This is the new doc about McMahon, starting from his learning the biz under his father, going through the allegations that ultimately took him down.

I am currently watching the final episode. It is starting with Benoit and CTE.

It has been 20 years, and the whole Benoit thing STILL hits me like a ton of bricks. I legit still have not come to terms with that whole thing. Owen has become a piece of trivia. The WWF takeover of WCW is a matter for the history books. But Benoit still feels like it is breaking news.

I finished it up last night. Decent doc, nothing that plugged in wrestling fans hadn't already known about. Felt like they could have went in more on Vince because at times it felt more like a history of WWE doc.

I was disappointed in their lack of coverage of the allegations. I guess I understand the decision, seeing as the allegations are NOT PG and they are still working through the courts, but I still don’t have a super clear picture as to what the allegations are (I have more clarity now than I did, though, tbf).

As far as separating the WWF/E from VKM, I think that the main theme in the doc was that separating them would have been impossible. VKM is/was WWF/E and WWF/E is/was VKM.

Well I mean as they briefly mentioned about at the end, the entire doc was filmed and finished all the interviews before the allegations even came to light so I doubt they were going to get people back once they were all finished to talk about some thing that major.

VKM cancelled his final interview session as it was scheduled for the day the charges dropped.

Again, I understand them not going into super depth on the charges/allegations. I was just hoping for more.
