It’s been years since the Vince McMahon documentary on Netflix was originally announced, and today it was officially confirmed that the series titled “Mr. McMahon” will arrive on Netflix on September 25th.
The series will consist of six one hour episodes and will cover the rise and fall of Vince McMahon including everything from Vince turning WWE into a global powerhouse, to the allegations that led to his resignation from the company.
The synopsis for “Mr. McMahon” notes that the documentary 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.”
While speaking about the series director and executive producer Chris Smith said, “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.”
