I just want to say that Dave was really good on this, and it was a reminder of why i started listening back to him in the early 2000s.. I have got caught up with his doubling down on AEW etc but he was great on this.

[rofbagging]

Binged the series, it felt like a WWE History documentary as opposed to a Mr. McMahon documentary.

[vabeachkevin]

The documentary wasn’t that bad. Nothing wrestling fans didn’t already know.

[nachomanrandysauvage]

I agree with Bret Hart. Vince can go rot in hell.

[rdFloor]

Dave was great on the doc but mainly because they only took 2 sentences and cut it right away before the ramble lol

[andrewvaughan]

It needed more interviews from people that interacted with Vince. Tony Atlas was the only one giving anything away. The rest was a generic wwe doc with the last 20 minutes being the scandal.

[wrathofsocrus]

"And if I did, the Statute of Limitations . . ." Yeah, he absolutely did and has zero sympathy.

[DukeOfAllPixels]

Vince came off terrible but Bruce Prichard is a close 2nd.

[fatherdamien]

He was forced out. He would've never retired otherwise

[Repomidnight]

There’s only so much Bruce Prichard a person can take.

[Ohkayy_yy]

Finished it, and it was lowkey ass. But i guess it’s as you all said, that it’s a good piece for casual viewers. I already knew about everything.
The only revelation that fucked me up was when Steve Austin said some stupid shit about concussions. Like how could he have that opinion, all the while his peers like Angle and mick foley both are slowly developing cte smiles, not too dissimilar from how Ali’s face used to look. That was pretty disappointing. And I was shocked that Vince actually listened to the science. Mostly to protect his assets probably.

Feels more like a brief history of WWE than Vince's Story.

First 2 episode alot of Tony Atlas.

[walmyvlad]

Loving the documentary. It brings the history of WWE and wrestlingE in general into full perspective.

McMahon is a complicated man. The abuse he got when he was a kid can not be overstated. It doesn't excuse some of the things he did. At the same time, without him wrestling wouldn't be where it is.

It's complicated.

[TheFlo]

I would love to hear all those interviews uncut.

[youngzeus]

Nobody ever and will ever have unprecedented access to Vince and WWE footage and this is what we got? This should have been 10 parts like OJ:Made in America. This isn't award winning and the material should absolutely be. Shame

[crazyvitod]

Was a great watch, but kinda wild that the doc missed Triple H’s POV from one of the scrums. “I haven’t had a chance to see” was wild and should have been talked about.

[armandogomez]

There was nothing new nothing that was shocking. This was just a nice documentary about Vince. This was a nothing burger

[brianboese]

Mike sounds like a kid doing a book report on a book that he clearly didn't read.

[patrickward]

The most interesting parts of this documentary was vince and shane, and vince and his dad, vince puts business above everything, even his own family, he loves working, i dont think vince is a bad man but he is ruthless when it comes to business and protecting wwe, and he just wants to keep looking forward instead of being held back by the past it seems 😁

[lagofala]

Well, there's no point in dark side of the ring doing a vince ep now
