Considering that Papa Vince took half a billion dollars from the evil Saudi Arabian government to bring shows to the Middle East, shows that cannot include women, and clearly ignore the political climate, it shows you Vince only cares about the money, until the optics get muddy like P.O. said.

Virtue-signal harder? >_>

Almost like it's for a... point?
That working with someone who is clearly a pretty bad guy just because of money... isn't a good indicator of moral standing.

What point? That it's trendy to hate on Saudi Arabia for doing many of the same things we give a free pass to other governments for, including our own?

but taking half a billion dollars from an evil dictator might be my personal line.

Which might be a good argument if you weren't so selective with your outrage. When any number of celebrities (including Beyonce) do something for the Sultan of Brunei or his offspring, nobody on this board seems to care despite the fact that the country has the death penalty for blasphemy, sodomy, etc.

And I think if you are saying this crap in a semi public forum then what are you saying behind closed doors?

...what semi-public forum? He was *literally* saying it behind closed doors. He wasn't hosting a private event where he was banging his friend's wife, he was doing it in a setting where he had every expectation of privacy.

As for what else he might be saying behind closed doors, if he was actively making racist comments that would have leaked out years ago. And personally I'm a bit more worried about people *doing* awful things than just privately saying or thinking awful things (unless they're a politician rather than just an entertainer). There are countless actors I think are absolutely awful human beings, but I still enjoy their work. Likewise, I think John Cena is probably a very nice guy but that's never made me give two shits about him as a wrestler.

Personally, I don't give a shit about what he said, but then again, I also don't really give a shit about Hulk Hogan at this point either. So I'm not super-invested in whether or not he comes back.

I'd love for him to come back, but it's not like he can really do anything these days and even his guest appearances have been pretty lousy.
