10 Vince McMahon Moments Netflix WON’T Talk About

Netflix could dedicate an entire series of content to McMahon family storylines alone. Vince and Linda have announced a kayfabe divorce on live TV, and there's been a laundry list of extramarital sexual encounters for ol' VKM over the years to capitalise on his playboy heel gimmick.

Those are part and parcel of the WWE product, to be fair, but Netflix might draw the line at drugs. Back in 2001, the promotion ran an angle that saw Vince and Stephanie medically sedate the matriarch of their household. That led to an iconic ball-booting moment at WrestleMania X-Seven.

Your writer isn't crucifying WWE for producing this kind of stuff (he enjoyed it, especially at 'Mania), but it probably won't make the doc; the mainstream media would be tripping over themselves to dig the claws in if Vince guffawed as he talked about doping his own wife for a wrasslin' storyline.

Some angles are best left in the past.
