The show's director and executive producer, Chris Smith, stated on Netflix.com that the project was made to "pull back the curtain and reveal the true Vince McMahon, obscured beneath the persona he presented to the world."
The six-episode documentary series is set to drop on Netflix on September 25. It will be interesting to see if the documentary would have any impact on the wrestling world.
