Love him. Hate him. Everyone admits that billionaire American businessman and co-founder of WWE Vince McMahon transformed the wrestling entertainment world into the juggernaut we know today. And now Netflix wants to tell his life story in the documentary series Mr. McMahon.
He made billions for the WWE and created countless stars from its wrestlers. Alas, decades of his career were mired in scandals, and finally, he had to step down.
Here is the official synopsis:
Mr. McMahon chronicles the rise and fall of Vince McMahon, a controversial businessman and co-founder of WWE. 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.

“The goal behind Mr. MaMahon 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,” said director and executive producer Chris Smith. “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.
The six-episode documentary series Mr. McMahon streams on Netflix starting Wednesday, September 25.
