WWE has announced that they have partnered with Blumhouse to produce an upcoming series titled The United States of America Vs. Vince McMahon which will be a scripted portal of the infamous 1994 steroids trial. Confirmed to be Executive Producers are Kevin Dunn, who is WWE Executive Producer and Chief of Global Television Distribution, as well as McMahon himself. The press release reveals the series will be totally pro-WWE based on the wording, and the government victimized McMahon, but he was triumphant in the end.
For those unaware, in 1993, McMahon was indicted for two counts of distributing steroids and one of conspiracy to distribute steroids to his wrestlers. Wrestlers including Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Rick Rude, The Warlord, Tully Blanchard, Tom Zenk, and Nailz would testify. However, only Nailz would say McMahon had told him to use steroids. Still, his testimony was called into question after he initially stated he had no animosity towards his former employee but later said, “I hate Vince McMahon’s guts.” Some speculate Nailz testimony played a key part in getting McMahon acquitted.
Had McMahon been found guilty, he faced a lengthy prison sentence and a considerable fine. At one time, McMahon was so concerned he would actually be incarcerated that he would put the company in his wife Linda’s name, and Jerry Jarrett claims he was hired to run the promotion. When McMahon was free of legal issues, he would let Jarrett out of his contract at his request and even paid him the remainder of his three-year contract.
It will be interesting to see how accurate the series is, as the press release incorrectly lists the year McMahon was indicted, names the wrong U.S. Attorney’s office, and even states McMahon had “two-school aged children at home,” implying they were young kids when Shane was 24 and Stephanie 18 at the time. Additionally, with WWE so heavily involved, it’s doubtful the fact McMahon used steroids himself will be acknowledged or that the company stopped drug testing two years after the trial concluded.
