Season 1
Mastermind. Madman.
Synopsis
Mr. McMahon (2024), Season 1 is a six-part documentary you can watch online on iFILM, and the whole season orbits one man — Vince McMahon, the promoter who turned a family wrestling outfit into WWE.
The episodes move chronologically through his rise. A young Vince takes over his father's regional company and drags it onto national television, then pays for the fame: tabloid scrutiny, performers' scandals, a hungry rival, and the rating-war Mondays that defined an era. What the season really chases is the blur between the scripted product and the real person behind it — talent jumping ship, an infamous in-ring double-cross, and finally a point where kayfabe and McMahon's own life stop being separate things. He sits for the camera himself, alongside The Rock, John Cena, Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, his own family, and the reporters who covered him.
Made for Netflix, it doesn't flatter its subject. By the last episode the mood turns from empire-building to grim allegations, the ones that pushed him out of wrestling for good. You don't have to follow WWE to get pulled in — it's a study of power and reputation. Stream Mr. McMahon Season 1 online on iFILM.
