15 Things We Learned From Vince McMahon's Docuseries On Netflix
6. McMahon’s ‘Attitude’ Sum Up Is…Something!
McMahon's psychotic ability to numbly ignore fact happens when he's wrapping up the lucrative 'Attitude Era' too. The producers got Vince good by following some of his ludicrous statements with WWF/WWE footage showing the contrary. It happens quickly, and pictures speak louder than words from talking heads would've.
Vince says 'Attitude' was raunchy but the company stayed within certain parameters. For example, he says there were no guns or knives on TV. Netflix clamped that claim by showing none other than Brian Pillman waving a pistol around on Raw in 1996 (which actually pre-dated the accepted starting point for the era).
Further, McMahon’s wording on the ‘Attitude Era’ still being for families is chaotic. He actually says it was “…maybe for more of an adult family”. What does that even mean?! It's unclear whether Vince himself knows. There are more instances of this contradictory behaviour to come.
No wonder some WWE writers were exhausted working with the guy. A lot of fiction in his mind seems to have become fact.
