Vince McMahon has no say in final cut of upcoming Netflix documentary

The Ringer founder Bill Simmons remains very bullish on the upcoming Vince McMahon documentary on Netflix of which both men are executive producers.

Speaking at the Bloomberg Screentime event several days ago, Simmons was asked about the project where he revealed that McMahon will get to look at clips but will not be able to give notes before the final cut.

Simmons also tipped his hand that the project that was once set to be a docuseries may be a one-off documentary instead.

“It was a lot of time and it was one where Netflix still has final cut of it. It was a little more old-school in the 30 for 30 model. I think it has a chance to be really special,” he said.

30 for 30 is the popular ESPN film series Simmons co-created while with the network.

Even with that accomplishment, among others like the well-received HBO documentary on Andre The Giant he was directly involved in, Simmons feels the McMahon project that has been worked on for three years could be the best one of them all.

“It has a chance to be really great. I really think it has the chance to be the best one I’ve been involved with,” Simmons said. “I’ll be interested to see what people think about that one.”

Netflix has not announced a release date for the documentary.
