All right. So let's see here. WWE. Jelly made me watch the, um, the wrestling the other night. It made me watch Summer Slam, as it were. And, um, it was a two-nighter. Why do these wrestling events need to be two nights? Like, I get why WrestleMania needs to be, because it's like your big deal. And if you want to get everybody involved and, and I'm also not naive. I know you're trying to make money and get people to watch. And like, so I'm not stupid. I'm fully aware of how all this shit works. I'm not a moron. But still, as I watch this, I'm like, do I really need two nights of this? And the last night, Sunday night, John Cena's wrestling, and Brock Lesnar shows up at the end. And nobody expected that because Brock Lesnar, his name has been involved in this thing with Vince McMahon, where Vince McMahon was basically trying to hoard this employee of his out to wrestlers,

including Brock Lesnar being the most prominent name in there. And so there's a whole lawsuit involved and everything. So, whatever. So people were truly shocked to see Brock Lesnar return. And now, what we're dealing with is a whole backlash from certain people. There's a group of people who think this is the worst thing ever. And there's a group of people who think, hey, he didn't do anything wrong or he hasn't been charged or convicted of any sort of crime. So it's an interesting thing.

Let me play a couple of commercials. And we will continue. So here's the story. So Janelle Grant is the name of the woman who was basically. being used and abused by Vince McMahon and maybe some other wrestlers. Headline reads, Janelle Grant Rep on Brock Lesner return to WWE, attempt to sweet misconduct under the rug. One of WWE's biggest returns has caused backlash.

After the main event of SummerSlam 2025, fans were stunned to see Brock Lesnar returned to WWE for the first time since 2023. He emerged to thunderous ovations as he attacked John Sina as the show closed. Now, every story about this that you hear from the insiders is that John Sina basically hand-picked Brock Lesner to have

his last storyline with, so when he ends his career, it's going to be in a match against Brock Lesner. Lesnar is one of the WWE's biggest stars, but he spent nearly two full years away from the company amid the Vince McMahon lawsuit. In January 2024, former W.W.E. employee, Janelle Grant,

sued McMahon, alleging the wrestling company's founder, took part in sex trafficking and put her through sexual acts that were done with, quote, extreme cruelty and degradation. Lesner is mentioned in the lawsuit as someone that McMahon offered sexual encounters to with Grant, but I don't think he actually did anything or didn't go through with most of them. For too long, abuse was allowed to thrive under WWE's leadership instead of writing this wrong. WWE has done nothing to ensure those responsible or held accountable. This attempt to sweep misconduct under the rug will backfire, the spokesperson said. We look forward to the full set of facts, including those about Mr. Lesnar, coming out in a court of law where they belong. So here's what the information is about Brock

Lesnar in this. The suit claims that McMahon used Grant as an incentive for a WWE star to resign with the company offering a sexual encounter with Grant for the star. The star isn't named in the suit, but the Wall Street Journal identified them as Lesner as. As alleged, Lesnar went to WWE headquarters in Connecticut as McMahon offered a sexual encounter with Grant, but it did not happen, quote, because he was too intoxicated and taken back to the plane. Here's my problem with this and why this guy's a fucking creep, right? Why, they're both fucking creeps, but, like, you're Brock Lesnar, you're one of the biggest

stars in wrestling, you're a giant name, people know who you are, you're a celebrity. Like, what kind of fucking meathead of a person are you that, like, someone offers this up to you and you're like, yep, flying to town so I can bang this chick. Like, I feel like, and it's not like she wants to do it. Like you know, and I don't know what Vince McMahon's telling you, but I feel pretty confident that you know that this chick's being offered up to you as some sort of bribe. Therefore, she's being offered up as some sort of like token or some sort of prize for you to resign. Like, I'm not here to sit here and judge people. I don't know what he did or didn't do and I don't know what is true and what isn't true. But just looking at it

from afar. You're a giant celebrity, and if you want to bang chicks, you can probably bang chicks. What is it about this particular chick? Like, Vince McMahon's like, hey, come fuck this chick and re-sign with WWE, and you're like, yeah, that tracks? Sounds like a plan.

Like, I don't know, man. It just sounds like, I'm not against Brock Lesnar coming back and I'm not one of these people that's out here like waving my fists and saying this is terrible. In fact, I give Triple H a lot of credit who's in charge of this shit now, Triple H basically does shit just to throw double birds at these people on the

internet, the internet fanboys, the people who say AEW is better, the people who constantly bitch about the content of wrestling. All he does is shit to swerve these people, and I give him credit. The Lesner thing, they said Lesnar's never coming back, boom, he comes back. Like, these storylines are good. You know, you see with Seth Rollins acting like he had a broken leg or whatever forever, and they didn't have a broken leg and nobody knew it. Like, I enjoy that Triple H. And by the way, I've been watching the show. I think I've got one episode left of the, or maybe two episodes left, of the wrestling documentary that has people all worked up on Netflix because some think you shouldn't share the secrets or whatever. I think it's fascinating

because the reality is people know that wrestling isn't real and people are fascinated by the behind-the-scenes aspect of wrestling. So if you haven't watched this documentary, it's a think a five-parter, I'm finished with episode three. So I think I have two episodes left of this. It's fascinating to watch how all this comes together and the thought that goes into it. It's actually fascinating, and it's pretty fucking cool. But what I like about Triple H is that Triple H is sitting out here. Like, I'm going to do everything I can just to screw with these other people. Like, I'm going to make their lives difficult by screwing with them.

These fans, these wrestling fanboys, they call them Marks, or smart marks, these people who think they know everything. They bitch on the internet. They're want to be Dave Meltzer dirt sheet riders. They're people that want to be writers for the WWE, and they sit around all day and they hate everything the WWE does, and they think everything these little shitty wrestling promotions do are great. And I truly think that Triple H just looks at these dipshits and says, I'm going to do everything that I know is going to piss them off, and he does a fantastic job with it. So, like, that to me, if the WWE knows the severity of the situation,

They know that the guy that's the founder of this whole thing is now out of this thing because of this sexual assault stuff. They know this. So, like, what does Triple H know? Like, I think people are just looking at this, like, Triple H is desperate to get some sort of pop here. So, like, he's willing to sacrifice the integrity and bring back a guy who's a sexual predator. What does he know? Because I don't think that Triple H is stupid. And I think he's pretty good at what he does.

So what does Triple H know that we do? don't know. Now, it could very well just be a situation where there's not enough to bring Brock Lesnar down in this whole thing, and they know that, so they're like, screw it, let's bring him back. Sina wants to work with him, whatever. But what do they know? What do they know about what direction this thing is going? I'm intrigued by this. Grant alleges McMahon ordered her in July 2021 to create a personalized sexual content for the WWE star, and he told McMahon, quote, he likes what he sees. The star also later expressed. the desire to, quote, set a play date, but a snowstorm changed the star's plans.

No sexual encounters are alleged in the lawsuit. So I'd say that best case scenario in this is that he's a horn dog that's looking to bang somebody. Maybe Lesnar didn't fully understand, and maybe I'm giving him too much credit here, but maybe he didn't fully understand the extent of what was happening. How does he know, like is Vince McMahon sending him a message saying, hey, dude, this chick wants to hook up with you come hook up with her, I told him he would. But does he know that Vince McMahon is basically sex trafficking this check? Does he know that?

Like, that's a fair question. It's a legit question. I don't know. The return also came as WWE ditched having traditional press conferences after premium live events, which offered reporters the chance to ask stars and WWE chief content officer Paul Triple H. Leveck questions. Instead, WWE held a SummerSlam post show hosted by its panel. Levec said the dynamic of the room changes with Lesnar back with the company. anything you thought was happening sort of all goes out the window because the factor of Brock now just changes the dynamic and makes it so unpredictable incredible to have him back Levex said what does he know because given what the WWE has dealt with over the last two years and like they're bouncing back it seems like this thing didn't cripple them or kill them right they had to run off Vince McMahon but for the most part this hasn't killed them what does he know because it's a giant

risk to bring back somebody and look and they're willing to do things that piss off the internet and piss off people they've had a two weeks long celebration of holcogan who half of the internet thinks as the biggest scumbag racist on the planet right so they've they clearly show that they are willing to take some chances and do some things that are going to be considered uh you know bad by some that are considered wrong so you bring back now there's a possibility that maybe they're just fucking lunatics and they don't give a shit and they're like watch this, watch this, watch this. But in today's climate, quote unquote, in the climate that we deal with today, I don't

believe that the WWE, that Paul Levec, that Triple H, that all these people involved in this world that we're in would be so willing to bring back someone who they thought legitimately was a gigantic piece of shit. And not just like perceived to be a piece of shit. Like, you know, Hulk Hogan says the N-word on a video, but that's not a legal thing. We're talking about a guy who might be a sexual predator and may have been. involved in sex trafficking, right? What do they know?

What does the WWE? What does Triple H? What do all of them know about what's going on with the situation with Brock Lesner? They obviously know something that leaves them to believe that this guy didn't do anything wrong or what he did didn't fall under the category of terrible. Because even if so, like let's say it is a situation where John Sina wants to work with him. And that's like a demand. Like, I want to work with Brock Lesnar and my last thing. They could go to Brock and say, listen, dude, there's just too much fucking baggage.

We can't do it. But they didn't do that. So what do they know that we don't know? That's the most intriguing question about all of this. What do the guys in WWE know about all of this that none of us know? Or they just may not give a shit. Maybe I'm giving them too much credit. Maybe they just don't care.

Maybe Brock Lesner is a piece of shit. And they're like, oh, it's been two years. This thing's going nowhere. Fuck it. Brock Lesnar's back. I don't know. But it's certainly fascinating in the way the world's reacting to it. It's typical in the way the world's reacting to it.

So it's pretty crazy. But anyway, more to come.
