Eric Bischoff Questions WWE’s Choice Not to Delay Vince McMahon’s Netflix Documentary

Vince McMahon’s upcoming Netflix docuseries, Mr. McMahon, is set to explore his life in ways that many fans may not be familiar with, with its release scheduled for September 25. Eric Bischoff has now raised questions about WWE’s decision to not delay the documentary to be released while an ongoing lawsuit is still in play.

This six-part docuseries has taken years to develop, and its release comes amid controversy surrounding McMahon, including allegations of sexual misconduct and various other well-known issues that fans are familiar with.

While speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff raised questions about WWE’s decision not to delay the Netflix documentary about Vince McMahon. He speculated that WWE might have some influence over Netflix, and if that is the case, he wonders why they haven’t taken action to postpone the release.

Bischoff expressed doubt that Netflix would be bound by a contract to air the series, as he has never encountered such an obligation before. He pointed out that if there is no contractual requirement, it would be illogical for Netflix to release content that could negatively impact a brand in which they have recently invested a billion dollars. This situation has left him puzzled and searching for answers.

“That’s the part that is the most bizarre, and one would have to assume that WWE has a bit of a voice inside of Netflix. If you have a voice, why would you not do whatever you can to at least delay this? I doubt that Netflix was obligated to air the series as a part of their deal with a producer; I’ve never heard of anything like that, but it’s possible. If Netflix didn’t have a contractual obligation to do so, why would they release anything that could potentially have a negative effect on the brand that they just invested a billion dollars in? That’s the part that just… that’s a head-scratcher, man.”

We have also reported on WWE’s backstage reaction to the upcoming documentary, as quite a few people are legitimately upset over it and even Vince McMahon tried to purchase the documentary in order to kill it. Regardless, nothing delayed the documentary and now we’ll have to see if the docuseries will end up exposing Vince McMahon once and for all.
