In 1995, WCW and WWE went to war with the launch of WCW Nitro going head-to-head with WWE Raw.
The two sides began taking shots at each other on television through commentary, skits, and other means.
Speaking on his "Mr. McMahon" documentary, Vince McMahon explained his thought process as Ted Turner and Eric Bischoff were going after him and WWE.
"Some would think it might be hypocritical for me to say, 'Uh, okay, I don't hurt someone else. I just do what's best for me.' Yet, when someone comes after me, I don't think they have the right. Sure, they have the right. What I say, a lot of times, is totally different than what I think. The public doesn't understand that sometimes. As a businessman, you have to throw things out there. It's not really the way you feel, but it controls the thought process by doing that," he said.
Vince would ultimately win the war, purchasing WCW in 2001.
All six episodes of "Mr. McMahon" are streaming on Netflix.
