The number of people who are acting like the Janel Grant lawsuit is only about Vince and now that he's out, all investigation into the company itself should stop are, much like HHH, actively ignoring the lawsuit. I literally just reread it and let me take you through it here.

First off, kinda important, the lawsuit isn't Janel Grant vs. Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis, it's Grant vs. Vince, John aaaaaaaaaaaand...the WWE. The whole company. And the suit explains why.

So first, you have her laying out that a high ranking WWE exec knew "exactly" who she was, despite the fact that she worked in a different building and was the kind of lower tier employee a top guy typically wouldn't know shit about.

"Ok Trev, that's very circumstantial." Ok, here's Vince literally telling Grant that said exec, and another exec, had been told who she was by Vince. You know how it is, when you hold a private meeting with two top execs about some random lower level employee.

"Trev, maybe he just wanted to tell them about this cool new employee he heard about." Well, Vince then apparently told her that these execs asked if she could be trusted, which is the kind of question you ask when you know someone is doing shit they shouldn't be doing.

Here is Grant adding that these two execs continued to be really involved with/aware of the goings on of this employee way below their paygrade, even though that typically did not happen.

There then is the fact when she starts getting taken to meetings with the top execs, which again, was weird special treatment, to the point where she was literally asking the two execs with knowledge of her "Hey, is this even cool that I'm being brought here?"

Then, one of these two mystery execs tells Vince that there's a LOT of rumors about Vince and Grant going around, and so Vince proceeds to hide her in the fucking XFL for a time.

Now add in a high ranking WWE legal department employee who Vince tells Grant either knows or suspects what's going on between them and that he was telling that to another WWE exec. What happens to this person? They either get fired or forced to resign.

When Grant prepares to sign the NDA, who draws up a to-do list of things for her to do in the process? Not Vince, not a lawyer, but one of these two high ranking mystery WWE execs.

In fact, as this is drawing to a close, at one point Vince tells Grant that they probably aren't going to talk anymore and instructs her that if she needs anything, to contact either of the two mystery execs.

Here's Grant saying yet another, different WWE exec, the fourth we're naming in this tweet thread, knew about OTHER inappropriate sexual conducts Vince had.

Grant then goes on to say that hey, people in WWE knew not just about me, but that it was a common thing for Vince and Laurinaitis to coerce or outright force girls into sex, using these job opportunities. She's saying WWE didn't just know about her, but a pattern of behavior.

Note I'm omitting all the Laurinaitis stuff, I'm omitting the Brock stuff, I'm omitting Vince showing pics of her to production people. I'm omitting Vince showing her pics to a WWE ref, who then jacks off about it and shows her pics to other people. I'm focusing on mystery execs

Grant points out "Look at the number of people, from low level employees to top level players who knew something", and then adds in "Not only did they know, some of them could even hear it fucking happening through the walls of the offices it was taking place in."

Grant's team then makes an additional argument on top of "A lot of people knew this was happening to varying degrees" which is "If they didn't know, based on the fact Vince had 800 allegations before, they should've known, and this publicly traded company should've protected me."

The number of people who want this story to stop at Vince, who act like he was an isolated problem, is depressing. The suit says a ton of people knew at least some of what was going on, and that two very high ranking guys had their hands pretty dirty helping Vince manage her.

This is not just a Vince story, it's a story of a company where the kinds of things that happened to Grant were common enough that people at every stage of the company knew the score, accepted it, enjoyed the perks of it, and sometimes helped cover it up,

All of that is why you keep asking questions of HHH, of Nick Khan, or Ari Emanuel. It's why you don't go "Oh Vince and Johnny Ace are gone, problem solved." Because the problem isn't solved, because the case isn't just against Vince and Johnny Ace.

So to sum up, my main point is obviously #justiceforcody #frecody #codyistherealstory #dontthinkaboutanythingelse
