We’re breaking our usual Q&A rotation this month so we can have a talk about the recent Netflix series about Vince McMahon while it’s fresh in our minds!

We would love to hear your thoughts and feelings on the series as well as any questions you may have for us about what we reckoned to it!

Drop your comments below and Kefin and Adam will go through them during this month’s Q&A episode!

I think the documentary was more a WWE promotion piece for the upcoming move to Netflix, told through the eyes of Vince McMahon. Very clever by Netflix, but it didn't offer a great deal of information I didn't already know Well apart from Vince having several computers in his head telling him sexy stuff, but whatever

As a wrestling fan with already a good knowledge of the key points, I found myself trying to work out how I would have understood or perceived the narrative of the series if I wasn't a fan or didn't have much knowledge of the industry and BTS goings on. How do you feel that did at managing this knowledge gap of the potential audience.

Still have one episode left but the Shane McMahon portion was really sad. Felt for that guy. He was my favorite wrestler when I was a kid and deserves better.

Simon James

Do you think there will be a place for anyone with the surname McMahon in the Netflix version of WWE?

Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett

Not quite seen all of it but know the big points, what statement was more ludicrous, Undertaker being so traumatised by having to lose to Lesnar that he doesn’t remember the Mania 30 match or Austin saying he doesn’t believe in CTE? Also can we just acknowledge that yes, while Vince paying for Prichard’s wife’s cancer treatment is a very admirable and generous thing to do, that doesn’t excuse or erase how fucking abhorrent he has been to so many of his employees, excluding the Janel Grant case because that’s on an entirely different playing field.

How many computers are in your brains right now and how many are focused on sex?

Ashleigh Clements

In you recommendation is the documentary essential viewing as I’ll be signing up to Netflix in the new year?

My thoughts on the documentary is that while it was more open than I expected going into it, it is ultimately a very basic telling of Vince's story that everyone online knew of with maybe small new bits about his relationship with Shane and Stephanie. My worries about the documentary came true however because I didn't think this documentary would make any grand impact on the business nor would it grab the attention of non-wrestling fans except for maybe true-crime people. It felt more like WWE's attempt at a Hail Mary with Netflix with their deal about to start given their quick nature in burying everything related to Vince to gather as much good will as possible despite people in WWE management responsible for enabling WWE's toxic work culture still involved in the company despite lawsuit details. That said I did come out of the documentary with a bigger respect for Shane for seemingly breaking the cycle and at least an understanding of Stephanie although I very much don't excuse her involvment in previous things and god knows what if more stories related to the ongoing lawsuit come out. Questions I would ask would be, what is the most insane thing to have discovered in this documentary and what would be your hope for the future of the business now that at least Vince is gone? Apologies for the wordy response but I wanted to get all my thoughts out the best I could on the subject.

I did the unusual thing of watching it with non wrestling fan friends, and they found it really interesting (but did wonder why McMahon wasn't in jail). I think non wrestling fans were more the target audience than, well, people like us! As for questions: Is there anyone you think the documentary didn't speak to, but should have? In a similar vein (if you don't mind me cheating by trying to squeeze in two questions), is there anyone you think the documentary did speak to but shouldn't have bothered with?

I don't have any questions about the documentary, as it was more or less on the level of what I expected. But in your own words, could you explain the distinction between Kefin Mahon and his podcasting character Mr. Mahon?

Did you guys think is was unfair or was specificity made to make Vince look bad ?

Dr. Judge, Private Eye

With how much inaccurate stuff and flat-out lies make it into this "very real and unflattering" docuseries, it's genuinely made me question the veracity of a lot of those early shoots that got traded around and 'shoot interviews' in-general. Going back and listening to stories like "Meng's so tough, he'd win ALL the MMA titles if he wanted to!" to "every territory had a shooter who'd break bones for real!" to literally everything Kevin Nash has ever said with a belly full of comped red wine: do you think there's even a way to accurately depict pro-wrestling history, or is it just levels of kayfabe stacked on top of each other?

Ken Hanley

Given that the entire direction of the documentary had to change with the Janell Grant lawsuit surfacing, what do you think the original ending of the Mr. McMahon docuseries would have looked like, especially considering how often they handled the more damning subjects with kid gloves throughout?
