As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the world of WWE video games and followed the real-life drama unfolding behind the scenes, I must say that the Netflix series “Mr. McMahon” has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions. While it’s fascinating to delve into the life of one of wrestling’s most influential figures, it’s disappointing that accountability seems to be in short supply.
Netflix unveiled a limited series titled “Mr. McMahon“, offering an exclusive look behind the scenes of professional wrestling, focusing on its controversial figurehead Vince McMahon. The series delves into various scandals that have involved WWE in recent decades and represents one of the rare instances where McMahon has been candid and open to questions. However, viewers hoping for McMahon to acknowledge his past actions will likely be disappointed. A captivating aspect of this series is the involvement of the extended McMahon family – Vince’s children Stephanie and Shane, as well as his wife Linda – who also participate in interviews.
One particular episode dives into the relationship between Vince and his children, showcasing just how different they are treated. As Shane was making his way up the ranks of WWE in the 90s and 2000s, he had assumed that he’d be the one to take over the reigns should anything happen to Vince. WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman recalled a moment where he witnessed a dispute between the two where Vince held a knife up and instructed Shane to stab him in his chest if he wanted Vince to agree with his idea.
In a memorable turn of events, the most decisive confrontation between Vince and Shane occurred during a heated creative disagreement one evening. Shane proposed an idea that he strongly believed in, but Vince vehemently opposed it. As is often the case with Vince, when discussions intensify, they can quickly escalate. At one point, Vince exclaimed to Shane, “Not as long as I’m still breathing.” Intriguingly, Vince, who was eating at the time, handed his knife to Shane.

As Shane talked about his personal relationship with his dad, it seemed like there might be tension between them. Yet, after parting ways initially, Shane has continued to show up on WWE shows multiple times. In a shocking turn of events, he reappeared in 2016 to confront both his father and Stephanie, stating that his return was aimed at ensuring the company’s leadership is solid for future generations like their children and grandchildren.
In that particular year, he had a renowned steel cage battle against The Undertaker at WrestleMania, most notably performing a risky move by jumping off the cage’s peak onto the commentary table. Over the past few years, he’s been in and out of wrestling matches, including participating in PLE events at SummerSlam, Money in the Bank, and the Royal Rumble. However, during WrestleMania 39, he made a comeback but unfortunately injured his quad while executing a leap frog during an unexpected bout with The Miz. Consequently, WWE Hall of Famer Snoop Dogg stepped in to save the day with some impressive improvisation.
All six episodes of Mr. McMahon are available to stream on Netflix.
