Bill Simmons On Vince McMahon Docuseries

Executive producer Bill Simmons recently discussed his experience working on the docuseries while speaking on the Bill Simmons Podcast.

“It was certainly the strangest documentary process I’ve ever been involved with,” Bill Simmons said. “Even when he was eager, he wasn’t there on time or on the days that he was supposed to be there. He always had people with him. There was always people, kind of, lingering in the background making sure nothing weird happened.”

Producer David Shoemaker also commented and recalled how Vince McMahon always had a team with him.

“Yeah, and reminding him of things in his past. There was always a team,” Shoemaker said. “I don’t think Vince – it sounds so weird to say – I’m not sure Vince knew what it meant to do the documentary and I’m not sure that he knew what story he wanted to tell. I don’t even know if he knows who he is enough to tell that story.” [H/T: F4WOnline]
