Netflix's Mr. McMahon docuseries "s*cked" - Why does WWE Hall of Famer feel so strongly about it?

The documentary on Vince McMahon by Netflix, titled 'Mr. McMahon' has quickly gained popularity. It delves into the rise and fall of The Boss, providing a comprehensive breakdown for viewers. While many have found the documentary satisfying, there have been critics who are not happy with how McMahon is depicted. One WWE Hall of Famer even went as far as calling it terrible.

The individual in question is Bruce Prichard. His past interactions with Vince McMahon were heavily featured in the 'Mr. McMahon' documentary series. In his interviews, he delved deep into his relationship with McMahon, emphasizing the period they worked together and Vince's entrepreneurial style. Yet, after watching a segment of the documentary, Prichard was greatly disappointed.

In the sixth and final episode of 'Mr. McMahon.' Bruce Prichard was asked by the crew what he thought of the show. With a stoic face and eyes filled with disappointment, he flat-out stated that it "s*cked". In his opinion, the docuseries was made for one thing and one thing only, to make Vince McMahon look bad.

"Thought they s*cked. I didn’t think it was balanced at all. I thought it was a gotcha piece. I thought it was portrayed as a gotcha piece. It was all about, 'How can we make Vince look bad? Let’s make him look shi**y here, let’s make him look shi**y there'," said Bruce Prichard [From 50:20 to 50:54]

The Mr. McMahon docuseries focused on several major controversies

While the docuseries did focus on Vince McMahon's rise, it seemed to pay more attention to the controversies surrounding the former chairman. His issues with wrestlers aside, it covered a lot of the major controversies The Boss had at the time.

In particular, the documentary focused on McMahon's federal court case in 1994 surrounding the illegal supply of anabolic steroids, and numerous other lawsuits he faced. From the assault allegations brought against him by Rita Chatterton to the apparent $19.6 million he supposedly paid as hush-money settlements.

Regardless of the differing opinions, the documentary has caused quite the buzz. It has certainly put a spotlight on 'Vince McMahon,' the man behind the curtain, and 'Mr. McMahon,' the character in the ring.
