The highly anticipated Mr. McMahon documentary has finally been released, and wrestling fans everywhere have already watched it and confirmed a lot of suspicions about McMahon. In fact, a former WWE writer claims McMahon incriminated himself in the documentary.
The Mr. McMahon docuseries on Netflix has led to a significant conversation about the former WWE chairman and his controversial actions during his time in charge. After all, a lot of controversial topics were handled, including Sable’s sexual harassment, McMahon’s attempting to justify his past assault allegations and more.
While speaking on this week’s episode of BroDown with Vince Russo, the former writer commented that McMahon’s own words compromised him more than any editing or production decisions.
Russo suggested that McMahon was concerned about how he would be portrayed and even considered buying the docuseries before its release. According to Russo, McMahon’s statements in the series ultimately incriminated him, making it clear that the portrayal was rooted in his own admissions rather than any external manipulation.
“Bro, Vince buried himself, man. Vince buried himself on that Netflix docu-drama. Vince incriminated himself, his own words. Not the producers of the show, not the directors of the show, not the editing. Bro, Vince, Vince, his own words incriminated himself. That’s why Vince wanted to buy this docuseries from Netflix before it even aired.”
It has also been reported that hours of footage were removed from the documentary, and McMahon needed reminders about certain events throughout filming. Nonetheless, the documentary confirmed to many people what kind of person Vince McMahon is, and we’ll have to see whether he will land behind bars once the sexual trafficking lawsuit ends.
