Mr McMahon is a new Netflix documentary series about former WWE chairman Vince McMahon. It includes interviews with his entire family and many top wrestling figures, and was mostly filmed in 2021 before any criminal charges were filed.
My thoughts:
Every interview is re-scoped in light of the allegations by putting creepy music in the background. It comes off as really obvious and amateurish.
It tries to paint him as an evil ruthless businessman because he expanded the WWF into a national product which involved disrupting the old boys network of regional wrestling federations.
There's a dumb outspoken dude called Tony Atlas who is just there to constantly shit on Vince even though he doesn't seem to have been that close to anything.
Hulk Hogan comes across really well. I assumed he'd be a barely-sentient blob by now but he's well-spoken and seems surprisingly normal.
It's very Netflix-y; there's a shoehorned section about how Americans hated foreigners in the 80s. Another section talks about how the wrestlers should have had a union, and another talks about how it's not OK to shit on Iraq.
Six episodes is too many.

Shame, it seemed interesting. Netflix fricks a good idea up as usual.
