Netflix has announced that its docu-series on WWE co-founder and former CEO, Vince McMahon, will premiere soon on the streaming service.
It was widely believed that the project, which has been in production since 2020, was scrapped following allegations of sexual assault and sex trafficking made against McMahon in June 2022, which eventually saw him resign from the company. But now Netflix has revealed that the series, titled Mr. McMahon, will debut on the platform on September 25th.
A press release read: “From his transformation of the WWE from a small, regional business into a global entertainment powerhouse to the explosive sexual misconduct allegations that led to his eventual resignation, this six-episode series offers a deep dive into McMahon’s life and his enduring franchise. Culled from over 200 hours of interviews with McMahon himself (prior to his resignation), his family members, business associates and some of the most iconic names in wrestling history, as well as the journalists who uncovered McMahon’s allegations – filmmaker Chris Smith (Tiger King) and executive producer Bill Simmons (30 for 30) present an unflinching, no-holds-barred look at one of the most enigmatic figures in sports entertainment”.
Director & Executive Producer Chris Smith, added: The goal behind Mr. McMahon was to pull back the curtain and reveal the true Vince McMahon, obscured beneath the persona he presented to the world. Over the four years of production, the story evolved in truly shocking ways, culminating in some extremely harrowing allegations. The final product is a revealing documentary that we believe offers a rich and nuanced portrait of the man and the complex legacy he left behind.”
