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.
>“I never understand that. Why in the world would I ever blame Vince McMahon for me taking pain pills, or for me getting concussions, or for doing steroids, or working while I’m hurt? Why in the world would I blame him? I can’t imagine any reason—except a lie—if I were to put that on Vince and say it was his fault. Now, other people have had different experiences. I’ve heard some of the boys complain that they were forced to keep working when they were hurt. I never bothered telling them I was hurt. It was all on me if I was hurt, which I wasn’t, because I could still work.”
>”When Vince slapped the notebook out of that guy’s hand and the guy said, ‘How can you say none of these are your responsibility? They wrestled for you.’ What the f*** does that mean? I agree with Vince on that. I’m not saying he should’ve smacked the book out of the guy’s hand—he was definitely trying to intimidate him, moving closer and closer to bully him—but I agree with how ridiculous the question is. How do you take responsibility for all these wrestlers who died just because they used to wrestle for you? What the f***?
>What if a lot of them went to my third-grade Spanish class? Unless they got hurt on the job—like Owen, that’s different. Owen got hurt on the job, and people can link that directly to WWE’s production. But that’s so different than someone who wrestled there, did Somas, Norcos, Vicodin, Valium, and all that way before they ever met Vince McMahon—and kept doing it while they were there—and now it’s Vince’s fault? No, I can’t get behind that.”
