Janel Grant, a former WWE employee, has come forward with allegations of rape and sex trafficking against Vince McMahon, a co-founder of WWE and close friend of Donald Trump. McMahon has since resigned from his position as TKO Chairperson. The allegations have rocked the world of professional wrestling, but a look at McMahon’s long career indicates these latest revelations fit a pattern of openly misogynistic conduct stretching back decades. Abraham Josephine Riesman, author of Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America, joins Edge of Sports for a discussion on the allegations against McMahon and its implications for the sport.
