Welcome, everyone, to another edition of the Body Slam Briefs.

This is Evil Dose, Jeff Lippman, the In Residence Council for the Wrestling Supe Network.

This is going to be hopefully a quick show, and it's following up on the last show, which was also quick.

And it's going to be pretty much dedicated to the Janelle Grant case and things that are going on there,

which might be a little bit confusing, or at least things are being stirred around a little bit.

So let's go to the PR war.

The Court of Public Opinion battle that is still being waged. As I said all along, the pleading that Grant's team put out initially seemed like it was going to be a shock and all campaign. Most pleadings don't usually have that kind of detail. And you do that kind of detail if you want to

sort of bombard the world, sort of flood the zone with information and hope for a settlement

because of the embarrassment. For better or worse, you're dealing with Vincent Kennedy and McMahon,

who, you know, might be considered

shameless or has been through the ringers before, you know, and or is a fighter and only

settles, you know, when he has to. So that didn't work. But it seems like they're continuing

to do so. And the reason I'm bringing this up is because I think it plays into some of the other things that are going on, that there is some occlusion. There is some cloudiness to it. So remember we talked about the SEC fine and how McMahon's team and CNBC reported that all federal investigations were closed. And Janelle Grant's team is saying,

no, they're not necessarily. So first and foremost, the U.S. Attorney's Office doesn't say when they have

stopped investigating something unless they're ordered to, you know,

unless there's something like the special counsel, the Jack Smith investigation, Donald Trump,

unless it's a case of that kind of public interest.

They don't usually, you know, say, we're closing something.

Or if something was so bad, like Richard Jewell, such a case of public interest, and you ruin

somebody's life that they actually come out and, you know, basically exonerate someone. And for those

of you who don't know who Richard Jewell was long ago, there was a bombing in Atlanta,

and he is a security guard, and he was basically the one that everyone thought did it.
