TLDR

If you’re here for the recent stuff, just watch Episode 6.

What it's about

This docuseries covers former WWE chairman Vince McMahon’s rise to power, as well as the countless scandals and controversies that plague him to this day.

The take

Going into this, you can’t help but be intrigued because, as Vince himself admits, he doesn’t like the spotlight anymore. At the same time, watching it you also can’t help but have your guard up precisely because he’s involved, along with other McMahons and top WWE stars. Did we end up getting a necessary series? If you’re already familiar with the man and the fandom, half of this series isn’t necessary, just a lot of ruthless genius narrative that we’ve revisited more times than we need to. But given the timing, coming off of his most recent grave scandal/lawsuit, the series and its scope of voices interviewed ends up mattering a whole lot more.

What stands out

The most value you’re getting out of this is direct quotes from elusive people on key matters, as opposed to some Youtube channel parroting dirtsheets for the nth time.
