Alundra ‘Madusa’ Blayze may have been a part of WWE’s history, but don’t expect her in Netflix’s six-part docuseries on Vince McMahon.
On a recent edition of the “Paving the Way” podcast, Blayze shared that Netflix was eager for her to be involved. She said,
“They contacted me, they wanted me in this thing so bad. They contacted me, I don’t know, about a year ago, two years ago maybe. They were already starting this, and they were like, ‘It’ll be cool. Vince is involved. He’s doing it.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s cool.’ I’m like, ‘No.’
“I almost [did it.] I’m like, okay, if Vince is doing it…but something in my gut, I’m telling you, we all have that natural instinct, and you’ve got to follow your gut because that was my money-maker in this business. I’m like, ‘Nope,’ and I’m so glad I had nothing to do with it. No. I’ll never forget, I have the conversations, they’re in emails, I have those conversations.”
Blayze appeared for WWE from 1993 to 1995 and finished her time with the promotion while in possession of the WWF Women’s Championship.
Blayze, as Madusa, appeared in WCW that same year and infamously threw the WWF Women’s Championship in a trash can.
While Blayze was reportedly pressured into the spot by Eric Bischoff, WWE blamed her and blacklisted her until her Hall of Fame induction in 2015.
Netflix’s Mr. McMahon docuseries was first announced in 2020. Interviews with McMahon were recorded before his 2022 resignation over alleged sexual misconduct.
