Before WWE signed over the broadcasting rights for Raw to Netflix, the streamer was working on an authorized biographical documentary about the former owner of the company, Vince McMahon. However, following the sexual misconduct accusations leveled at McMahon, he resigned from the company's current owner, TKO, earlier this year. Now, Netflix has formally announced Mr. McMahon, a six-part miniseries that will fully chronicle his rise and fall in the wrestling business.
Prior to McMahon taking over the WWE--which was then known as the World Wrestling Federation or WWF--McMahon's father, Vince McMahon Sr. ran the company as a regional wrestling territory. Once the younger McMahon assumed control, he ignored the previous agreements between the wrestling territories and swooped up the major stars like Hulk Hogan before taking WWF to a higher level that surpassed its competition and ushered in a new era of sports entertainment.
