Vince McMahon’s complicated and controversial story was finally told on the six-part Mr. McMahon Netflix docuseries. There are a lot of tales to tell, and some of them involve the cutthroat world of television battles. The Monday Night Wars took a spotlight during the series, and Vince spoken candidly on the matter.

In 1995, the rivalry between WCW and WWE escalated when WCW Nitro launched, directly competing with WWE Raw. Both companies began taking shots at each other on television, using commentary, skits, and other tactics.

In his Mr. McMahon documentary, Vince McMahon shared his mindset during the time when Ted Turner and Eric Bischoff were actively targeting him and WWE. He summed it up to the public simply not understanding what he’s thinking, because often feels different from the things he actually says.

“Some would think it might be hypocritical for me to say, ‘Uh, okay, I don’t hurt someone else. I just do what’s best for me.’ Yet, when someone comes after me, I don’t think they have the right. Sure, they have the right. What I say, a lot of times, is totally different than what I think. The public doesn’t understand that sometimes. As a businessman, you have to throw things out there. It’s not really the way you feel, but it controls the thought process by doing that.”
