First, the pre-Presidential smack-down video, Trump already WWE tested, having shown the needed bullshit spewing (there, on the campaign trail and in the White House).
MOREOVER, McMahon and Trump have more in common. Hush money.
And each with matching gag orders. McMahon paid more, but than Trump's always been a stingy shit. With Cohen the better negotiator; Cohen negotiated six figures twice, vs McMahon, seven figures, once.
Strib noting:
Vince McMahon is stepping down as CEO and chairman of WWE during an an investigation into alleged misconduct involving the longtime leader and public face of the organization.
McMahon will continue to oversee WWE's creative content during the investigation, World Wrestling Entertainment said Friday, and named McMahon's daughter, Stephanie, as interim CEO and chairwoman.
Vince McMahon appeared on "SmackDown" Friday.
The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that WWE was investigating an alleged $3 million payment from McMahon to a departing female employee following a consensual affair.
"I have pledged my complete cooperation to the investigation by the special committee, and I will do everything possible to support the investigation," McMahon said in a prepared statement Friday. "I have also pledged to accept the findings and outcome of the investigation, whatever they are."
The employee, hired as a paralegal in 2019, has a separation agreement from January that prevents her from discussing her relationship with McMahon or disparaging him, the Journal reported.
The pair fits each other, capable of contesting for most outrageous, most egregious (Trump, as in the much-watched video, winning the title).
UPDATE: Another parallel, for each "the base" is the same. Counterpunch. The feature and the fans, each instance, parallel if not identical. One will never go broke underestimating the intelligence of a WWE fan.
