Folks, I have to say, Netflix has just dropped the trailer for their new docuseries on Vince McMahon, Mr. McMahon, and let me tell you—it’s shaping up to be the biggest showdown outside the ring! This series will document the meteoric rise and cataclysmic crash of the WWE head honcho himself. Just like a steel cage match, there’s no escape from the drama!
You’ve got McMahon before the scandalous 2022 allegations. Very smart, by the way. If anyone knows how to dodge a chair shot—or, in this case, a scandal—it’s Vinnie Mac. There are clips with WWE’s Mount Rushmore: Triple H, The Rock (still “The People’s Champ,” believe me), Hulk Hogan (don’t forget the bandana), John Cena (who you still can’t see), Stone Cold Steve Austin, Bret Hart, and more legends than a WrestleMania afterparty.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. WWE isn’t officially involved in the series, yet they’re buddying up to Netflix for future ventures, including Raw airing live on the streaming giant. It’s like watching a tag team partner say, “We’re not in this match,” but still body-slamming everyone on the sidelines. Classic!
And folks, that WWE-Netflix deal? It’s about as flexible as a ladder match stipulation—5 to 20 years. If it goes well, expect the suplex of a lifetime on traditional TV.
