Netflix has pulled the plug on a lot of things lately. But, the streaming giant is still set to host a documentary on one of the most controversial sports figures in history.
The Ringer's Bill Simmons revealed on his podcast that the Netflix docuseries on the life of Vince McMahon is still in production, saying:
Think about that, he's had this thing - I'm working on this massive docuseries right now about him, which is, obviously, that keeps evolving - this guy has been doing this since 1976. This is his. This was a local promotion that he blew up into a whole thing, and I think he honestly kind of lost it, that it was doing well without him.
WWE and Netflix have been working on the docuseries for the better part of the past three years. The now-sole CEO of the WWE, Nick Khan, described the series as one of the most expensive Netflix series. It was originally meant to come out last year and the subsequent reports claim it was shelved, presumably after Vince McMahon stepped down.
