Mr. McMahon (2024)

[wtfNeedSignUp]

And finished it. It's interesting but highly manipulative for modern politics. Vince is Mr. BadMan for essentially appealing to the "wrong" audience. All the sexual allegations are just the usual showbiz sleep into promotion that's become an easy way for the "victims" to get huge amount of money post MeToo. Vince's real crime was that he didn't have the protection of Hollywood and he ate into their profit margins, which spurned constant witchhunts until he bent the knee (make it all ages and a publicly traded company) and from there he was swiftly removed after he was no longer required.

The guy comes across similar to the main POV of Tiger King - Very self interested person but with boatloads of charisma and he might as well end up in jail as well for what sounds like the usual impossible to prove claims made by a journo who isn't even qualified to flip burgers. The special itself basically jumps around to 40+ years of controversaries and ignores the fact that the dude is in charge of a massive business and has a lot of people dependent on him and even when he tries to do good "it's never enough".

And yeah, the appealing to the blue collar male population is put loud and clear in the last episode, with using Trump as an obvious bludgeon on how they should be disrepected and Vince should be hated because, like I said, it wasn't Hollywood that likes to suck its own cock.

Overall while the documentary is interesting, it's way too slow and goes about uninteresting shit (like Vince's kids) with the whole wrestling world stops being interesting as we reach post 2010+ and the media landscape itself dying from being overly gay and safe. Like a massive pendulum swing with how the 2000's were. Which makes me wonder, is wrestling today good?

It never was.

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?

Owen was to have a spotlight on him during the stunt, and the arena was dark and a backstage interview was being shown on the stage screen. When the lights came up, Owen was in the ring being attended to by paramedics.

All anyone present was told, aside from the announcers, was that Owen had fallen and was seriously injured. The live crowd found out when they saw it on the news.

Spoiler: Actual Answer

No, unless there's a "your guy" still wrestling in which case yes, for the duration of ~5-20 minutes per week. It's missing a lot of heart and soul, seeing walking mountains of muscle is the exception and not the rule, promos feel mediocre at best 70% of the time(or all the time if it's AEW), the matches are often booked with very baffling outcome, and any fandom is either there to e-thirst over not very attractive women I don't think I've hated the "thing, japan" phenomenon more than I do in wrestling and the "joshis" attempting to wrestle or in the Grand Retard War.

To summarize a very dumb thing, people are rating wrestling matches as if they were real sports matches, and the schism is between "we want to be entertained with promos and storylines" and "we want workrate(as in how many moves were performed on a minute to minute basis, high flying spots, big gymnastic routines and so on) wrestling" and the whole thing is basically a proxy of the WWE vs AEW retard war.

On the other hand if you're really into people sawdusting the fuck out of themselves and find gymnastic routines in the ring enjoyable, AEW would be for you. You'll also get the occasional laugh when the routines are choreographed like shit like the video above.

Wrestling was only good in the early '90s when Shawn Michaels was karate kicking Native Americans while Vince did commentary. The Arcade Game was when it peaked. Also that chick who did the splits to get in the ring was hot af. This show sounds like typical lefty Netflix rich-man-bad propaganda.

It's a documentary that was agreed to by the subject because he thought it would be his victory lap as he wound down his career, but since he is a sociopathic creep, even the parts where he's talking about himself show what a piece of shit he is, and then during filming he was revealed to have been even worse than people who knew about a lot of his behaviour even thought he was.

It goes from covering the basics for a general audience to peeling back more than you'd expect, to the point where McMahon tried to buy the series himself to bury it.

In short, you're an idiot.

Because commies never manipulate things for propaganda purposes. Thanks for setting me straight!

Vince's greatest crime was tarnishing the Surf's Up series
