Netflix releases official trailer for ‘Mr. McMahon’ docuseries

Seeing Benoit in the trailer is telling as fuck. Remember this was heavily gonna be WWE driven especially since we see all the big names like HHH, Cena, Austin, Rock & Vince himself. Once that scandal broke it stopped being a big puff piece for Vince.

This being largely a puff piece ruins it for me already.

Yeah......this ain't that. You must of only seen the first 30 secs of the trailer. This isn't a WWE favored doc nor somebody else doing a pro McMahon doc.

They even tried to get the chick McMahon is accused of doing all those horrendous things to do a interview for it but I'm sure her lawyer told her don't do it because of an open case.

I seen that its not gonna be McMahon propaganda like I thought. I think I read the last episode will be where shit hits the fan. But ima keep skeptical til it airs. That trailer did it no justice having Vince all up in it and his lackeys talkin him up unless they just werent tryin to show their hand just yet.

Report: Vince McMahon tried to buy ‘Mr. McMahon’ docuseries back from Netflix

The subject of Netflix’s new documentary series Mr. McMahon made his feelings on it known yesterday (Sept. 23). In a rare public statement, Vince McMahon wrote that he’s seen an "an early partial...

Matthew Belloni of Puck reports that two sources told him that McMahon tried to purchase the docuseries from Netflix prior to his resignation from WWE parent company TKO. In his “What I’m Hearing” newsletter, Belloni writes:

Vince also had Endeavor C.E.O. Ari Emanuel, his new partner in TKO, chime in on his behalf, also voicing concern about the doc’s treatment of Vince’s alter ego, ‘Mr. McMahon,’ which ended up being the title of the doc.
Netflix refused to let the project go, and then this past January, the worse McMahon scandal broke, when a former employee sued alleging terrible abuse.

Netflix declined to comment on Belloni’s report. The streamer will enter into a major partnership with WWE this upcoming January to, among other things, become the new worldwide home of Raw.
 
The first reviews of Mr. McMahon, the Vince McMahon Netflix docuseries have started to hit online.

Slashfilm.com - "Vince McMahon Netflix docuseries Mr. McMahon is loaded with self-incriminating statements straight from the horse's mouth."

Men's Journal - "the Mr McMahon documentary failed to show us "the true Vince McMahon" as promised, but that's mostly because the man himself isn't interested in showing it, despite all his whining that people don't really know him."

Paste Magazine - "Mr. McMahon, Netflix's new documentary series about Vince McMahon, who owned and oversaw WWE for over 40 years. fails to fully contend with the man's sordid legacy."

The Daily Beast - "Mr. McMahon" is a comprehensive portrait of the immensely successful - and now disgraced - WWE mogul, whose vision was matched by his alleged misconduct."

The series premieres tomorrow.
 
In a recent episode of his podcast 83 Weeks, Bischoff talked about his friend, whom he only referred to as “Scott”, a Hollywood writer known for Joker and its upcoming sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux. During their conversation, Bischoff noted that Scott was well-informed about high-level developments in Hollywood. That included alleged information about McMahon’s Netflix special. Per Bischoff:

“I’ve heard some stories through my friend Scott, where because he knows a lot of these people. He knows other producers, he knows other writers, he’s familiar with them. There’s a small circle of people at that level. And, evidently, there were a couple people that Vince was interviewing to tell his story, this was Vince’s idea originally, and some of the stories that I’ve heard that Vince would tell the writers that he wanted included in this documentary that was being discussed several years ago now, were off the charts. Like, why would you volunteer that kind of information, like questionable personal family stuff.
“But Vince was like, ‘No, put it all out there, pal. Put it all out there.’ And these writers were actually uncomfortable. Now, usually, it’s the other way around. Usually, it’s the writers and the producers that want to get inside your head and, ‘What were you thinking at this point,” you know, they want you to spill your freakin’ guts because the more guts you spill, the more movie they can make or documentary they can make. And these writers and producers were actually shocked that Vince even wanted to have that conversation.”

Bischoff’s comments would suggest he is referring to writer and director Scott Silver, who co-wrote both Joker films. Given the context and potential implications, Bischoff seemingly has no reason to misrepresent information shared by his friend. Based on the anecdote provided, it could partly explain why, even before his most serious sexual scandalbecame public, McMahon reportedly tried to buy back the Mr. McMahon docuseries from Netflix.
