Netflix Mr McMahon Documentary Instant Reaction

[@andyQA]

I just finished it, all 6 episodes. I don’t feel I learnt anything new, it’s just a history lesson I guess. But if you grew up with it, read the dirtsheets, watched all the dark side of the ring seasons, and all the old Vince interviews, there’s nothing new.

[@willianjacobs3802]

Why would there be? This is more for people outside of the wrestling community. If there is anything really bad or dark, then it won't be till he isn't here anymore till we know.

[@RonnieMopar]

I’m 3 in and I was thinking the same thing. This is nothing knew. I feel that it wouldn’t be what people are expecting since the Netflix & Raw deal.

[@akshit318]

It's more like knowing from horse's mouth.... Like Vince still thinks he was right about continuing show after Owen's death

[@jerrycarter1906]

I agree I watched all of them also nothing we didn’t already know unless a person needs caught up or is a causal fan.

[@droiddadful]

If you already know everything, you already know everything. What did you expect?

[@djzigg3284]

How do you do a review of a documentary by only watching two episodes?

[@larryking1447]

Because apart Janet , we all know what's in it, lol. Literally 95% of is what we all know already

[@troublenyc4092]

By adding “ so far “…. I can’t wait till the final 2 episodes!

[@stevewhite6241]

[@troublenyc4092]

They are leaving out details…. Like Howard Finkel coming up with the name WRESTLEMANIA, when Vince thought COLOSSAL TUSSLE was a good name lmao! Also, I’m only up to episode 3, but Hogan is actually sticking to facts, even about slamming Andre at Wrestlemania 3! I’m shocked!

[@larryking1447]

You mean hogan admitted that wasn't the first time he slammed Andre?

[@skeltonpitts7121]

@troublenyc4092 first time I've seen him on record admit to steroids

Dubious reviewers

[@juniormelton2837]

This isn't what I hoped. It's just a history lesson for Netflix.

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

Crazy how people got excited over a documentary on Vince. And fail to understand he participated in it and the documentary itself wasn't telling anything new. As I said before, I've heard so much about Vince over the years. I don't care for the documentary

[@stevechamberlain8286]

Watched all 6 episodes. I found it fascinating to watch despite knowing most of the information revealed and understand this is for the lay-person out there. I think the original documentary would have left the viewers still believing that Vince was a dodgy person in real life - the allegations just reinforce what you would have been feeling throughout. I'd be interested in seeing what someone who didn't watch during the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras feels about the stories they highlight - at two points the audience acted horribly to the victim in the story (Steph being drugged and raped, and Trish being forced to strip). It could be argued that the audience response to these encouraged Vince to continue doing these sort of stories, or engaging in real life. It's often said that Wrestling is a soap opera, but we don't cheer when someone is assaulted in Eastenders. Food for thought

[@drewwalters1878]

I just read Stephen King's IT. I read chapters 1 and 23. Im pretty sure I have a grasp of the story.

[@danieledwards1156]

Weirdly the thing that stood out that was Dr Zahorian being on WWF TV back in the day...feel like people don't mention that/I overlooked that.

Michael Sidgwick's Christmas day.

[@TomJones-wm4ro]

legit, i don't have Netflix so I appreciate this breakdown. thanks, gents

[@simonboyle7122]

I thought it was pretty mild. Pro Wrestling seems to be unique in the sense that people seem unable to separate the character being played onscreen to the human being offscreen. Vince is the epitome of an evil genius. All is fair in love in war. He was absolutely ruthless. McMahons legacy hinges on the outcome of the Grant sexual abuse trial. This docu series doesn’t really change that.

[@Domononizuka813]

Michael Sidgwick talking about people coming off horribly is the irony I was looking for in this video.

[@RonnieMopar]

I’ve watched 3 and so far so good. It’s nothing that we never knew or heard of. I’ll watch the last 3 tonight.

[@GreggNowhere]

5:48 I'm sorry, I get where your feelings are on this, but making a documentary about a case that hasn't even seen the inside of a court yet, without the perspective of the plaintiff, sounds like one of the most horrifically irresponsible things a media organisation could possibly do.

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

They do it all the time. Which is why people shouldn't watch a documentary on a person if they have an ongoing case. Sad how everyone is quick to make a documentary without knowing all the facts

[@dyl650]

Apart from the Rita Chatterton case there wasn't much that was covered that I wasn't aware of (the statute of limitations comment spoke volumes IMO), was expecting more on the Snuka story though, felt very glossed over. The thing that angered me most in the doc was Austin saying he's not a CTE guy and doesn't believe in it. Unbelievably ignorant comment.

[@meciocio]

Yea the statute of limitations line was the only time when my jaw dropped. Like an innocent person wouldn't talk like that when being accused of something.

[@michaellaw2829]

It was produced by Bill Simmons who has made several things in conjunction with WWE and having David Shoemaker and Meltzer on there does nothing for the overall credibility of the doc

[@willianjacobs3802]

Sidgwick doesn't come across as a good person and has a lot to work on, but i think he's done a good job with this video.

[@Jermaine2099]

That “HALLO” at volume 20 out of 10 is a bit much 😂

[@JamesWilsonMD]

Its literally just a condensed timeline of all the storylines and scandals we already all know about. This is completely designed for people like my dad who has no clue who Vince McMahon is! Shame really. 6/10

[@BrendanFlaherty3]

The Tony atlas stuff was heart breaking. Systemic protection for sexual abusers for decades. Tough watch man.

[@Nathan-oo2ik]

I’d like to apologize to Sidgewick and what culture for a nasty comment I left earlier, which was rightfully deleted.

[@robbyv8729]

It would have really sucked if it was a smear campaign against Vince. It’s very disingenuous to forget all the positive he did for the industry because of all the crap he’s done

[@he_wildn]

I thought the documentary did its job. Considering the lawsuit in real-time so it was covered in the last episode as best as they could

[@danielblizzard6361]

Anyone else feel like the documentary may have been inheritly flawed?

[@DaveC74]

I’ve only watched the first episode but I’ll say this Shane looks so uncomfortable it’s almost hilarious.

[@justin71]

The first episode might as well been a A&E documentary copy/paste

[@derrickmcmullin]

What I get from sidgewick is that he wanted a burial and is mad that he didn't get it.

[@Nathan-oo2ik]

Lmao of course dude, he jerks off to hating Vince McMahon. He’s a neck bearded forum posting shitposter parading as a wrestling commentator. This channel is essentially dead, they have a million subscribers and barely crack 5 digit viewing numbers lmao. If that isn’t an indictment of the absolutely shit quality of the hosts and the content (minus Simon) then I don’t know what is.
