STAMFORD Conn. August 4 2006 –  Just who is Vincent Kennedy McMahon?  Is he the outrageous owner and Chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. who appears on WWE® Raw® and Smackdown®?  Or is he the philanthropist and family man who also focuses on what would be best for his company?  Perhaps they are one in the same?  The comprehensive DVD “McMahon ” being released August 22nd will offer the first ever in-depth look at both sides of Vince McMahon and how his vision has changed the scope of sports entertainment.

“McMahon” chronicles the time from McMahon’s entry into the family business to the current character Mr. McMahon and private citizen Vincent Kennedy McMahon.  As the DVD illustrates McMahon’s adjustment from on-air announcer/off-screen owner to the tyrannical on-screen Mr. McMahon viewers can make their own assessment of what is fact and what is fiction.  With never-before-seen candid commentary from WWE employees and talent as well as family friends and competitors “McMahon” attempts to make sense of what perceptions of Vince McMahon are true and what are merely extensions of the character he plays on television.

What compelled Vince McMahon to go against his own sensibilities to portray the sinister and cutthroat Mr. McMahon?  How did his family react to his request of them to become on-air characters as well as some of the more outrageous storylines McMahon has asked them to be a part of?  What do the WWE Superstars think about McMahon and what he expects of his employees?  What experiences have caused McMahon to re-evaluate how he views the world around him?  “McMahon” attempts to provide the answers to those questions and more in this 2-disc DVD set.

Also included in this release is a bonus disc with four hours of extra material featuring Mr. McMahon®’s brutal battles with Hulk Hogan™ Stone Cold Steve Austin™ Undertaker® Ric Flair® and his son Shane™.

Though others such as Donald Trump Mark Cuban and Richard Branson have also displayed the flair and presence of the original company owner-cum-public face what makes Vince McMahon successful in both personae is entirely unique.  “McMahon” provides a detailed picture of why Vince McMahon transcends all others.
