David Shoemaker Says Linda McMahon Wasn't The Most Forthcoming In 'Mr. McMahon' Interview, Did Ask About Vince McMahon's Affairs

Vince McMahon's life and career are covered in the docuseries "Mr. McMahon," which features interviews with wrestlers and members of the McMahon family.

The series touches on Vince's admission of having affairs while married to Linda, and tying it into on-screen storylines he was involved in.

While the affairs are mentioned, Vince doesn't give much information about them, and Linda doesn't comment.

"I think it's clear from watching, you asked about Vince not giving you anything, Linda was not the most forthcoming person in that interview either. I think I was there for that one, I don't even remember if there was more good stuff on the cutting room floor. I certainly wish we could have gotten more details about that from her. It's a very business relationship, I would say," said "Mr. McMahon" consulting producer David Shoemaker on the SI Media podcast when asked about interviewing Linda and if she was asked about the affairs.

A lawsuit filed by former employee Janel Grant in January shed more details on Vince's affairs and relationship with Linda.

All six episodes of "Mr. McMahon" are now streaming on Netflix.
