Back in October, the WWE announced Vince McMahon would be getting the documentary treatment, a multi-part series that will arrive on Netflix. With famous pro wrestling fan Bill Simmons as executive producer, and Chris Smith (director of Netflix’s documentary on Fyre Fest), the documentary already has some heavy names involved.
Triple H was a guest on Roz & Mocha from 92.5 in the Toronto area, Triple H revealed Vince McMahon didn’t exactly jump into the idea enthusiastically.
“Prior to now, Vince was always hesitant to do it. With Vince, he really doesn’t see himself — while Mr. McMahon is one of the most epic characters ever, he doesn’t see himself as part of the programming. When you ask him about those things, he goes, ‘Nobody is interested in me. They want to know about the stars and performers.’ The truth is, they do (want to know about Vince). The most difficult thing with Vince’s life is making it succinct. Every chapter of his life is a whole other unbelievable story. His story is amazing, all the things he’s been through, the trials and tribulations of getting to where he is. No one gives him the credit, they just see this billion-dollar global empire he’s created and see him as the evil tyrant businessman.”
No release date has been set for the documentary, but considering Simmons was one of the people behind the HBO Andre the Giant documentary, there’s a lot of quality that should be expected with it.
