Vince isn't the only person who deserves a glance.

News broke recently about the plan Netflix have to create a multiple-part documentary about the life and career of wrestling's best-known billionaire. It has to be said that this is not only incredibly exciting for fans of WWE, but for people who love Netflix documentaries as well.

Many viewers who've never watched wrestling have no idea about the depths of drama and ridiculousness that can be found in the business, thus learning about the man who made his company a monopoly could be fascinating to them.

Those who know of the wild life of Vince McMahon will understand that this documentary is going to be rather impressive. But to look towards the future brings into question how far this relationship between WWE and Netflix could go. Perhaps there is more potential here for further documentaries talking about serious issues and figures within the world of wrestling?

If that were to happen, then the following names are certainly people who are worthy of gaining such material. They all have stories either tied to their careers or personal lives that deserve to be talked about, and we can only hope that after Vince's is done, we get to see more.

10. The Ultimate Warrior

The Ultimate Warrior - formerly known as James Brian Hellwig - was an utterly fascinating presence in the world of wrestling, and we are all thankful that he got to step back into the company and be inducted into the Hall of Fame before his death. A further way that the story of the Ultimate Warrior could continue has to be in the form of a Netflix documentary that discusses the tumultuous relationship that he had with the company, his career and the man himself.

There is a darker side to The Ultimate Warrior that isn't discussed in any media created by the company. WWE tend to present him in a cherished way - such as the immortalising Warrior Award given to those who display "unwavering strength and perseverance" in his honour. Still, the man was not only staunchly arrogant and problematic to work with, but shared some incredibly unfavourable views such as blatant homophobia and frequent bigotry.

A series based on the life and career of this man could expose and discuss the less favourable aspects of his views without the WWE bias, and even demonise them for continuing to hold the man in such high esteem.

Netflix documentaries seem to often revolve around the aspects you didn't know of a person, so to examine the heights of his career, but also address an uncompromising look at the man would be utterly compelling.
