Anyone watching?
Do they bring up the scandal or dance around it?

Vince McMahon
- Thread starter ButtersHawk
- Start date
I thought maybe this was a death announcement thread. He’s incredibly overdue for a massive heart attack.
Netflix 6 part documentary. Got about 200 hours of interviews with him.
Think the last two episodes deal with the current scandal. Plenty of scandals from the 80, 90, etc to get though first.
No interest in watching somebody talk about fake scripted shit that I think is silly
he sat for all this and then posted how they did a hit job and this doesnt represent him and blah blah, he is a pos
Bill Simmons produced this I believe. Similar to the other 30 for 30s on ESPN and the Andre the Giant HBO doc.

He’s a piece of shit human being. He screwed over a lot of people and reasoned, “It’s just business”.
When wrestlers and victims responded or went public, it was “disloyal and vengeful”.

That's crazy, I didn't know that happened. Can't believe they didn't cancel the rest of the event.
Stuff before Janelle Grant
Raped a female referee
Ran interference for Jimmy Snuku criminal investigation. Claimed Jimmy was a simple savage. So cops would leave him alone. Instead of questioning him about the dead girlfriend in his bed.
Broke numerous contracts with wrestlers
Broke numerous buyout agreements with territory owners.
Ring Boys scandal
Didn’t report a credible rape of a talent overseas at US Army base.
Brian Pillman widow fiasco
Owen Hart Death. Demanded unsafe rigging. For aesthetics purposes.
Steroids
Pushing female talent in exchange for sexual favors. NDA’s
Showing off penis to numerous tanning salon employees.

The whole set up for Owen Hart was crazy. Owen hated the Blue Blazer character. Creative wanted him to have an affair with Debra as a long program.
He refused. Loved his wife too much or wasn’t comfortable portraying that on TV. So they forced this character on him as punishment.
Didn’t like the dropping down into ring either. Sting had been doing this for years. But Vince didn’t like how you had to come down and unhook. It was slow and didn’t look the best for TV.
Vince wanted a different rigging used the unhooked quicker thus less support. The first tech refused and quit. But his second or assist said it could be done safely.

Probably why he and Donald Trump are so tight. This is a guy Donald can admire.
They’re not that tight anymore. Vince is all alone similar to Charles Kane. Shit ton of money. But no friends, family, or busInesses want to be associated with him.
Only have one episode left and I thought it has been very well done. I feel like it could have been 3 or 4 episodes longer.
He sounds more like someone that Bill Clinton and Epstein would have hung around with.
I’m only one episode in but one thing I’ve never understood is how Linda has stood by and watched the affairs pile up and hasn’t moved a muscle.
Because she also watched the dollars pile up probably.
I'm guessing she was spending time with a pool boy or tennis coach while old Vinny was on the road sleeping with the female wrestlers.
I’m 2/3 the way through it. VM was a massive pile who would do anything to make money. A real sociopath. It is no wonder he worked so well with Donnie.
If I had to tolerate mass infidelity, being a super rich sn’t a bad way to go about it.
Beyond The Mat is still the best Pro Wrestling Documentary that at least truly pulls back the curtain.

I read quite a bit about them last night because I have never followed WWE type stuff in my life. Pretty sure she had plenty of boy toys of her own over the years and got filthy rich off of him also. She's no saint either.
Brad Pitt, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans can invoke that defense. Probably not Vince most younger women wouldn’t know who the hell he is. Some old buff dude to them.I mean, who hasn't done that in his defense?
Vince spent 150 million or so trying to buy her a Senate seat twice. Business relationship.
She did plenty of dirty. Just is nicer and has people skills. Way smarter than Vince is.
