AEW’s Tony Schiavone Snubs Netflix’s WWE-Vince McMahon Series, Citing Personal Grudge

One big thing

AEW commentator Tony Schiavone has declared he won’t watch the upcoming Netflix docuseries on Vince McMahon, citing a long-standing grudge against executive producer Bill Simmons.

Why it matters

Schiavone’s stance highlights the lingering tensions and personal rivalries that still exist in the wrestling industry, even decades after the Monday Night Wars.

The details

• Schiavone expressed his refusal to watch the series on his podcast “What Happened When.”

• His exact words: “I will never watch anything Bill Simmons does. He can go suck a d**k.”

• The six-episode Netflix series, titled “Mr. McMahon,” is set to release in September.

• It aims to explore McMahon’s career and the recent scandals surrounding him.

The backstory

• Schiavone revealed that Simmons was highly critical of him during the WCW years.

• He stated, “Bill was very critical of me during the WCW years. And you know what, said some very terrible things.”

• This grudge has led Schiavone to boycott other Simmons-related content, including the “30 for 30” series.

The bigger picture

The upcoming Netflix series has garnered significant interest due to:

• McMahon’s resignation from WWE

• The lawsuit filed against McMahon, WWE, and John Laurinaitis by Janel Grant

• The ongoing federal investigation into McMahon

What to watch

As the release date approaches, it will be interesting to see how the wrestling community reacts to the series, especially given the mixed feelings many have towards McMahon’s legacy.
