Netflix's Mr. McMahon: Vince Says Trauma Likely Cause for Undertaker Forgetting Brock Lesnar Match, Not Concussion

As a long-time WWE fan who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless wrestling legends, I must say that the Mr. McMahon documentary on Netflix was nothing short of captivating. The journey through Vince McMahon’s life and the evolution of WWE was both exhilarating and enlightening. However, one particular moment that stood out for me was the unexpected loss of The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX to Brock Lesnar.


Over six episodes, Netflix’s documentary about Vince McMahon, titled Mr. McMahon, delves into his journey in the wrestling industry and WWE, spanning various periods. It recounts events that took place both inside and outside the ring. The discussion on concussions and CTE is recurring, with a notable segment focusing on Undertaker’s match against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX. Undertaker admits he can’t recall the match due to an early concussion, but McMahon suggests this might be more related to the emotional impact of Lesnar’s win rather than a concussion itself.

An Unexpected Loss

At WrestleMania XXX, fans were taken aback by Undertaker’s loss to Brock Lesnar, but it appears that even Undertaker himself was caught off guard by the outcome. According to the documentary, Vince McMahon informed Undertaker that Lesnar would be the victor, and while Undertaker admitted it was an unexpected choice, he revealed that he had sustained a concussion early in the match against Lesnar. Despite this injury, Undertaker continued to wrestle for another 20 to 25 minutes.

During the fight, Undertaker managed to make it through, but he claims he can’t recall much about it. What he does remember is being transported to the hospital following the bout, mentioning that Vince and his wife Michelle McCool were with him in the hospital.

Vince McMahon’s Statement

As a gamer, I’d rephrase it like this: Before the upcoming Netflix docuseries about Mr. McMahon hits the screens, McMahon himself has released a statement. He shares that he’s not regretful about being part of this project, as it offers a chance to portray an unbiased account of his life and the phenomenal empire he’s built – filled with thrill, drama, laughter, and a sprinkle of controversy and valuable lessons. However, based on a sneak peek he’s seen, the documentary seems to miss the mark by merging the ‘Mr. McMahon’ persona with his true self, Vince.

Mr. McMahon is avaiable to stream now on Netflix.
