So there's been a huge movement in Hollywood and Politics since the Harvey Weinstein news with woman coming forward about the sexual assault they've faced over the years by powerful men.

We all know the wrestling is a seedy business, and I'm just waiting for the shoe to drop on some of wrestling's big names. Does anyone else think the industry (and in particular the WWE) is going to be caught up in this soon? To me it's when not if ... but what do you think?

I think this is exactly why they just had the Mae Young Classic and not the Moolah classic - because they know there will be slow enough news day some day soon when someone digs up all of their dirt.

Well it wouldn't be the first time..

Well, Ashley Massaro claimed " that she was sexually assaulted at a US military base during a WWE tour of Kuwait and that WWE apologized but persuaded her not to report it to the appropriate authorities " - what that entails, we don't know.

I remember reading an ignorant comment years ago, it was something through the dirt sheets that, WWE had hired all these women in the early 2000s to basically entertain the boys, and to ensure whatever was going on, stayed some what within their control.



Then, there's Pat Patterson and Rob Feinstein.

Wasn't Michael Hayse involved in something not to long ago?

This summarizes of bit of the known history rather well.

Vince is a powder keg waiting to explode in a fire of controversy I would bet. He has to have a ton of accusers just waiting.

I would say, unless it's an incredibly heinous act, some what similar in impact to the Benoit situation or unless it's John Cena or The Rock - the mainstream media won't really take notice.

The majority of workers, have a limited life-span in wrestling and usually fall back into obscurity - there's not much a story unfortunately for the press there.

Louis CK got his dick out a few times. War Machine, the MMA fighter kidnaps, beats and attempts to rape his girlfriend. I bet your Mum could tell you all about the depraved and despicable Louis CK but would have no idea who War Machine is, despite the seriously of his crimes. There's limited cross-over into the mainstream.

So pretty much only the Rock and Vince?  Mostly the Rock

Mick Foley. 

The accuser was 15 at the time, she was born in 1975. So I'm guessing 1990'ish. Foley would have been 25'ish. 

She's a wrestler, promoter and identifies herself a former " wrestling groupie "

War machine's victim was Christy Mack, she was (is?) a porn star. Because of her occupation according to mainstream society / media she is a bad person and not worth reporting on.
