The highly anticipated Netflix series centered around the life of wrestling legend Vince McMahon is no stranger to the spotlight. With fans eagerly awaiting its release, recent revelations from Dave Meltzer, a prominent wrestling journalist, suggest that the series has undergone a significant transformation since its inception.

What began as a documentary showcasing McMahon’s ownership of the company has evolved into a narrative marked by twists, turns, and unexpected changes.

“When it started and how it ended are completely different. When it started he was the owner of the company. Now he’s not the owner of the company, and there are all the reasons he’s not the owner of the company. There are the payoffs. All that happened, and they were years into this thing, into this documentary before all that stuff happened, and they kind of had to re-do everything or had to refocus on all types of new stuff,” Meltzer disclosed on Wrestling Observer Radio.

This revelation offers a glimpse into the tumultuous journey that the production team embarked upon, as they navigated the shifting landscape of Vince McMahon’s life and career.

The initial concept of the series revolved around Vince McMahon as the owner of the wrestling empire, a role he had held for decades. However, the series took an unexpected turn when McMahon relinquished his position as the company’s owner, leaving fans and producers alike in a state of shock. As Meltzer suggests, “When it started and how it ended are completely different,” illustrating the dramatic shift that occurred mid-production.

The reasons behind McMahon’s departure from ownership added another layer of complexity to the series. From business decisions to behind-the-scenes negotiations, the narrative had to adapt to accommodate these unexpected developments. The payoffs, both in terms of the wrestling industry and McMahon’s personal life, became integral elements of the story, requiring a comprehensive reevaluation of the series.

“All that happened, and they were years into this thing, into this documentary before all that stuff happened,” Meltzer emphasized.

This statement underscores the challenges faced by the production team, who found themselves at a crossroads with an incomplete narrative.

The Netflix series on Vince McMahon has undergone a remarkable transformation, driven by the unexpected twists and turns in the wrestling mogul’s life. Wrestling fans can now look forward to a documentary that not only delves into the past but also adapts to the present.

As of this writing there is no official release for the project but it’s expected to release soon.
