MR.MCMAHON Review: Vince McMahon faces his character, Mr.McMahon, in a documentary where fiction and reallity collides seeking for the truth
Vince McMahon has always been a peculiar figure hard to distinguish from the character he played on television from the man who hid behind all that facade, however, his success as entrepreneur cannot go unnoticed. Following his father´s footsteps Vince took the reins of the Proffesional Wrestling organization then called WWF, turning a regional business into a multi-global phenonemon that generates billions of dollars and has captivated worldwide audiences for more than forty years, trespassing the boundaries of sport and entertainment,
This 6 episodes Netfllix documentary, chronicles the reign of McMahon from its origins as his father subordinate, until taking the reins of the company breaking all the established boundaries, changing the Wrestling landscape forever. Unveiling his ability to create characters that became icons, not looking away from his problems with justice, including the accusations that incriminates him of sexual misconduct and traffic.
Throughout interviews with McMahon, -after the late accusations that incriminated him on Sexual trfficking and misconduct he refused to keep collaborating with the documentary-, and the testimonies of his family and the people who worked with him, including most of the WWE superstars, the documentary gives the audience a rough and uncompromising honest portait of the man behind the character, an image that is often mixed, leaving a strange and confusing feeling about which of the two is the one that best fits reality.
Although the great virtue of this documentary, -beyond offering an objective view of McMahon with his lights and many shadows, that allows the viewer to draw their own conclusions-, is that also works as a perfect chronicle of the history of WWE and its heroes, i retrospective full of nostalgia and discovery that reveals all the ins and outs of a company that found its path to become an important part of our popular culture.
