It is no news that wrestling fans are eagerly anticipating the release of “Mr McMahon” which is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on September 25. The series is expected to offer a closer look at the former WWE Chairman’s colorful personality, both his impressive accomplishments and his controversial moments. In a rare move for the notoriously private McMahon, he agreed to participate in extensive interviews for the series.

However, much of the content was reportedly gathered before the serious sex trafficking allegations surfaced against McMahon earlier this year. Recently, sports analyst and wrestler, Jonathan Coachman also called “The Coach” appeared on the “Gabby AF” podcast where he didn’t shy away from giving his honest opinions on McMahon who he called a recluse and isolated.

While he made it clear he wasn’t commenting on the specifics of the allegations, he described them as “disgusting” and implied they were grounded in some level of truth. Coachman also painted a stark picture of McMahon’s personal life. According to him, McMahon is not just intimidating but also remarkably isolated. Speaking on the subject, he said,

“I've never commented on the allegations, but I think they're disgusting. I think they come from somewhere. And also, if you've never been around Vince, not only is he intimidating... you probably have more than a few friends that on a Saturday afternoon, or on a Sunday afternoon, you say, 'Hey, the football game's on, you wanna come over and watch it?' Vince doesn't have one of those people in his life. Not one. Doesn't have a friend that's [like], 'Hey, you wanna go have a drink?”

Coachman went a step further, proposing a rather harsh theory about McMahon’s interactions with others. He speculated that when McMahon is seen dining out with high-profile individuals like John Cena, it’s often because those people want something from him—whether it’s a favor, a business deal, or just to be seen with a powerful figure. Coachman implied that these interactions are more about leveraging McMahon’s influence rather than genuine friendship.

Overall, Coachman’s comments paint a rather unflattering picture of Vince McMahon, highlighting the personal costs that may come with a life of power and isolation. It remains to be seen how these perspectives will fit into the Netflix series, but they certainly add a layer of intrigue to the unfolding narrative of McMahon’s life and career.
