Got through the first episode. Nothing really interesting so far. Just discuss how Vince got the company through his father. Bret Hart says he loves Vince but then calls him a liar (LOL).
 
Got through four so far and I don't think this is what a lot of people probably think it will be. McMahon himself is in most of it so I doubt the sexual abuse and trafficking will be explored any deeper than what's already known.
 
Well not to derail this thread, but in keeping with "documentary" theme- "Nothin' but a Good time" 3 part docuseries on 80s hair metal is @#$@#$#$ awesome.

Paramount Plus.

Yeah . I think Meltzer is correct in his review. To the hardcore wrestling fan this is nothing surprising. The person that does not follow wrestling might be a little surprised by it.

I do think Vince is in hot water this time. See P. Diddy. It does not look good on Vince’s part he tried to stop this documentary.

What's already known is gross and forked up enough on its own.

FInished it earlier today and I gave em too much credit. Pretty much glossed over it. I have to imagine they had to work some kinda deal out with McMahon for what the contents were or he would've had it shelved.

Given that litigation is paused due to the DOJ's ongoing investigation, the filmmakers were likely constrained in what they could even say about it. However, these constraints were not imposed by McMahon himself, who had virtually no means to prevent the documentary's production. In fact, Vince reportedly attempted to purchase the documentary to kill it, but this effort was obviously unsuccessful.

I've watched about three and a half episodes, and there's little content that isn't already widely known. However, I find their handling of the Pat Patterson accusations intriguing and more diplomatically favorable than I had anticipated.

Watching it, I think this documentary was more for the non wrestling fans.
