“Mr. McMahon chronicles the rise and fall of Vince McMahon, controversial businessman and co-founder of WWE,” reads the official synopsis. “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.”
McMahon announced his first retirement from WWE in July 2022, but returned to the company when it merged with UFC the following year.
