Jim Ross Discloses Why He Hasn’t Watched “Mr. McMahon” On Netflix

Jim Ross previously revealed that producers hadn’t asked him to participate in Netflix’s new docuseries on Vince McMahon, which had left him somewhat peeved, considering how closely he worked with the disgraced billionaire. Therefore, him not watching “Mr. McMahon” is understandable, especially as he lived most of what was covered. However, he has now stated on his podcast that the actual reason he hasn’t watched it, and likely won’t, is because he isn’t very good with technology and has never watched anything on Netflix.

“I have not invested. I’ve read some reviews, I’ve seen some clips. But to say I’ve watched an entire episode, I have not. And I’m not mad at it, I’m not boycotting it. It’s just that, you know, I’m not so sure I even get Netflix. If I watch this show on Netflix, it’ll be the first Netflix presentation that I’ve checked out.

And I hear good things about it, I’m not angry. Just, you know, I’m not as technically friendly as a lot of guys, so I don’t put myself in that position. There’s plenty to watch on television other than that if I choose to now.”

72-year-old Ross worked for WWE on and off between 1993 and 2019 as both an on-air talent and in an executive role, proving he really should have been interviewed for the docuseries given how close he was to McMahon. Still, as is currently All Elite, perhaps Netflix and WWE didn’t want to acknowledge their competition, even though Ross will forever be connected to WWE due to being inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2007.
