Top AEW star gets brutally honest about Vince McMahon's controversial documentary - "I didn’t see anything that shocked me"
Netflix recently released a controversial documentary on Vince McMahon titled Mr. McMahon. Recently, a top AEW star gave his honest opinion on the documentary.
Shelton Benjamin is the latest to comment on the documentary. Vince McMahon is one of the most problematic figures in professional wrestling. Over the years, he has found himself in a lot of headlines.
Given his larger-than-life persona, Netflix interviewed Vince to do a documentary on his life and career. The documentary was recently released and it didn't paint the former WWE chairman in the best light.
During an interview on the Gabby AF podcast, Shelton Benjamin said that there was nothing in the documentary that shocked him since he had heard all the stories before.
“I watched it, and I didn’t see anything that shocked me. I didn’t – I didn’t see anything that, for me, was, uh, unknown. Like, you know, most of the stories and things people talked about, there was nothing there that I personally found, uh, shocking as far as the stories or anything like that. Now, you start getting into the intimate details—well, I don’t want to get into that messy stuff, because, hey, what people do behind closed doors, right?" [H/T: Ringside News]

Shelton Benjamin said that Vince McMahon incriminated himself in the Netflix documentary
Vince McMahon is currently in the midst of a lawsuit, filed by Janel Grant, which accused the former WWE Chairman of sexual assault among other things. The Netflix documentary shined a bit of light on the ongoing lawsuit. However, there were times in the documentary when Vince got a little too candid for the cameras.
During the same interview, Shelton Benjamin believed that Vince may have incriminated himself by going into too much detail in his documentary that won't help him in his lawsuit.
"But, uh, for the most part, there wasn’t a lot there that made me go, you know—wow. I mean, like everyone else, there were some moments where I felt Vince himself was just kind of showing his hand a bit more than I’m even used to. There were some moments where I was like, ‘Why?’ You know, you were fine, and then you said that. It’s like, ‘Oh, that’s okay.’ Now you’re giving credibility to the negative stuff that’s being said about you with that one little extra comment that might have been left off.” [H/T: Ringside News]
