Eric Bischoff addressed a comment Vince McMahon made in the docu-series about not respecting those who make excuses for how they grew up. He believes that the abuse McMahon suffered may have caused psychological damage that he carried with him for years.

I'm sure that maybe in Vince's mind [it is] a badge of honor for him or something that he's proud of that he was able to overcome that, and rightfully so. But I wonder if he understands the damage — the kind of psychological damage that children, particularly at such young ages, 6, 8, 10, 12, at any age, but that age is such an important age. To go through, even if he embellished half of it, there's still a lot of hot mustard on that sandwich. What he went through — again, even if half of it is true — you can understand why the adult may be carrying around some baggage that he doesn't quite understand," said Bischoff.

McMahon previously claimed that he would have killed his stepfather, had he not died, due to the abuse he suffered from him.
