Netflix’s Mr. McMahon “Only Scratches The Surface” of Vince’s “Criminal Behavior”

Netflix's Mr. McMahon "Only Scratches The Surface" of Vince's "Criminal Behavior"

As someone who has spent countless hours watching wrestling and documentaries, I have always been fascinated by the enigmatic figure that is Vince McMahon. However, after watching Netflix’s “Mr. McMahon,” my admiration for the man has waned significantly. The series paints a picture of a complex individual, yet it seems to me that the lines between his on-screen persona and real life are frighteningly blurred.


The Netflix series titled “Mr. McMahon” offers a comprehensive look at the life and career of Vince McMahon, portraying both his professional and private self. The six-part documentary takes viewers through the entire journey of this former WWE Chairman, from joining his father’s wrestling business to the sex trafficking lawsuit that marked the end of his WWE involvement. In the series, Vince often dismisses comparisons between his villainous, womanizing, and manipulative on-screen character and his true nature. However, some WWE stars have contradicted these claims, with some stating that “Mr. McMahon” is a reflection of the real Vince, while others assert that there’s no distinction between the two characters in reality.

In January of this year, Janel Grant – a previous employee of WWE – brought forward a lawsuit alleging that Vince McMahon, the former WWE Chairman, had sexually harassed and trafficked her for sexual purposes to other WWE staff members during multiple years.

In response to Netflix’s ‘Mr. McMahon’, Grant’s legal representative highlighted that the documentary series portrays Vince’s on-screen persona as an accurate representation of his personal character.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but reflect on the profound impact of the “Mr. McMahon” docuseries. It leaves no room for doubt that the larger-than-life character portrayed by Vince McMahon on screen is not just a role, but an extension of his true self. The man we see on our screens, with his explosive outbursts, unconventional sexual tendencies, and masterful manipulation – these are the very traits that Janel Grant alleges she encountered behind the closed doors of WWE for years.

Although the documentary series exposed McMahon’s thirst for power and dominance, it merely hinted at his criminal activities. It doesn’t provide a comprehensive account of his abuses, sexual assaults, and alleged human trafficking against Ms. Grant. It is crucial that she has the chance to narrate her experiences, whenever she is ready, in a manner that suits her. We eagerly await her court appearance and the moment when McMahon finally faces justice for his actions.

Hey there fellow gamers! So, I’ve got some news regarding my ongoing legal dispute with Vince. Seems like the US Department of Justice has asked us to hit pause for a bit while they look into the allegations against him. They’re investigating him on federal grounds, you see.

According to a statement made by Ms. Grant’s attorney in May, she has agreed to put her case against Mr. McMahon, WWE, and Mr. Laurinaitis on hold at the request of the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, due to an ongoing confidential investigation. Her lawyer also mentioned that they will comply with any further necessary steps in this matter.
