"The board’s investigation, which began in April, has unearthed other, older nondisclosure agreements involving claims by former female WWE employees of misconduct by Mr. McMahon and one of his top executives, John Laurinaitis, the head of talent relations at WWE, the people said. The Journal couldn’t determine how many previous agreements were being scrutinized.
The board’s outside counsel was still collecting information about the other NDAs this week but has determined that the payments totaled in the millions of dollars, the people said."
The article states that the Board of Directors learned of the allegations when they received an email from a friend of the former employee in March. The email claimed the employee was hired with a $100,000 salary that doubled once she began a relationship with McMahon. The WSJ report noted, "The email to the board also alleged that Mr. McMahon “gave her like a toy” to Mr. Laurinaitis."
That was the beginning of the end for Laurinaitis, who went on immediate administrative leave. To date, he has not publicly commented on the allegations.
Get any of the matches from the Samoa Joe/CM Punk trilogy. I say Punk/Joe II was the best, but you'll probably find your viewing most rewarding if you watch them in order.
