vince, never one to miss a trick when it comes to earning an extra $, went beofre the judge when he was testifying at the steriod trial and said so, therefore opening up the whole business to the rest of the world's scrutiny
and when you have a $billion industry such as wrestling, if you can save yourself 10% of your turnover but not having to pay tax, i'd take that in a heartbeat
chip: because you know that, somewhere deep down, you are intrested in wrestling related threads
cheeky: i shall keep an eye out for your motor
also, randy poffo boinking the bosses daughter is a "real life" romour and the only one that makes sense, if you click the link and read the 3 pages worth of info in it, you will see that even with someone like bret (when they first met after all those years, vince had sharp shooters in the trees of the park just in case bret was looking like giving vince a kicking



) and you realise that vince is the worst sort of boss you can have because he "owns" you outright
even though the wrestlers are technically self employed, they get their money based on a small contract for a certain length of time and the big money comes 3 months in arrears when the royalties start rolling in from gate recipt %'s and merchandising sales
which is great if you own the brand copywrite, but vince owns everyones name (other than a select few, ultimate woyah was jim helwig's persona and now his real life real name, hulk hogan as marvel own the rights to the hulk name) so once you leave vince, you lose the name and everyting associated with it
which is why, when the chips are down, everyone come back to vince to make up
