WWE’s Vince McMahon Movie Script Review - 10 Things You Need To Know About Pandemonium
7. Huge Inaccuracies
While certain aspects of the script sound accurate and true to life, others have clearly been exaggerated or, in many cases, completely fabricated. Pandemonium is full of fictitious events presumably added for dramatic effect, with one of the more prominent examples coming as Vince is assembling his talent roster.
In real-life, Andre the Giant had already been wrestling around the world for 10 years before signing for Vince. In the script, however, Andre has no prior experience, and is shown running a French restaurant in Montreal before McMahon plucks him from obscurity. Similarly, Vince discovers Roddy Piper in jail, the Junkyard Dog in an actual junkyard, and most bizarre of all, Jimmy Snuka on the set of a pornographic movie.
The scenes pan out like McMahon is forming the wrestling Avengers, and there's another in which a young McMahon goes off-script while announcing the match, and the wrestlers start following his commentary move-by-move, as if he were the Pied Piper. As a whole, the MLW Radio review describes these scenes as "campy and cartoonish," and at best, "a distorted version of reality." Clearly, the film's focus is on entertaining the audience rather over telling Vince's real story.
