15 Things We Learned From Vince McMahon's Docuseries On Netflix

15. Vince Pretty Much Laid It Out For Netflix

There's a sense that Vince was working Netflix and putting on an impenetrable exterior from the off. Many of his earlier comments are drenched in OTT carny double speak, but let's be fair about one thing straight away: McMahon pretty much told the directors how things would play out mere seconds after sitting down for an interview.

Thus, the doc opens with Vince saying he wished he could tell everyone true stories. When an off-camera staffer said to give them even one, McMahon said he couldn’t, but would try to make things “semi-interesting”. That set the table for an almost WWE-style first episode. It's still an entertaining watch, but not something that hardcore fans will glean much from they didn’t already know.

However, as the intro states, it's easy to forget that Netflix plays to a bigger audience than fans who religiously watch Raw and SmackDown. Kinda quirky that they chose to open the documentary with Vince shutting down any hopes of a relentless deep dive into the real human being though.

Thankfully, he opened up a bit more as time went on; whether by accident or design.
