Right now there’s a lot of talk about the upcoming “Mr. McMahon” docuseries that is set to release on Netflix this week. The documentary was first announced back in 2020, and the WWE landscape has changed drastically since then.
Back in 2022, Vince McMahon resigned from WWE due to the scandal involving former employee Janel Grant, but he later returned in 2023 to sell the company before resigning for good in early 2024.
Vince McMahon has been quiet on social media since he resigned, but he recently issued the following statement on the upcoming release of the “Mr. McMahon” documentary:
“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. 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.
A lot has been misrepresented or left out entirely in an effort to leave viewers intentionally confused. The producers use typical editing tricks with out of context footage and dated soundbites etc. to distort the viewers’ perception and support a deceptive narrative.
In an attempt to further their misleading account, the producers use a lawsuit based on an affair I ended as evidence that I am, in fact, “Mr. McMahon.”
I hope the viewer will keep an open mind and remember there are two sides to every story.”
Stay tuned for updates.
