Mr. McMahon (Wrestling, Vince McMahon, Hulk Hogan, Donald Trump, documentary, 2024)

A 6 hour long riveting documentary in 6 parts with Vince McMahon about American wrestling plus many, many others things, the man who unified American wrestling and made it mainstream all around the world. You dont have to be a wrestling fan or hater to enjoy this documentary! Vince McMahon took WWE (WWF) to new heights, fending off competition, scandals, even deaths, but where do the lines blur between Vince McMahon and his on screen character, Mr McMahon end, where do the lines between real violence and fake violence in the hyper violent “Attitude era“ end ? It is genuinely like a soap opera, it’s so outlandish, so over the top, so extreme, the characters feel exactly that, unlike any possible real person, and that’s the appeal I guess, it’s almost like a real life cartoon. It’s unreal, even for someone who gave up on wrestling probably in about 1998. McMahon is shown in the titles as a puppet master, and that’s exactly what he is. It’s pinch of salt stuff, that is until the final episode, where it takes a dramatic shift, and suddenly feels very real. Very well made, goofy interviews, as well as some very serious ones. It explores various different elements of wrestling, the people, the business, the mistakes, deaths and injuries, it even talks about its bright future.
