He covered up a lot of the wrestling dirtsheets that were damaging to WWE in the short or the long run. The most famous example is Hulk Hogan. Now, granted, Peter Thiel took care of that lawsuit, but he (Vince) did a lot of scrubbing to protect him.
90's was full of Vince scandals, the most famous one is the steroids controversy.
This one though, Vince can't crawl himself out of this one. You thought Dr Disrespect was bad, just look at Vince. Now granted, it wasn't age differential - more like hiding YEARS of his infidelity towards Linda. This goes back to 90's. We knew about his scandals around this, so today? Its just a snowball running down, and that molehill just got big.
I also think that the woman/women accusing him of the abuse are looking for a payday. Otherwise why 20 years later? Cancel Culture bites again. Women having too much fun with this shit and its getting tired.
That said, he deserved it all. The first infidelity case would've been like, eh... but repeated cases? I'm sorry, you fucking deserve it.
There are cases where Vince would favor women in the divas/women division in exchange for a push.
Trish Stratus is the biggest example of this. It was a whole thing. Its not just a on-screen script, gimmick or personal thing. All wrapped into one scandal. You couldn't even tell which story was true.
