Board Member Resigns Day Before Wall Street Journal Scoop
A potentially tantalizing twist in the Vince McMahon hush-money scandal as Dave Meltzer is reporting on what he described as a suspicious exit for a member from the WWE’s Board of Directors.
The Meltz noted on Wrestling Observer that board member Connor Schell resigned from the board the Thursday before last week Friday’s Wall Street Journal bombshell story which revealed Vince McMahon paid $12 million for several women to sign nondisclosure agreements regarding alleged misconduct:
“When Connor Schell left the company on Thursday, it did seem very suspicious. Especially because he knew the story was coming on Friday. And it did.”

Meltzer noted that Schell’s departure was reported as arising from:
“an increased slate of responsibilities resulting from his new, expanded role at the newly formed The North Road Company, a global, multi-genre content studio. Mr. Schell’s decision to resign from the Board was not due to any dispute or disagreement with the Company, its management or the Board on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.”

Tantalizing Twist in McMahon Scandal: Coincidencental Exit?
Nonetheless, Meltzer hinted that the departure might not have been coincidental:
“There’s no evidence of Connor Schell leaving over that, but someone abruptly leaving the day before the story breaks, who knows the story’s gonna break, and also is one of the people who’s aware of what is going on in the investigation, more than almost anyone, it’s a very curious move without a doubt.”

Meltzer musing that the move is “curious” makes WrestleLamia believe Dave feels there’s more to the story than the WWE is letting on:
“They sold it as ‘he had other business endeavors and he didn’t have the time for (WWE)’, but that’s highly unusual to leave without giving a couple months’ notice for people to replace him and things like that.”

As WrestleLamia discussed in our past videos about McMahon’s hush-money scandal, it’s possible a board member leaked information about the board’s investigation to The Wall Street Journal or that a board member used a proxy to do so.
This is speculation but anyone familiar with the corporate world knows that intrigues can become Byzantine at a moment’s notice.
As the investigation continues, fans and stockholders alike are trying to determine what the future holds not only for Vince McMahon but for the WWE itself.
What do you think of this board member exiting the company? Was it coincidence or something substantial? Let us know in the comments below.
