So it's Sunday and I was up at 5.30am with my daughter. As Sesame Street droned on in the background I was wondering, does anybody think there will ever be a Vince McMahon biopic movie made?
Logistically I'm not sure how they would do it. The guy has had a hell of a life, and I'm sure there's plenty more to come. What chapter of his life would be focused on or would it span across the 80's and 90's? You could start the movie with him building up to WrestleMania I and the fall out and all of his successes in the 1980's. Then in the middle you could divert to the steroid trial at the start of the 1990's and all of the complications that brought to him. To finish off, how about another huge incident in WWE history, the Montreal screw job? There's loads of stuff you could do.
I don't think we'll ever see it while Vince is still alive and when he does pass away I expect there to be a few books etc written about the man himself and perhaps the skeletons in his closet (of which I think there are many). This could make the movie very juicy, but any film dishing the dirt on the patriarch of the company would limit involvement from the WWE itself which could cheapen the movie a great deal.
Anyway, just a thought I had this morning in my exhausted state. Who would you guys have play Vince McMahon? What would you do with the movie? And do you ever see it happening? Personally if done right I think it's a really interesting concept.

I'd watch it. Kevin Spacey for Vinnie Mac.
Vince is a straight up mob boss...if they played off of that, then it'd be entertaining as Hell.

I think a series of films based on Vince's life could be very entertaining. Don't know how well they would do as theatrical releases, maybe Netflix deals. First film, Vince McMahon: The Man Who Created Sports Entertainment. Focuses on the eighties, his rise as the owner, birth of WrestleMania. Second one Vince McMahon: The Man Who Went To War. Focuses on the nineties, the scandals, New Generation into Attitude, Monday Night Wars,changing the game. Third one, Vince McMahon: The Man Who Won The War. Focuses on the 2000's, Ruthless Aggression days, toning down the product and going PG. Fourth and final one, Vince McMahon: The Man Who Changed Sports Entertainment. Focuses on 2010 onwards as Vince slows down. Deals with the IWC playing into things, launching the Network, and criticism of him losing his touch. Who could play Vince?  that's a tough one for me. Plus my idea would need a S#!tload of different actors for each different personality. |

Quiad looks the part for sure.
I've always wanted to see a WWE fact based film.
It's something I've always thought we'd see at some point.

I always thought Dustin Hoffman kind of looked like Vince.

An actual biopic without WWE trying to fluff down the roids, drug use, and other controversies they want us to forget about would be absolutely awesome. Chances he signs off on that: 0 percent.

If he made one himself I think it'd be exactly like Mr. Burns' movie 
I could see Gerald Briscoe playing Bumble Bee Man's role as he smokes on a cheap Cuban cigar like in that famous Gerald Briscoe photo & randomly yelling out... VIVA MR. MCMAHON!
Ofcourse Judah Ben-Hur would have to be Ted Turner as he crawls desperately in the desert & openly admits to Vince.. YOU TRUELY ARE.. KING AMONG KINGS!
That would sure to stroke Vince's ego. ;]
