Paid Members Daaaaaad! Posted July 26, 2021 Paid Members Posted July 26, 2021 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/vince-mcmahon-scripted-series-wwe-blumhouse-1234988149/ Quote WWE chairman Vince McMahon, who has frequently played the heel on the company’s wrestling shows, will get to be the good guy in a scripted series. Blumhouse Television is partnering with the WWE to develop a limited series based on McMahon’s 1990s trial for allegedly supplying steroids to members of the WWE roster. "The United States of America vs. Vince McMahon" will be the first scripted portrayal of a part of the company’s history and the stars of that era. McMahon will be an executive producer of the project along with WWE’s chief of global television distribution Kevin Dunn, McCumber, Blumhouse founder Jason Blum and Jeremy Gold. With Dunn on production (look out for camera cuts galore) and Vince as a producer, I can't wait for this realistic and even-handed dramatic recreation of the events of 1994's steroid trial. Particularly enjoyed the show's logline: “with his liberty at stake, two school-aged children at home and with WWE on the brink of bankruptcy, [McMahon] refused to take a plea deal. Ultimately, McMahon stood trial and was acquitted unanimously by a jury of his peers and went on to build a multi-billion-dollar global sports entertainment empire.” So I guess the big question is, will Vince play himself like he's DeNiro in 'The Irishman'?
Paid Members chokeout Posted July 26, 2021 Paid Members Posted July 26, 2021 I hope it starts with the audio of that time Stephanie compared the 9/11 attacks to her dad being done in the steroid trials. Really set the mood for an even and balanced production.
The King Of Swing Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Has all the potential to be a glorious train wreck.
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted July 26, 2021 Awards Moderator Posted July 26, 2021 John Cena to play Vince please.
Merzbow Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 If they can get Cena, Batista and The Rock to all act in it I'd watch no matter how shit it is.
The Gaffer Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 It's WWE produced? This thing obviously casts itself, then. Just need to sort out Jesse the Body, Nailz and a few others.
Mr Kennedy Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Has there been any more news about the Netflix documentary about Vince?
Chili Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 It's going to be probably the closest thing we get to a real life 'A Star is Burns'.
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 26, 2021 Paid Members Posted July 26, 2021 Jason Blum going to try and do with McMahon what he did with the Warrens. It's a massive no from me.
CL Punk Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 I was wondering why Blumhouse would produce this series as they are mainly known for making cheap but profitable horror movies but then I remembered what Ol' Vinnie Mac looks like now... ...he's more frightening than Jason, Freddy and Michael Myers put together.
Paid Members Tommy! Posted July 27, 2021 Paid Members Posted July 27, 2021 It's going to be all the bollocks. They should go full on with it as a comedy, like those Urban Myths shows on sky arts.
theringmaster Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Any update on the Hemsworth Hogan film? Has it been filmed?
Factotum Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Vince's taste in ties is really fucking questionable. Horrendous

Chasingamymatt Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 This cant be real surely? I know he got off on distribution but how many of the wrestlers/vince himself admitted use when it was a federal offense?
