Netflix is all set to release a documentary on Vince McMahon on September 25th, 2024. The documentary, titled Mr. McMahon, will focus on his life and career, primarily his rise and fall and transformation of the WWE from a small business to global entertainment. It will also explore the allegations against him.
Mr. McMahon is produced by Chris Smith, who was previously associated with the docuseries Tiger King, which was released in 2020 and was a huge success. Bill Simons of the popular 30 for 30 series is the show's executive producer.
The documentary will include the allegations against Mr. McMahon and the events culminating in his resignation.
When will Mr. McMahon be released on Netflix?
Mr. McMahon will be released on Netflix on September 25th, 2024. It is a six-part series, and all the episodes will be available on that date. According to Netflix, the documentary is based on over 200 hours of interviews with McMahon before he resigned, accounts from his family members, other notable wrestlers, business associates, and journalists who were a part of the scrutiny against him.
What will Mr. McMahon be about?
Mr. McMahon aims to explore and reveal Vince McMahon's personality, more than the business mogul the public knows him for. According to a publication by Wrestling Headlines, Chris Smith was quoted saying,
“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,”
He added,
“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.”
What happened to WWE founder Vince McMahon?
In 1982, Vince McMahon purchased the World Wrestling Federation from his father. However, his ambitions significantly differed from his father's, as he wanted to take WWE to an international level. In 1985, he created WrestleMania, which proved to be a big success. Under his leadership, WWE became the biggest and most popular pro wrestling promotion.
Despite the great run for four decades, Vince suddenly stepped down from his position in 2022. An investigation revealed that he had paid millions of dollars to women to keep them silent about his se*ual relationships with them.
After six months, he returned as the Chairman of WWE. However, he had to step down in 2024 as Janel Grant, a WWE employee, filed a lawsuit against him and others in the company. She alleged that they had tried to traffic and se*ually assault her.
Since then, Vince has maintained a low profile.
