Described as “an unflinching, no-holds-barred look at one of the most enigmatic figures in sports entertainment,” the documentary follows McMahon 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.

According to Netflix, the documentary is 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 Smith and executive producer Bill Simmons ( 30 for 30 ).

McMahon resigned abruptly from WWE shortly after former WWE staffer Janel Grant filed a detailed and shocking sexual assault lawsuit, on January 25, 2024, against McMahon. “Neither Janel nor her representatives were interviewed for this project,” a spokesperson for Grant said in a statement to Deadline.

Simmons and Zara Duffy also serve as executive producers. Mr. McMahon is produced by Library Films in association with Ringer Films.

“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,” said Smith. “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.”
