The much-awaited Mr. McMahon documentary has finally been released on Netflix and the series covers many of the scandals and controversies surrounding Vince McMahon, including the steroid scandal and other legal battles. In fact, RVD has come forward to defend McMahon amidst the discussions brought up by the documentary.
The docuseries takes a deep look at Vince McMahons career, focusing on some of the more controversial moments during his time in WWE. It covers topics like Sables sexual harassment claims and McMahons efforts to defend himself against assault accusations made by former WWE referee Rita Chatterton. It became evident that the documentary doesnt avoid these tough issues.
Obviously, the drug scandal and wrestlers suing Vince McMahon for their injures were major topics of discussion in the documentary as well. While speaking on his 1 of a Kind podcast, RVD said he doesnt understand why some wrestlers blame Vince McMahon for their personal choices, like taking pain pills, getting concussions, using steroids, or wrestling while hurt.
The Whole Fn Show explained that he never thought it was Vince McMahons fault and always took responsibility for his own health. He mentioned that some wrestlers had different experiences and said they were forced to wrestle while injured, but he never told anyone when he was hurt because he could still perform.
RVD also talked about a time when Vince McMahon slapped a notebook out of someones hand during an argument. The person had asked Vince if he was responsible for wrestlers who had died, just because they used to work for him. RVD agreed with McMahon that the question didnt make sense. He said that unless the wrestlers were hurt while working for WWE, Vince shouldnt be blamed for their choices, like using drugs or painkillers, which they had often started before joining the company.
RVD made an exception for Owen Harts case, saying it was different because his death was directly related to WWEs production. However, for others, RVD believed it was unfair to hold McMahon accountable for their personal issues.
Vince McMahon also allegedly hired a hitman to do his dirty work, among other things. Nonetheless, many fans may not agree with what RVD had to say but he has a right to his own opinion no matter what.
