For wrestling fans, "Mr. McMahon" isn't revealing anything new, but the way Smith exposes the parallels between Vince McMahon's behavior, attitude, and personality and the way pro wrestling has evolved in tandem is some world-class craftsmanship.
-
A comprehensive portrait of a man and an industry defined by the ever-blurry line between fact and fiction.
-
Mr. McMahon isn’t the whole story, and it’s not reasonable to expect it to be given the financial conflict of interest between Netflix and WWE. It’s still a fascinating story, though, and there’s a lot to be taken from Mr. McMahon, even if you take it with a grain of salt on the side. (Or perhaps in the eyes.)

Mr. McMahon is the only wrestling documentary you’ll see that not only has Vince McMahon talking at length about his life and career, but will then question McMahon about some of the bullshit he consistently spews. .... But despite its six hour runtime and copious amounts of interviews, it doesn’t dig deeply enough into the man himself. His victims go underrepresented.
