Mr. McMahon (2024)

[Kiwi Andy]

Only a few episodes in but it is hard to overstate how based this man is. So what if he used some slut as a human toilet. Absolute. legend.

 

[candlejack]

His poorly dyed jet-black eyebrows are really distracting every time he's on screen.

 

[Cats]

his texts to the communal whore are pretty damn gross tbh. it's disturbing to think of old wrinkly vince and john laurinitis sharing the same dumpster, not to mention brock lesnar's shaved albino gorilla looking ass. its an absolutely repulsive mental image

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

I still can't get over the fact that he gave wrestler names to dildos.

 

[COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST]

The show is a good introductory place if you have any interest in how wrestling was designed throughout the decades. You should also expect some of the wrestlers to embellish (Bret calling himself an artist, Hogan never having a trustworthy account of anything, Vince deciding he was always justified to make X choice, etc.) with the only truly honest guy being Tony Atlas.

 

[Your Starter for 10]

I still can't get over the fact that he gave wrestler names to dildos.

Are we 100% sure it's not thd other way around? Because Macho Man, Ultimate Warrior, El Gigante, The Great Kali, and Hulk Hogan could easily serve as both.

 

[*Grunts Softly*]

I'm watching it right now.

Ep 3, Haitch : "And to quote Vince, "You're going to have to learn to eat shit and like the taste of it."

 

[Samuel Fuller]

The best part of all is that Vince never thought any of what he said would make him look bad until the lawsuit hit.

He is, was, and always will be a scumbag sociopath, and his lack of self-awareness is staggering.

 

[TokiBun]

Vince is absolute scum but ngl his business skills impress me. I'm not a wrestling fan just an outside observer and I appreciate that this documentary is made for normies like me to understand. Has anyone here watched Dark Side of the Ring? Is that a good docu series?

 

[TwinkleStar]

The Pillman one is good. His Loose Cannon gimmick which drove him legitmately insane, thus crashing his hummer he bought just for random lolz and then crushing his ankle which caused him to overdose on pain pills and die in 1997, is a fun story, Wrestling is a crazy thing.

Dark Side of the Ring is excellent, as is its sister series, Tales from the Territories.

Some episodes of Dark Side are a tough watch, some are hilarious, but all worht watching. I also recommend the Vice series The Wrestlers, which covers some interesting subgenres of wrestling, like what Japanese women's wrestling can be like, and deathmatch wrestling.

Also, for every dollar Vince made, his ego caused him to blow making $5. It's honestly hilarious how dumb he was in many cases.

Well we know Shawn Michaels was his butt boy, ultimate Gay For Pay company guy, and Hulk Hogan pretty much exposes himself completely when he does interviews like this:

(p.s. comment section has chuckles)

I'm sure there was lots of down-low dicksuckers and coercive "you wanna be a main eventer, don't ya?" types hiding in plain sight over there. When it comes to seedy businesses pro wrestling is in the same sentence as travelling carnivals and midget talent agencies.

 

[斯尼 德之王]

I think the funniest part of the whole documentary is Triple H seriously going "wrestling is the most popular that its ever been. Especially since 2002" while Jake Paul dances like a retard and Bud Light advertisements flash on screen. It almost seemed like an intentional jab.

Honestly, fuck everyone involved in wrestling. The documentary kind of showed how all of them are deadbeat enablers that will sell their mothers for a dollar. Wrestlers, promoters, journos, everyone. Actually glorified Jackass for retarded children and manchildren.

Poor Ashley Massaro.

 

[Kiwi Andy]

I can't believe Vince did not stop the show when Owen Hart died. Also I would not put it past him this was actual murder.

Me neither but I also learned the blood in the ring people thought was Owen's was actually from some blood effect earlier in the night.
The doc claims lighting made the audience not realize he had fallen to his death. How true is that? That makes me wonder if the footage of him dying is even worth getting leaked. Would people at home had seen anything?

I don't know about Tony Atlas being the most reliable. He says Pat Paterson would grab his pecker, but was willing to star in a reality show (Legends House) years later? Doesn't seem smart to me.

Finally watched him talk about Brodie's death and now I wonder how truthful he was about that. That whole story was crazy to learn about. I'm glad the Vince doc has inspired me to become autistic about wrestling even if I only care about production drama and not the drama they're actually producing.

 

[Boss Hawg]

This show was a great intro into pro wrestling for non-wrestling nerds.
I believe that Vince, when conducting business, is a flat sociopath. You'd have to be like that to bring a company like the WWF into the mainstream and make it a cultural pillar.
The real Vince is prolly never been shown in front of cameras or in front of many people ever.

I still can't get over the fact that he gave wrestler names to dildos.

The wrestlers are his creations so it's like playing with his toys he made up.

Pro wrestling has it roots in (((Vaudeville))), carnivals, and travelling drama troupes so...

 

[goh]

I still can't get over the fact that he gave wrestler names to dildos.

I don't need nor want to see the dildos themselves. I need to know if they were themed around the wrestler in some way and not just named after them. Like, imagine an Undertaker dildo that's a gravestone or a Mick Foley dildo that's broken in half lmao.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

2/3 of the way through. It's interesting in cultural history, especially as bizarrely wrestling seems to attract Gen X lolcows.

Some notes:
* Getting real sick of "X was convicted/accused of rape" that needs to be amended to every person applicable. Popular culture went from accepting edgy things to being incredibly gay amd cowardly.
* That WCW guy is a faggot that thinks having infinite budget and stealing everything from the competition makes him superior even if he's stint didn't even last 2 years, you either win or lose not take pride in having 83 weeks of an edge.
* God damn the 80's were so much better in terms of racial politics. We went from cool black guys to a bunch of grifting race baiters.
* Getting to the edgy era of no good guys and it's pretty fascinating looking at wrestling being parallel with media landscape. Going from classic good and bad, to nihilistic "no good guys just shades of bad".
* Every media person trying to question of whether wrestling is fake deserves what's coming to him. It's just an obvious gotcha that legitimately angering for the wrestlers who gets hurt badly.
* The business itself is based but god damn is it depressing to think about the long term consequences.
* McMahon just looks like he stepped from a Jojo comic book.
