Vince McMahon Critiques Netflix's 'Mr. McMahon' Docuseries Ahead of Release


Vince McMahon is openly criticizing Netflix's upcoming docuseries, "Mr. McMahon," just days before its release on September 25. The 79-year-old former WWE chairman acknowledges that he has not yet viewed the series, but he anticipates that it may portray him unfavorably.

In a statement, McMahon expressed regret over the missed opportunity for an objective portrayal of his life and career. He stated, “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.”

Despite his involvement, McMahon claims that an early cut of the documentary fails to accurately differentiate between his on-screen character and his real self. He criticized the producers for what he sees as a misleading representation, suggesting that they use editing techniques to confuse viewers and support a distorted narrative. He pointed out that the series includes a lawsuit linked to a past affair as part of this narrative.

The six-part series features contributions from several wrestling icons, including Hulk Hogan, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, John Cena, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and Paul “Triple H” Levesque, who is McMahon's son-in-law.

In closing, McMahon urged viewers to keep an open mind and remember that every story has two sides.
