Mr. McMahon

The dark side of one of the most entertaining spectales in the world ? YES PLEASE. See the true colors of one of the most impressive self made billionaires and pioneers in modern sports and entertainment. All the controversy and ups and downs that went on through Mcmahon and the industry told broad and openly by the most important , influential and respected people involved. Each episode tackles what each era of the wrestling business dealt with and it's shocking that it never ceased to exist. How can something so pure and real as wrestling have total different face to it once you see it through the eyes of this show. A MUST WATCH.

Disclaimer: Yes, I know WWE is fake wrestling! I didn't know it as a child, and that was the fun of it. Coming to the review:

OMG!! It is just so amazing to see the legends of WWF and all the back story. The people in the US may know about everything in the documentary. You gotta remember, WWF was global and most of us didn't have access to all the back stage drama. The real stories, the WCW vs WWF drama all of that. We only saw what happened on Raw and PPVs. There was no internet back then as well for us to get the information.

If you resonate with what I have shared, you will love this documentary, as you rightly should!!

I was excited to learn there would be a documentary coming out about Mr. McMahon and WWE. I have been a wrestling fan since I was a kid and still in many respects still am. I was fortunate to watch the attitude era when Stone Cold and The Rock electrified the audiences. It was enjoyable to see the history of WWE, Vince Senior and the legacy of superstars over the decades to the present day. There were some big personalities, challenges, the Monday night wars with WCC that made each episode great to watch.

Love him or hate him, I respect the businessman instincts and creativity Vince brought to the industry to make it what it is today. In regards to the recent allegations, he made his bed and now he has to sleep in it. Highly recommend this documentary, especially if you are or have been a wrestling fan.

Big wrestling fan here, already knew most of the stories that were told, though I did learn some things I didn't know, like for example things about Vince's childhood. Thought the production was really good & watched it all in one day, but the single most important thing people need to know about this is that it was mostly recorded in 2021 which means that you have to wait until the final episode for all the recent allegations. This is why I understand why wrestling fans especially, will have maybe expected more cause they already heard many of the stories, but I still think its a good watch, not an epic watch but a good one, where you will also learn more about other wrestlers from the way they speak about Vince.

Don't expect a big beat up of Vince McMahon here. Being mostly filmed before the last damaging allegations, this is more a focus on Vince McMahons business mind - and how he swallowed the whole wrestling world under his ruthless ambition and business acumen.

It's at its most interesting giving an insight into the workings of Vince McMahons mind, he reveals more than he needs to at times (including how he has sometimes said things to get ahead and sway/program others as promotion), the other most interesting is the history of WWE. I learnt a lot although some WWE die-hards will prefer the Dark Side of the Ring.

It doesn't shy away from the allegations, and is better for it. Bret Hart, Dave Meltzer and Eric Bischoff are great interviews. Vince is too reserved at times. He's a brilliant mind, and a brilliant villian, but potentially not a good guy. Time will tell so enjoy this documentary for what it is.
