Mcmahons face looks fricking horrible


It looked bad 20 years ago before he added the sleazy porn stache.


A poster for Invasion in 2001 was a split screen with half his face and half his son Shane’s face. Looked like Two Face after taking an acid splash.

He was a great businessman and a horrible human being.

And this Vince quote:

Yikes


That is an all-time fricking horrendous quote

I really enjoyed watching this. Brought back a lot of great memories.

Had no idea about all the fricked up shite Vince went through early in his life. Doesn’t excuse his later behavior but man, how does going through that NOT frick you up mentally in some ways?


Like others have said, we’re not given a ton of new information but personally I didn’t know much of Vince’s early life and early career so it was worth it just to see that.

I really like John Stossel these days, but if this happened more often to these arrogant self entitled "journalists", the media would look a lot different. Poor John really thought he could say whatever he wanted and looked so shocked when he took that grizzly bear swipe

More members of the media need to get slapped around.

As for the documentary, most of it is stuff I already knew throughout the years but it is still very good so far. One thing I didn’t know was that McMahon’s first choice to be his first champion was Dusty but he turned him down. That might explain the yellow polka dots.



I'd never heard that before. I always heard that Hogan was the first choice, and Sgt. Slaughter was the backup plan.

I just watched the third episode, “Screwjob,” which covers the beginnings of the Monday Night Wars between the WWF and WCW.

I wasn’t aware that Eric Bischoff auditioned to announce with the WWF in the summer of 1990.

If I may indulge in some hyperbole, Bischoff joining the WWF at that time is the wrestling equivalent of Adolf Hitler getting accepted into art school or Charles Manson joining The Monkees.

The business would be altered in countless ways had Vince hired Eric before Hogan came to WCW and Nitro launched.

Just because Eric could have gotten hired doesn’t mean he would have been kept.

Tony Schivone was there for a year between 1990-1991, going back to WCW because he wasn’t a good fit in WWF. Jim Ross got hired and fired several times, he just wasn’t in a position to go back to WCW after 1994 because Bischoff didn’t want to use him (JR was too connected with Bischoff’s predecessor, Cowboy Bill Watts, for some people).

This has been a great documentary so far. Thought I would know most of the stuff that would be covered but had no idea about this ring boy scandal.

I’m a fan of over 40 years and still learned things watching this. It’s very well done.

It’s wild to look back at all the sex and violence of the vaunted Attitude Era. I was a teen then and loved every minute of it.

As a parent now, I don’t think I’d be crazy about my kids watching something like that.

I cringed when I watched this part. Makes it even funnier when New York temporarily waived SOL laws and she got to sue him and got a big payout

It’s also pretty damning with everything else he’s been accused of

I thought it was a good and interesting documentary. I quit watching wrestling in the late 90's or early 00's, so I was not familiar with a lot of information that was revealed.

WTF was up with Vince's face and eyebrows in the scenes when he was sitting for the interviews?

I only passively watched wrestling as a kid in the 80s and 90s so I just wasn't familiar with a lot of the scandals. I didn't pay attention to that as a kid.
