The ‘Mr. McMahon’ docuseries has landed on Netflix and is
now available to stream.
The long-awaited series, split into six different episodes,
is directed by Bill Simmons and executive produced by Chris
Smith. It will chronicle the rise and fall of the former WWE
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“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,” producer Chris Smith
said. “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.”
The full synopsis describing the series reads as follows,
“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 official poster of the series has the words “mastermind”
and “madman” with Vince McMahon pulling strings on…Vince
McMahon.
