Controversial former WWE CEO Vince McMahon's documentary given a release date

Former CEO Vince McMahon will appear in a two-hour documentary focussing on him in December.

McMahon stepped down from his position and retired from WWE in July following alleged misconduct and an affair with a former WWE employee. According to the Wall Street Journal report, the former WWE boss agreed to pay a former employee a whopping $3 million in hush money.

Today, Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Newsletter Observer reported that McMahon's two-hour documentary, "The Nine Lives of Vince McMahon," will air on the VICE network on December 13 at 9 pm ET. The documentary was initially set for a premiere on October 18th, but they moved the release date because of WWE's NXT and AEW's Dynamite going head-to-head the same day.

.@VICETV’s documentary covering the career of @VinceMcMahon titled “The Nine Lives of Vince McMahon” will premiere Tuesday, December 13th at 9pm ET.

The film is being presented by @DarkSideOfRing and will run head to head with @WWENXT on @USA_Network.
