Mr. McMahon - Netflix Docuseries

[Chris]

Also from what I've heard, they didn't conduct many of any new interviews after the case broke, so I'm actually not sure how deep they can go.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Hopefully they'll have a nice long segment on how Vince and Hulk Hogan singlehandedly destroyed worker's rights in professional wrestling through both intimidation tactics and breaking up any chance for unions to take place.

 

[Chris]

Nah I doubt that's included at all. I think it'll be the major stuff, nothing we haven't heard a million times. I believe Netflix's goal is for it to be like the Tiger King thing the guy did before where this story the general public may not know becomes a thing where everyone is like "wow I didn't know the WWE guy was this insane"

It'll be the screw job, steroid trial, Benoit death, not sure what else. I think touching on Owen's death is a must but not sure they will

I doubt then they'll bring up Vince covering up Nancy Argentino's murder then.

 

[Chris]

I'd say a slight chance but most likely not bc this story will probably be WrestleMania 1 to present since that's when wrestling history starts in the mainstream

shut the fuck up Vince

 

[Chris]

Okay maybe it will actually be good

my only concern is it's going to 'whitewash' everything nefarious into Vince being the sole and only bad guy while putting no focus on people who facilitated his behavior or participated. On the flip side, I also understand that that is not the focus or subject of the doc. I am just not looking forward to people using this doc to hand wave the systematic failures that occurred

What I’m Hearing: Zaz Mysteries, Vince vs. ‘Mr. McMahon,’ ‘Transformers’ Bust & A Puck Event!

Welcome back to What I’m Hearing, where I’m still waiting for my invitation to Ari Emanuel’s The Weekend event, which concluded yesterday. Elon Musk made it, I’m told, as did Roger Goodell, Andy Jassy, and Jeff Bezos with my BFF Lauren Sánchez. Hopefully, the gift bag included Lauren’s new...

“After seeing early footage, (McMahon) actually tried to buy the project back from Netflix, per two sources familiar."

“Vince also had Endeavor C.E.O. Ari Emanuel, his new partner in TKO, chime in on his behalf, also voicing concern about the doc’s treatment of Vince’s alter ego, ‘Mr. McMahon,’ which ended up being the title of the doc.”

“Netflix refused to let the project go, and then this past January, the worse McMahon scandal broke, when a former employee sued alleging terrible abuse.”

 

[Tommy Shelby]

He's sent out a statement that they've portrayed him as the Mr McMahon character and not distinguish the difference between the on screen and off screen persona.


What he means is that they've done an exception exposing him as one a dirty fcking old man who should be castrated.

Chris you always post decent stuff in regards to certain things. Where did u get the information about him wanting to buy the show from Netflix as I've not seen that on any wrestling site I frequent.

Mercedes Mone when asked about the perception of the documentary in the AEW locker room:

“Well, I haven’t been talking to anyone. I stay in my locker room, I stay in my lane but all I do know, I’m going to grab a blunt, I’m going to get some wine, and I’m going to be watching some Netflix. I can’t wait."

I read today that there is a short segment that covers the time when Vince presented the storyline of Stephanie being pregnant and then later it would be revealed to be Vince’s and Stephanie reacts as any normal human would while discussing such an angle (in disgust and refuses to talk about it) while Vince laughs and acts like it’s just another day at the office. Disturbing on all levels.
