The wrestling world is buzzing with excitement as Netflix prepares to drop a highly anticipated documentary series about former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, titled Mr. McMahon. The six-part series, which has been in the works for years, is slated to premiere on September 25. Despite concerns over its release following McMahon’s sexual trafficking lawsuit, the project moved ahead, and fans are now just weeks away from diving into the documentary.
One of the key questions surrounding the series has been whether Vince McMahon had any control over the final version of the documentary. During a Q&A session on PWInsider, Mike Johnson addressed this, confirming that McMahon had no influence on the final cut.
“We are told he did not have any say over the final edit,” Johnson stated.
Additionally, reports indicate that while the filmmakers behind the documentary reached out to individuals such as Janel Grant for interviews, their requests were ultimately declined. Even WWE star Cody Rhodes has weighed in, expressing skepticism over what he views as potential misinformation regarding WWE’s involvement in the project.
As the premiere date approaches, excitement—and curiosity—surround the release of Mr. McMahon. Fans and critics alike are eager to see whether the series will present a balanced portrayal of McMahon.
Known as a pivotal figure in wrestling history but also entangled in significant controversy, McMahon’s complex legacy is sure to be a major focus of the documentary. However, many are left wondering if Netflix will deliver an unbiased depiction or if the series will gloss over some of the more controversial aspects of his life.
