Hey there, wrestling fans and casual observers alike! I’m super excited to share my thoughts on the new six-episode series, “Mr. McMahon,” which chronicles the rise, fall, and everything in between of the one and only Vince McMahon — the controversial mastermind behind World Wrestling Entertainment.
As a lifelong WWE fan, I’ve been in love with the squared circle since the New Generation era, where we saw the likes of Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart steal the show. And let’s not forget the jaw-dropping, boundary-pushing Attitude Era, where legends like The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin ruled the ring! Those were wild times, and I was there for every suplex and body slam, cheering at the top of my lungs at Madison Square Garden and the Barclays Center whenever WWE rolled into town.
Now, back to “Mr. McMahon.” This series isn’t just a stroll down memory lane; it’s a deep dive into the life of a man who transformed WWE from a small, regional business into a global entertainment powerhouse. Filmmaker Chris Smith (yes, the genius behind “Tiger King”) and executive producer Bill Simmons (the mastermind of “30 for 30”) have put together over 200 hours of interviews — including chats with Vince himself, his family, and some of the most iconic names in wrestling history. They’ve gone for an unflinching, no-holds-barred look at this enigmatic figure.
But it’s not all sunshine and suplexes. The series also tackles the explosive sexual misconduct allegations that ultimately led to Vince’s resignation. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions, just like a good WWE storyline!
