What was the scummy wrasslin story behind this? All I remember is that Vince had Snuka play like a silent savage who didn't know what he did. I may have it all wrong. Someone correct me.

That's about right, yeah.

The timing on the stomach cancer thing is whatever, it's up to each person's individual pessimism to figure out that stuff

So how does this compare to 9/11 in regards to McMahon tragedies? The steroid trial was as bad, so is this worse?

how is this a McMahon tragedy if the prospect of him being charged hasn't been broached once in the news yet? This is what I was saying, we're getting well ahead of the story's actual developments.

Did I allude to not recognizing the Stephanie comparing Vince's steroid trial to 9/11 reference? He made that joke, I got it, but it doesn't work if Vince isn't actually in trouble yet.

Looking at the details of the case I think it would be a fool's errand to even bring charges against Vince. There's nobody alleging that the death was anything but accidental -- there was no premeditation (though since she probably fell after being struck by Snuka there would have been malice). There was no weapon for Vince to hide, no plan for him to aid Snuka in carrying out, it's virtually impossible to sell him as a co-conspirator when by definition there is no conspiracy involved in the commission of 3rd Degree Murder or Involuntary Manslaughter.

Jimmy Snuka was dumb and suggested that Vince paid someone off in his autobiography

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Honestly, as a realistic outcome I can see Snuka quietly forgotten/buried/Benoited to never be mentioned again, whilst Tamina sits out her contract and is future released.

If Vince is accused, or implicated to be involved, (as he probably is, and someone will say his name in a police cell either to try and help themselves, or just to muddy the waters), then we will get a #standupforWWE thing and he will be portrayed as the sympathetic victim of a vicious liberal/millennial attack on an innocent old man.

And considering it was all so long ago, they either must have some evidence to start it all up again, otherwise it will all boil down to he said she said, and nobody will do any time.

Apparently the case was reopened when the autopsy report (which I guess had been lost) resurfaced in 2014; the body had hundreds of cuts and bruises on it, showing clear signs of "mate abuse." There's no direct physical evidence like fingerprints.

I think the worst Vince could be charged with is obstruction (because ultimately all he did was mislead investigating officers) and the statue of limitations has long since expired for that. Again, this is a lot simpler than most murder cases because there was no planning ahead of time to think of

Aiding and abetting would also apply if he lied to the cops. But being involved in any way, regardless if they could charge him or not, would probably mean that he's going to have to step down.

Unless they're able to uncover the truth: that it was Kevin Sullivan all along

Sure, but it would have to be proven that he knew Snuka was at fault when he asserted otherwise. It would take nothing less than tape of a call from Snuka to Vince where he says "Vince, I hit her, she fell, she didn't get up". Granted, maybe this tape exists, but if it does it could easily have been lost or damaged in the intervening 32 years

edit: not to mention that if they had the evidence to charge him, they would have brought him in by now to try him alongside Snuka

I'm not even sure Snuka's gonna get convicted, much less Vince. It's not easy pressing charges on poo poo that occurred over 30 years ago and Vince has really good lawyers. Now, if the story we've all heard is true it could at least mean further negative publicity.
