program for several years. He was also involved in programs with the World Bodybuilding Federation and worked with NASCAR. He’s written several books on what he calls the Anabolic diet.

One source told SEScoops that rumors of DiPascale’s showing how to cheat steroid tests were well known throughout the time he was with WWE and beforehand when he was one of the first to write about steroids. Muschnick also wrote about the allegations in 1999 shortly after the death of Owen Hart in his New York Post column.

Another source said DiPascale was known as the guy to go to in the bodybuilding committee if you wanted to beat steroid tests.

“A naive media filed stories portraying McMahon as a leader in the war on drugs,” Mushcnick wrote in his May 25, 1999 column about his drug testing program coming out of his early 90s steroid trial. “McMahon that day named his new drug czar: Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale, legendary among body-builders for his writings on how to beat drug tests.”

The column mentioned the deaths of Brian Pillman and Rick Rude.

In a 2019 interview with Bodybuilding.com, DiPascale criticized the medical establishment for how it handled steroids and doctors who felt they weren’t healthy or didn’t bring results.

“As well, being traditional and conservative by nature, they tend to follow the general moral consensus. If society in general condemns drug use by athletes, then so do they. Unfortunately they also tend to bend the information is such a way as to discourage behavior that they feel is morally or socially unacceptable.”

Later in the interview, DiPascale said one of his books, Drugs In Sports, was banned by the Canadian Olympic Committee. The interviewer also said the book was straightforward in showing how to beat drug tests.

DiPascale said he wrote his book purposely straightforward as an information guide on steroids.

Coachman, Russo, Maven said they never heard McMahon tell wrestlers to use steroids

Coachman said he spent more time with McMahon during his time period as his assistant than anyone in the company and never heard him talk about steroids.

Russo echoed the same point, stating he spent hundreds of hours with McMahon in the writer’s room and he never heard McMahon say a certain wrestler needed to begin taking steroids if they wanted to keep their job.

Maven Huffman said he told fans on Instagram that he had taken steroids. He said he was never told to by the company and he said he did it out of his own personal vanity.

But this doesn’t mesh at all with what other wrestlers have talked about WWE’s hard emphasis on the bodybuilder look for years.

Shortly before he died, Lance Cade (Lane McNaught), said in an interview he was told repeatedly while in OVW by members of talent relations that his work wasn’t sharp enough to get him called to the roster. Feeling he was being told indirectly that he wasn’t living up to what the company expected, McNaught said he began taking steroids. He was promoted to the main roster within a few months, and told his work had improved, despite little to no change his ability or his work to himself.

Shoot interviews are full of wrestlers, especially during the 2000s, telling stories of how they were demoted because “management” didn’t think they had the proper look. Sometimes this was a demotion to developmental “to get in shape”, other times wrestlers were put on the bottom of the card or taken off TV. This was common knowledge throughout the company and was talked about incessantly by talent in the company.

Mushnick calls McMahon a real life Hannibal Lecter

Mushnick hasn’t written about the Janel Grant case in the New York Post. He also didn’t mention it during his segment on Morgan’s show. He did mention the ring boy scandal of the early 1990s, and referred to it as a “pedophile ring.”

Morgan asked Mushnick how he viewed McMahon, and he said he saw him as a real life version of the fictional Hannibal Lecter, which earned guffaws from several of the WWE supporters during the segment.

Arnolt was asked if she had witnessed or been treated in a way that matched some of the allegations made against McMahon in his civil case. She said she hadn’t, hadn’t seen anything of that nature, but said there was some behavior that she could have taken to human resources, but also knew this was the nature of the wrestling business.

The lack of discussion about Grant was disappointing considering her lawsuit and the current criminal investigation in New York. More disappointing, was how quickly former WWE employees line up and are willing to fight battles for a company that either dismissed them, treated them badly or harassed them.

This was disappointing for several reasons. Russo mentioned he immediately left the WWF for WCW when he asked McMahon if he could spend more time at home with his family. McMahon said with the money he was making, he could afford to hire a nanny to raise his kids. He said this was his impetus for getting out of the company.

Coachman was once the victim of a vile prank by McMahon when he was put in charge of a football pool backstage, then real officers dragged him off and arrested him as a bookie as part of a vicious joke by McMahon. Coachman was also further bullied, but that didn’t change his attitude when he defended John Layfield behavior bullying announcer Mauro Rannallo when Coachman was working for ESPN.

Trump, McMahon similarities ‘are a positive’

Arnolt was asked by Morgan about McMahon and his friendship with presidential candidate and former president Donald Trump. She described them for their speak-first nature, but said they “shared positive traits.” Both McMahon and Trump have been accused of sex assault, rape and sexual assault by multiple women.

The work culture of World Wrestling Entertainment has been under scrutiny since Janel Grant filed her lawsuit against former Chairman Vince McMahon. Now more former employees have spoken up about unfair treatment during their time in the company.

Rolling Stone recently published a piece giving insight into the chaotic writer’s room under Vince’s leadership. Several former writers described the day-to-day hardships of working in the challenging environment in detail, including one saying that WWE is a ‘kingdom ruled by fear.’

The women who ended up a part of the mostly male-dominated space say that they became hyper-aware of their gender because of how they were treated. On the condition of anonymity, one former female writer claimed that she was touched inappropriately by her colleagues:

“They would touch me where they would have me come closer [to them], they would pull me by my waist to come somewhere or move closer to them. I’m just super aware that it’s kind of close to my butt and most people don’t touch me by the waist ever. I thought, ‘This is strange.’”

• Janel Grant fires back at Vince McMahon’s doctor, Peak Wellness with new court filing

While this behavior was not explicitly sexual, the female employee says that it felt like a means of controlling her in a way that didn’t happen to male writers.

Another former writer revealed that she was fired from her position when she complained to HR. When enough female writers complained about the treatment, a Zoom call was held by the leadership in 2020. While the writers were encouraged to speak on their issues, the leadership was ultimately dismissive of their problems.

The Zoom call was followed by an in-person meeting with the entire writer’s room. The leadership there allegedly told everyone not to go HR if they had any problems in the future and that they were acting like ‘middle schoolers.’

When asked about the allegations made into the Janel Grant lawsuit back in January, WWE’s current head of creative Triple H had told reporters that he didn’t want to get ‘bogged down’ by the negative and focus on the positives instead.

One former writer told Rolling Stone that they don’t believe there will be any major changes in the overall work culture of the company despite the leadership change. They said that there are ‘a lot of people complicit’ in continuing this culture and they don’t have faith that it can be undone overnight.

• McMahon Responds As Janel Grant Asks WWE To Waive NDAs for Others

Attorneys for Janel Grant filed a memorandum in Connecticut Superior Court on Tuesday in opposition to Dr. Carlon Colker and Peak Wellness to dismiss the bill of discovery complaint she filed in July.

Grant’s filing, a memorandum in law in opposition to plaintiff’s motion to dismiss, challenges several claims in Colker’s motion.

Grant’s memorandum in opposition claims McMahon was in contact with Colker during Grant’s treatment at Peak Wellness, from Nov. 22, 2019 to April 15, 2022.

The motion says the bill of discovery is necessary to see if there’s reason for Grant to file a suit against Colker and Peak Wellness in Connecticut Superior Court. It also reiterates claims from her bill of discovery complaint that Colker and Peak Wellness ignored requests for her electronic medical records and only sent incomplete forms on paper in violation of four different federal laws.

“Defendants (and Vince McMahon) have gone to great lengths to block Ms. Grant from accessing these documents relating to her own medical care,” the statement said.

Colker’s motion said. the bill of discovery complaint violated the stay requested by the FBI and other investigators in her civil case, which is paused until December. The judge in the federal civil case denied a motion to stop the bill of discovery complaint in federal court and said the court wasn’t the correct venue.

Grant’s counsel claims Colker’s attorney’s motion to dismiss was improperly filed and should have been a motion to strike; that Connecticut Superior Court has jurisdiction to hear the bill of discovery complaint; Grant’s bill of discovery has probable cause; McMahon, Laurinaitis and WWE are non-parties to the state action; any procedural issues mentioned by Colker’s counsel weren’t fact or have been fixed; Colker and Peak Wellness don’t dispute they were timely notified of the bill of discovery complaint; Connecticut precedent says courts should make every effort to adjudicate Grant’s action on its claims over procedural matters (Worth v. Picard).

“Ms. Grant filed this bill of discovery for the purpose of investigating potential claims of civil conspiracy, aiding and abetting, fraud, assault, battery, RICO, RICO conspiracy, and/or breach of fiduciary duty against Dr. Colker and Peak Wellness,” Grant’s motion said.

Grant filed the bill of discovery complaint in June claiming Colker and Peak Wellness refused to send her medical records and other information earlier this year for discovery in her federal civil suit against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis and World Wrestling Entertainment.

Colker and Peak Wellness filed a motion to dismiss the discovery complaint on Aug. 29 stating the discovery complaint wasn’t verified under Connecticut General Statute; the complaint is for a federal case and not a Connecticut state case; and Grant’s motion ignores “the very different and unique procedures for statutory bills of discovery.”

Colker and Peak Wellness counsel sent marshal to serve Grant personally

Grant’s motion of opposition states hours after the Federal judge refused to block her bill of discovery, Colker’s counsel had Grant served personally with their own bill of discovery instead of going through her counsel.

“In a move calculated to cause Ms. Grant extreme emotional distress, Defendants sent a marshal to effect personal service of their petition on Ms. Grant at her home, despite knowing she was represented by counsel,” the motion said.

Colker and Peak Wellness withdrew its bill of discovery after Grant’s counsel filed a motion to strike.

In press release, Grant’s counsel listed their discovery requests from Peak Wellness and Colker.

• Ms. Grant’s electronic medical records, including all associated metadata;
• Dr. Colker and Peak Wellness’ recordkeeping and billing procedures;
• Payment records relating to Ms. Grant;
• Dr. Colker and Peak Wellness’ payment arrangements with McMahon and/or WWE;
• The purpose of Ms. Grant’s prescribed treatments;
• The substance of Ms. Grant’s prescribed treatments;
• Any communications between Dr. Colker and McMahon relating to Ms. Grant; and
• Dr. Colker’s involvement in recommending Ms. Grant’s attorney for negotiation of the purported non-disclosure agreement.

“Imagine being at your most vulnerable, and the doctor you are told to see only makes you feel worse,” said Ann Callis, attorney for Janel Grant. “Our filing today makes clear that Dr. Colker violated ethical and medical standards when he injected unknown substances into Janel’s body and directed her to take unlabeled pills while dismissing her basic questions about those drugs. Peak Wellness owes Janel Grant answers and the clinic’s secrecy and evasion must come to an end.”

Callis, attorney Erica Nolan and SKDK firm spokesperson Kendra Barkoff Lemy will have a press call on Tuesday at 11 a.m.

Vince McMahon allegedly had no appreciation for the talent of Christian Cage while in WWE, but someone who does is his current boss Tony Khan.

Cage trended on social media on Thursday night after former WWE commentator Todd Grisham shared an antedote that Vince McMahon once gave him on the headset to hype Christian to the ring. Cage was set to go against then ECW Champion Jack Swagger, but Grisham very much undersold the surprise that was Christian Cage.

Khan would then go on X to make his own post to say “Christian Cage is the man.” Khan also has an immense amount of respect for Cage’s former partner, Adam Copeland, noting of his efforts to help those affected by Hurricane Helene.

Cage did have a World Heavyweight Title reign while in WWE, but the veteran could still that in AEW. The company’s ‘Father Figure’ has a World Title contract he can cash in at anytime.

As it stands now, Jon Moxley will challenge Bryan Danielson for the AEW World Championship this Saturday night at WrestleDream, but one of wrestling’s top heels isn’t beyond inserting himself into the equation. Cage has tried to do so previously against Danielson, but was thwarted by Claudio Castagnoli and PAC.

Janel Grant has asked WWE to waive nondisclosure agreements with other former and current employees and talent so that they can potentially come forward with allegations of misconduct under the promotion’s watch. The Associated Press reports that a lawyer for Grant emailed a letter making the request on Monday evening to attorneys representing WWE, Vince McMahon, and John Laurinaitis.

The e-mail, as sent by Grant’s attorney Ann Callis, states that “WWE continues to protect former CEO Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis by silencing survivors of sexual abuse, harassment and workplace violence.” It goes on to state that WWE is unable to move on from its “sordid past” while “victims remain silenced” by these nondisclosure agreements. It adds:

“We urge WWE to quickly and proactively release its current and former employees and contractors from any obligations under any WWE-executed NDA that would prevent them from discussing sexual misconduct, abuse, or assault during their time at WWE without delay. WWE wants people to believe the company has changed—this is its chance to prove it.”

When approached, Curtis Vogal, a spokesperson for McMahon, declined to comment. WWE and Laurinaitis did not immediately return emails seeking comment and contact to Endeavor and TKO Group Holdings were not returned immediately. McMahon has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and has claimed that the relationship he had with Grant was between two consenting individuals.

When approached by Wrestlenomics, McMahon’s team referred to attorney Jessica Rosenberg’s prior statement:

“Ms. Grant’s claims are false, defamatory and entirely without merit. We intend to vigorously defend Mr. McMahon and are confident that he will be vindicated.”

Following Grant’s lawsuit being filed, Ann Callis said that she had been “frankly overwhelmed” by the number of others that have come forward with similar accusations. McMahon is reported to have paid over $12 million to four women in exchange for their silence over his extramarital affairs. Grant alleges that McMahon forced her into a sexual relationship so that she could keep her job and later directed her to have relations with others in WWE, including Laurinaitis.

Grant did not appear in Netflix’s recent Mr. McMahon docuseries, though her claims against the billionaire make up much of the series’ final episode. Callis has said that the six, hour-long episodes only scratch the surface of McMahon’s alleged criminal behavior. This is an ongoing situation and SEScoops will continue to monitor this case for further updates.

Martha Hart, widow of WWE legend Owen Hart recently claimed that she was not contacted for Vince McMahon’s six-part docuseries, ‘Mr. McMahon’ and she has criticized Vince’s remarks on Owen’s death.

The docuseries captured the life and career of the former WWE Chairman. During the series, Owen Hart’s tragic death at WWE Over The Edge 1999 was discussed. Hart’s rappel malfunctioned and he fell 78 ft. He landed chest-first on the top rope and passed away. Vince McMahon had infamously continued the show despite the tragic accident which drew massive flak. During the documentary, Vince defended his decision to continue the show, saying “people came to see a show.”

Owen’s widow Martha Hart spoke to Daily Hive and criticized Vince’s comments on Owen’s death. She further revealed that she was not contacted for the documentary. She said:

“Netflix’s Mr. McMahon documentary series portrays the death of my husband, Owen Hart, as a mere accident. It also allows the disgraced former owner and CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), Vince McMahon, to claim that Owen’s death ‘wasn’t our fault.’ Nothing could be further from the truth.

To be clear, no one involved in the making of this documentary attempted to contact me for comment or to obtain an accurate perspective. I continue to hold WWE and its then-management responsible for Owen’s death. I refuse to let Vince McMahon or anyone else rewrite that history. Instead, I remain focused on honouring Owen’s legacy through the charitable good work of the Owen Hart Foundation and via the AEW Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.”

Martha has bashed WWE for being negligent in the tragic incident but McMahon has blamed an equipment malfunction. Owen Hart’s widow stated that WWE’s negligence and hiring of unqualified riggers led to Owen’s death.

“What the documentary fails to mention is that the equipment used was never meant for a rappelling stunt,” she said. “Instead, a harness meant for dragging stunt people behind cars on movie shoots was used with a sailboat clip meant to release on load with only six pounds of pressure. Had the WWE hired qualified riggers who followed proper protocol that included redundancy, as is typical practice, and used the correct equipment, Owen would not have died that night.”

Martha Hart runs The Owen Hart Foundation which is a Calgary-based charity that provides university/college scholarships for needy children as well as housing for low-income families. In 2021, AEW started the Owen Hart Cup tournament, honoring the legacy of Owen Hart in collaboration with The Owen Hart Foundation. Martha Hart, the founder and director of the charity, has also made a handful of appearances in the promotion.

Netflix’s Mr. McMahon docuseries was released last month and has given viewers an in-depth look into Vince McMahon, even if the six-part series is light on new information. In addition to Vince, several members of the McMahon family were interviewed, but Linda was reluctant to share according to the show’s consulting producer.

Speaking to the SI Media Podcast, David Shoemaker was asked if Vince McMahon was forthcoming with information and shared how Linda was reluctant to speak.

“You asked about Vince not giving you anything, Linda was not the most forthcoming person in that interview either. I think I was there for that one, I don’t even remember if there was more good stuff on the cutting room floor. I certainly wish we could have gotten more details about that from her. It’s a very business relationship, I would say.”

It’s hardly a surprise that Linda, who remains a name in politics, was hardly eager to talk about WWE’s past controversies, many of which occurred under her watch as CEO. Similarly, Linda would be understandably reluctant to speak on her husband’s infidelity and alleged trafficking of Janel Grant, the topic for Mr. McMahon’s sixth and final episode.

Linda McMahon hasn’t appeared for WWE in years but her name remains known to countless wrestling fans around the world. While the former CEO of WWE would have endless stories about the company, fans may never hear about the seedier side of wrestling from the 75-year-old.

Tony Khan appeared on the Quinn & Cantara podcast to promote Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite’s 5-year Anniversary special.

During the conversation, the AEW & ROH President was asked if he’s had a chance to check out the Netflix “Mr. McMahon” docu-series that’s been dominating the news cycle since its release last week. Khan says he’s been too busy to see what all the fuss is about, and was quick to point out he’s never met him or worked with him.

“No, I’ve been so busy with football and wrestling that I have not seen that documentary.”

Khan was quick to distance himself from the former WWE boss, stating:

“I’ve never met him and have never really worked with him.”

AEW As the Challenger Brand

Khan has long prided himself in All Elite Wrestling being the “challenger” brand to the decades-long industry leader, WWE. Ahead of Wednesday’s big event, Khan took a moment to reflect on the journey thus far.

“I have grown up as a wrestling fan and historian of the pro wrestling business, so absolutely, we love being the challenger promotion and trying to grow and build AEW from the ground up.

It’s only been five years and we’ve done a lot in that time.”

Netflix’s Mr. McMahon docuseries has finally been released on the streaming juggernaut, four years after the project was first announced. The six-part series delves into some of McMahon’s most controversial moments, though critics feel it fails to reveal anything that hasn’t already been covered.

One name fans don’t see over the six, one-hour long episodes is Janel Grant whose lawsuit alleging sexual abuse and trafficking resulted in McMahon’s WWE exit in January this year. In a statement shared with Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, Grant’s lawyer Ann Callid argued that Netflix’s docuseries has shown McMahon’s true colors.

“The ‘Mr. McMahon’ docuseries makes it clear there is no difference between Vince McMahon’s on-air persona and his true self, they are one and the same. His “character” – known for violent outbursts, sexual deviance, and manipulation – is the real Vince McMahon and exactly what Janel Grant experienced behind closed doors at WWE for years.”

Callis adds that the the series only scratches the surface of McMahon’s alleged criminal activities, and is hopeful for Grant to have her own chance to tell her story her way.

“While the docuseries put McMahon’s obsession with power and control on full display, it only scratches the surface of his criminal behavior and it fails to tell the full story of his abuse, sexual assault, and human trafficking of Ms. Grant. She deserves the opportunity to tell her story, on her own time, and in her own way. We look forward to her day in court and to seeing McMahon at last held accountable for his actions.”

Grant’s comments echo her previous statement, released before Mr. McMahon launched on Netflix, in which she addressed McMahon insisting that what happened with Grant was a consensual affair. The interviews conducted with McMahon took place before Grant’s lawsuit went public, and as a title card in the doc states, McMahon refused to take more questions after that.

In a rare public statement of his own, McMahon has distanced himself from the project, claiming he was misrepresented by selected editing, outdated soundbites, and out-of-context footage. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Netflix’s docuseries which is proving to be a huge topic of discussion in the world of wrestling.

Vince McMahon, the former CEO and Chairman of WWE, has been a controversial figure both on and off-screen throughout his career. His outrageous on-screen persona, “Mr. McMahon,” has been involved in some of the most shocking and memorable segments in WWE history. Let’s rank the most controversial Vince McMahon WWE segments that have left fans talking for years.

5. Vince McMahon Makes Out with Trish Stratus in front of his wife

• The Higher Power Reveal: McMahon’s unveiling as the leader of the Ministry of Darkness shocked audiences.
• McMahon-Helmsley Era: The revelation of Stephanie McMahon’s alliance with Triple H kicked off a dominant heel faction.
• Vince McMahon’s Limo Explosion: A storyline where McMahon appeared to die in a limo explosion, which was later dropped due to real-life tragedy.

Vince McMahon’s controversial segments have often pushed the boundaries of good taste and acceptable content on television. While some of these moments are remembered as peak entertainment of the Attitude Era, others are viewed as examples of how far wrestling storylines can go astray.

The reviews are in for Netflix’s Mr. McMahon docuseries, with the consensus being that a more thorough in-depth analysis could have been conducted on WWE’s ex-CEO.

The six-part series was first announced in 2020 with interviews beginning the following year, before the ‘hush money’ scandal that forced McMahon into retirement in 2022. While McMahon was interviewed for the project, his clips come from before Janel Grant’s lawsuit in January 2024 that resulted in McMahon’s second exile. As a card in the doc states, McMahon refused to give any more interviews after Grant’s lawsuit went public and McMahon himself has distanced himself from the series.

The Reviews Are In

Garrett Martin of Paste Magazine is among those who believe Mr. McMahon comes up short when trying to give a complete picture of arguably wrestling’s most controversial figure, and again fails to demonstrate the harm McMahon’s tactics have had on others.

“Mr. McMahon fails to paint a full portrait of the man, or to fully contend with the negative impact he’s had on so many. And interviewing him doesn’t add much of value.”

Ryan Woodrow of Men’s Journal agrees that while the docuseries could have given further analysis, it does at least cover the bulk of McMahon’s many controversies.

“It digs up every skeleton he has and puts it on display – even if I don’t think it adequately examines most of them.”

The Wall Street Journal’s John Anderson has a more favorable review, arguing that this documentary series will be the closest analysis fans will get of the 79-year-old McMahon.

“[Chris] Smith [the Filmmaker] probably gives us as honest a portrait of his subject as one is likely to get—despite Mr. McMahon’s claims of being a sphinx, something with which his ex-employees concur.”

Adam Silverstein of CBS Sports believes that the series will prove to be ground-breaking for those unfamiliar with McMahon, but light on revelations for its core audience.

“Those unfamiliar with the intimate details about McMahon’s personal and business life will receive a thorough education. Die-hard wrestling fans will be familiar with nearly all of the stories and controversies.”

And BJ Colangelo of Slash Film believes that a phrase from McMahon’s repertoire is best suited to describe Mr. McMahon.

“This Netflix docuseries didn’t screw Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon screwed Vince McMahon.”

Mr. McMahon premieres Wednesday, Sept. 25 on Netflix.

In 2024, kayfabe is a fluid entity in professional wrestling, with many wrestlers acting out of character out of the ring and on social media. In 1996 though, kayfabe was strictly maintained, until a quartet of wrestlers decided to ‘kill’ professional wrestling in the eyes of Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart’

The Curtain Call – What Happened?

On May 19, 1996, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall wrestled their final WWF matches before leaving for WCW with Hall beating Triple H while Nash lost to Shawn Michaels. After the latter match, the four friends embraced and posed in the ring, despite Nash and Triple H being heels while Michaels and Hall were faces. The incident was dubbed ‘The Curtain Call’ as it pulled back the curtain to fans, shattering kayfabe for the live crowd in MSG.

Bret Hart – The Kliq Killed Wrestling

Appearing on Netflix’s Mr. McMahon docuseries, Hart makes his views clear on the actions of The Kliq, who he believes changed the perception of wrestling on that night in New York.

“They killed wrestling that day. That was when wrestling wasn’t real anymore. We’d pulled the curtain back and said, ‘This is how it works.’ That was the unveiling of the new direction that wrestling would be. It’s not wrestling anymore. It’s entertainment.”

The Hitman Punches McMahon

Hart’s feelings on The Kliq are similar to those of McMahon, who opted not to punish Michaels, the newly-crowned WWF Champion at the time. In the docuseries, Hart recalls attacking McMahon after the Montreal Screwjob and makes his current feelings on the former WWE Chairman crystal clear.

“[Punching McMahon was] Probably the best thing I ever did and he deserved every bit of that.”

Netflix’s Mr. McMahon has proven to be a captivating watch and offers insight from those who know the controversial billionaire best. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest from Bret Hart as the Hitman isn’t holding back with his views on the world of wrestling.
