“People have wondered who I really am,” McMahon says in the trailer’s opening moments. “Portrayal of me is I’m a bad guy. But no one really knows me.”
Netflix’s six-part docuseries Mr. McMahon will conduct a deep dive into the controversial WWE personality and businessman.
The series chronicles how McMahon bought the regional wrestling company from his father and transformed it into a billion-dollar enterprise.
The series was developed with the support of McMahon, who agreed to be interviewed before his legal troubles. However, McMahon’s sexual assault allegations and hush-money settlements led to McMahon’s resignation.
The series will cover McMahon’s downfall and feature interviews with the journalists who unearthed the allegations.
