A scripted series about Vince McMahon and his federal steroids trial is in the works from WWE and Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Television, Variety has learned.

Currently titled “The United States of America vs. Vince McMahon,” the series will be the first scripted portrayal of McMahon and many legendary figures of the WWE. Blumhouse will develop the series under the guidance of Blumhouse TV president Chris McCumber.

“We have a dramatic, riveting saga – one that’s crazier than fiction – that will appeal to the cross-section of Blumhouse and WWE fans,” said McCumber, “To say I’m thrilled about collaborating again with WWE is an understatement.”

Oh this is going to make that Stephanie 9/11 promo look tasteful.

The movie starts out in Miami.

“Where you from, Vince?”
“What the f*** does it matter where I’m from!?”

I'm a Blumhouse fan, so I suspect this will be at least interesting to watch but I'm sure they'll stretch the truth a tad. (Well, more than a tad).

What a terrible idea. McMahon has lost the last bit of his mind.

Are we going to see the Nailz confrontation reenactment as part of a flashback during his testimony?

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

I swear, so much of WWE fandom these days is this bewilderment of “How do you Hollywood types keep letting this guy make money?”.

[Perd]

Neckbrace yourselves for this.

[Bad Moon]

You know what, I know it's gonna be exactly as fake as wrestling itself, but I would still watch it. Vince is a fascinating character, even a fictionalized version of him will still be entertaining.

Only if Vince is like Lapsed Vince.

"Steroids aren't illegal if I made them in Titan Towers!!"

Lawyer: "Your honour, I'd like to cross examine the witness"
Judge: "Go ahead"
Lawyer: "Mr. McMahon, your company seems to have the momentum of a run away freight train. Why are you so popular?"

You asshole, I'm at work! How dare you make me laugh in the office!

I bet it says that one of the top three "requirements" of the actor playing Vince McMahon is "must possess a huge dick".

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

If it's Blumhouse, it'll cost roughly 19.95 to make.

Vince is gonna make himself look like a superhero like Ice Cube did Straight Outta Compton lol. He's gonna be drunk driving and then 50 cop cars surround him on the street, have their guns out and he just walks out and doesn't get shot.

Well, Batista does have Hollywood experience!

[Wieners=$$$]

Huh?

So, how exactly are they approaching this?

Are they going to make Vince look guilty as hell, or have all the witnesses look bad, or somewhere in between?

Like, I would probably watch for the laughs if they decided to portray Vincent Kennedy McMahon as a naive victim throughout the entire series🤔😁👍

You know, a naive coke-snorting victim, but totally innocent.

This sounds like such a hot mess and I for one could not be any more excited.
