I'm super curious of what he is up to. Such a change from rubbing elbows with some big Disney Exec's on DCL Concierge level cruises only a bit ago. Remember it is only January, anything can happen, it wouldn't shock me if after the Amex stuff gets settled, he tries to reappear as the victim in all of this.

At this point it, the way the last 6 months have played out, I've moved from believing there is no way he could come back to now I think there is a small chance he comes back.

John and company knew about the Amex thing for quite some time and Pete was still allowed to be Pete. So I agree the Amex thing was not a deal breaker for them. Perhaps Amex gets resolved and they then do some sort of "Pete's gone to rehab tour". I think Pete has more sense than John and Kevin and would probably hire a PR person to come up with some sort of plan to spin the whole thing, where nothing he did was wrong, and if it was it was because he was spiraling in addiction. Pete would love the idea of having his own PR person.

Why do I feel this way. A large part is that the product has been terrible and the numbers are crashing. As insane as it is, do I think Pete would do more views and drive more traffic. Yes I do. Its the bottom line, it always is.

Plus, they've never actually came out and said anything bad about Pete. They never addressed the underlying issues. If you recall John and Kevin were the actual victims because some people were making comments on their IG.

Sure, Ryno and Craig made some backhanded comments, but those two will be like Wormtail, when Voldemort returns. They will come back sniveling back. We all know it.

Rehab might help address running up a $1M credit card debt over several months, but doesn't do much to excuse years of sexually abusing employees.

But I don't have much of problem also imagining John bringing him back to boost viewing numbers and keep business moving to his agents, with Craig and Ryno sitting next to him grinning. The PR spin could always be that the sexual assault is only alleged and never proven.

The PR spin will be that he was a victim of an abusive/SA father. As I wrote, he will spin this to make himself the victim of all of this.
 
Ryno most definitely does NOT "look happy to be here" 😂

FFS, where's the energy? When I was reading & watching all the news about Epic Universe this morning I was hyped. I was telling my daughter and husband to go online and check the Universal Orlando news out. This is going to really hurt Disney next year and further expose their aging FL parks

I thought they did the Epic Universe show this morning so went to check in on this afternoon's show to see if they were featuring their take on the competition to Disney and ... nope. They're "taking a break from Walt Disney World this week" to talk about Universal.

Case in point: Universal has never been on my wife’s radar short of a date night we had at CityWalk. Once Nintendo entered the equation, watch out.

I completely agree. Universal is never big on my list of places to go, but I’m so glad Nintendo is coming (and How to train your dragon) because (hot take) I think universal outpaces Disney on theming. So I’m excited to see what Universal does with these. I would even be pretty excited for them to move Halloween Horror Nights to this park.
If they design that park to better fit HHN and have that event in mind with the construction, it would be great and pair well with the Dark Universe area too. I think Disney killed it with Pandora and Toy Story to a lesser degree but Universal really ups the theming game imo.
