Vince McMahon isn’t holding back when it comes to his thoughts on the upcoming Netflix docuseries, “Mr. McMahon,” as he criticizes the project just days before its release. The six-part series is set to debut on September 25, and while McMahon hasn’t seen it yet, he is already anticipating a less than flattering portrayal.
In a statement released on Monday, McMahon expressed his sentiments about the documentary. He explained, “I don’t regret participating in this Netflix documentary. The producers had an opportunity to tell an objective story about my life and the incredible business I built, which were equally filled with excitement, drama, fun, and a fair amount of controversy and life lessons.”
Several wrestling stars, including Hulk Hogan, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, John Cena, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and Paul “Triple H” Levesque also took part in the series alongside McMahon. Despite his initial involvement, McMahon has concerns about the docuseries based on a partial early cut he viewed.
He criticized the documentary, stating, “Unfortunately, based on an early partial cut I’ve seen, this doc falls short and takes the predictable path of conflating the ‘Mr. McMahon’ character with my true self, Vince. The title and promos alone make that evident.”
McMahon raised issues with the documentary’s portrayal, mentioning that important details have been misrepresented or omitted to create a deceptive narrative. He also mentioned that the producers used a lawsuit involving an affair as evidence to support their version of events.
The docuseries will delve into McMahon’s life, rise to power in the wrestling world, and the controversies that ultimately led to his stepping away from WWE. McMahon concluded his statement by urging viewers to approach the series with an open mind and remember that there are always two sides to every story.
