WWE Hall Of Famer Reveals Why They Turned Down 'Mr. McMahon' Netflix Docuseries Interview

The Netflix docuseries on Vince McMahon's rise and fall, Mr. McMahon, is set to be released on September 25. The likes of The Rock, Steve Austin, Triple H, Eric Bischoff, and John Cena were interviewed for the series, as well as Vince McMahon himself while he was still with WWE. 

One WWE Hall of Famer who will be absent from the docuseries, though, is Rob Van Dam and the former WWE Champion revealed on his 1 of a Kind podcast why he turned down appearing on the Netflix show. 

"I will check it out... I hope that it's like most documentaries where you learn a lot that you didn't know, or can at least feel like you do, watching it. And [I'm] looking forward to it. They did contact me a couple of times actually about participating in the interviews. And it wasn't something that I opted to do. It wasn't a choice that would be conducive to my position in the business, the industry. So I passed, and I told them, 'I look forward to seeing it.' And I do, and I hope that they cover a lot of different grounds instead of just jumping to the main pillars of whatever story that you used to tell," Van Dam said. 

Further details have been revealed about the docuseries and the later episodes of the six-part series will cover the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon, WWE, and John Laurinaitis which led to McMahon's resignation as TKO Executive Chairman. Grant will not appear in those episodes, however, as she turned down being interviewed for the series.
