So much for that. There are a lot of powerful and influential people in the wrestling world and then there is Vince McMahon. No one in the history of wrestling has come close to his level of authority and it is likely no one will ever get close again. That is the kind of status that can change the industry and now something McMahon has been accused of doing is changing something in another company.
According to Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture, the McMahon Netflix documentary series has been pulled and will not be airing. The documentary was in post production with interviews filmed several months ago and millions of dollars spent. This comes after new allegations of hush payments made by McMahon to various female WWE employees over affairs with McMahon over the years.
Sources tell me that the Vince McMahon Netflix documentary has been pulled & is off the programming spreadsheet at Netflix. A source at Netflix confirmed it no longer being listed on their spreadsheet, another source at Netflix said “that shit’s out of here.” (1/2)

Another source indicated that the project was already “deep” in post-production & that several talent interviews had been done months ago & that millions were spent. I spoke to one of the producers on the project, however they declined to confirm nor deny this story to me. (2/2)

Opinion: This is hardly a surprise as the news about McMahon wasn’t so much shocking as much as it was people waiting for the other shoe to fall. That was the case this week as we found out a lot more details. Losing a documentary is a big deal, but at the same time, I’m not sure what is going to happen when it comes to some far more important material. McMahon very well could be in trouble, and that could be a very big deal for the industry as a whole.
What does this mean for McMahon? Where do you see this going? Let us know in the comments below.
