A common refrain is that we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to WWE and their recent sex trafficking allegations. How true is it that no one would know what Vince was up to? We go back through WWE's history of abuse scandals and look at how allegations in the Ring Boy Scandal, Ashley Massaro's claims and the most public allegation at Vince McMahon all involve multiple witnesses, or open knowledge by WWE talent and executives.
