Vince McMahon steps down from TKO amid allegations

[Freomaniac]

the cloud will still hover until the allegations are sorted and/or he dies

Yeah true. People will still Live in fear of him until Vince McMahon is dead

"Founder?"

It was his grandfather who's the founder Netflix ya peanut.

Technically he was the founder of WWE

Pedantically it used to be WWF - which as you point out his grandfather started

Pedantically it used to be WWF

To lump some mayo on this pedantry, it was the WWWF.

Then, to make it inedible, it was called something before it was the WWWF.

WWE revisionist history

This is why I'm genuinely fascinated to watch this - it feels like it started out as very much a puff piece, only to pivot heavily once the allegations surfaced.

Particularly keen for loaded-for-bear Bret Hart after his contributions in Death of WCW.

this might give us an idea of what to expect:

so "Vince = Bad Man, but he's gone now. Watch RAW on Netflix in Jan 2025."

Would be poetic if the series ended with Bret Hart saying "Vince screwed Vince".

The fact that Vince is putting this out makes me even more interested in the Netflix series.

He no likey what he saw.

in wrestling, they say the wrestling character is "the real person with the volume turned up to 11"...

What a shame a shady bloke with predatory personal and business practices, who is also happy to re-write history is unhappy how he's portrayed in a documentary.

If he wants to tell his side of the story, he could sit down with someone and do a long-form, nothing off-the-table honest shoot interview.

I’ve started the first episode.

Not given the guy any excuses but when you here about his upbringing you can see how he’s ended up where he is now.

Didn't think i'd ever find a bigger Bret Hark mark than me....until i saw Bret Hart !!

He’s not wrong though, he was the best wrestler at the time and IMO he’s the best in ring wrestler of all time. He’s better than Flair, Michaels, Kurt , Styles etc but Michaels had a better overall package.

Bret and Taker are two guys that were very old school and protective about the business and their characters.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Hogan bragging with pride about how he ratted out the union attempts of Jesse Ventura to Vince is probably the most honest he has ever been.

Finished the Doco.

Watched the first 3 eps then the next 3 over 2 nights.

Can't say I learned anything new.

Couple of observations which were interesting.

• The relationship between Shane and Vince.
• McMahon thinking he is nothing like the character.
• Vince on CTE.
• Still didn't get the answer in regards to who suggested the screwjob to Vince.
• Bret thinking they could have murdered Owen and forgiving Vince.

If they had 100 hours of footage and that's the best they could come up with then wow.

Last thing, special mention to Bruce Prichard who always cops crap, he doesn't need to stay loyal to Vince any more and continues to do so.

Hasn't forgotten what Vince did for him which I can respect.
