Mr. McMahon

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.

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!!

Vince McMahon took WWE (WWF) to new heights, fending off competition, scandals, even deaths, but where do the lines blur between Vince McMahon and his on screen character, Mr McMahon.

It is genuinely like a soap opera, it's so outlandish, so over the top, so extreme, the characters feel exactly that, unlike any possible real person, and that's the appeal I guess, it's almost like a real life cartoon.

It's unreal, even for someone who gave up on wrestling probably in about 1998. McMahon is shown in the titles as a slightly crazed looking puppet master, and that's exactly what he is.

It's pinch of salt stuff, that is until the final episode, where it takes a dramatic shift, and suddenly feels very real.

Very well made, goofy interviews, as well as some very serious ones. It explores various different elements of wrestling, the people, the business, the mistakes, deaths and injuries, it even talks about its bright future.

Great entertainment.

9/10.

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.

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.
