7. Non-WWE Failures

If VICE were producing an independent documentary on Vince, then they'd probs spend a lot of time analysing his various business ventures outside WWE. Here's the thing: Netflix are giving WWE some control over their doc, and that means the series will be favourable to McMahon's entrepreneurship.

The XFL, WBF, ICOPRO and others might get off lightly.

Vince has always been steadfast in his belief that short-term failure doesn't define him. Whilst that's admirable, there's no doubt that he will be privately disappointed by these flops. His only sustainable business has been pro wrestling (whether he chooses to call it something else or not).

Netflix are going to have a job on their hands - they'll have to juggle the harsh truth and McMahon's own ego. His entire fascination with non-WWE projects may end up being mentioned in passing and not in-depth. It's hard to see Vince green-lighting anything that makes him look bad.
