Netflix's "Mr. McMahon" comes out on Wednesday, a six-part docuseries that chronicles the life of the most powerful man in wrestling history, WWE founder Vince McMahon.

What could be said or uncovered during the episodes has the wrestling world waiting for its release.
Here's what to know ahead of the release of "Mr. McMahon."
"Mr. McMahon" will be released on Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 3:01 a.m. ET.
The docuseries will be available on Netflix.
There are six episodes in "Mr. McMahon." Each episodes ranges from 50 minutes to 1 hour, 5 minutes.
In addition to interviews with Vince McMahon, wrestling icons that appear include Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, John Cena, Paul Heyman, WWE chief content officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque, current WWE champion Cody Rhodes, Stephanie McMahon and Shane McMahon.
McMahon said in a statement on Monday "Mr. McMahon" is a "misleading" and "deceptive" depiction of him.
"Unfortunately, based on an early partial cut I’ve seen, this doc falls short and takes the predictable path of conflating the 'Mr. McMahon' character with my true self, Vince. The title and promos alone make that evident," he said. "A lot has been misrepresented or left out entirely in an effort to leave viewers intentionally confused. The producers use typical editing tricks with out of context footage and dated soundbites etc. to distort the viewers’ perception and support a deceptive narrative.
"In an attempt to further their misleading account, the producers use a lawsuit based on an affair I ended as evidence that I am, in fact, 'Mr. McMahon.' I hope the viewer will keep an open mind and remember that there are two sides to every story," McMahon added.
