15 Things We Learned From Vince McMahon's Docuseries On Netflix
1. The Last 30 Mins Is What People Came For
Let's be honest, nobody is flocking to this Vince doc for details about WrestleMania's creation or what he wanted to do creatively post-Hulk Hogan. Anyone watching wants juicy news about ongoing lawsuits and all of the dirt under McMahon's fingernails over the decades. Netflix scratches that itch, but...
...they can only scratch so much.
There's full focus on Vince’s sudden 2022 retirement, the WWE merger under TKO’s banner and then the Janel Grant suit during the final half hour of episode six. McMahon bows out at that point; he cancelled his final round of interviews with producers and actually wanted the whole documentary binned.
Netflix turned to journalists and those outside the pro wrestling bubble to speak publicly about some hair-raising issues and sordid details from the Grant case. It'll raise eyebrows amongst more casual viewers for sure, and some will be wishing they'd homed in on that a little more.
Obviously, even a massive company like Netflix has to be careful with ongoing investigations. They could only go so far and don't have all the answers.
