A new report by Matthew Belloni of Puck News said that Vince
McMahon tried to buy his documentary rights back from
Netflix according to two sources familiar with the
situation.

His move was rebuffed by Netflix and McMahon even tried to
engage the help of Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel at the time
after he became “nervous” about it, but Netflix kept the
rights and moved on with the documentary.

The six-part docuseries, which hits the streaming service on
September 25, will chronicle McMahon’s rise and fall, ending
with his sexual abuse allegations and departure from TKO.

The documentary, according to Belloni, was supposed to be
released in March of this year but after the lawsuit sparked
headlines around the world, filmmaker Chris Smith restarted
the project to capture the fallout from McMahon’s departure.

The documentary was proposed in 2019 and received the
blessing of McMahon himself and WWE for production. Several
WWE stars and members of the McMahon family, including
himself, are interviewed.
