Vince McMahon Just Released A Statement About The Netflix Documentary, And He Doesn't Seem Happy: ‘A Lot Has Been Misrepresented’

As a long-time wrestling fan and someone who has spent countless hours watching WWE programming over the years, I can’t help but feel a bit of intrigue about the upcoming Netflix docuseries “Mr. McMahon.” Vince McMahon himself seems to have mixed feelings about it, and that piques my curiosity even more.


As a diehard fan, I’m thrilled to share that just a few days before “Mr. McMahon” graces Netflix’s 2024 lineup, the man himself has broken his silence! Amidst an ongoing federal probe and legal tussle with ex-WWE employee Janel Grant, Vince McMahon himself has addressed the upcoming six-part docuseries, promising an exciting experience for wrestling enthusiasts who hold a Netflix subscription.

In simpler terms, Vince McMahon expressed his disappointment via X about the forthcoming Netflix project, stating that it failed to adequately cover the journey of WWE’s co-founder or include interviews with key figures such as former chairmen and other influential wrestling industry players.

I’m glad I took part in that Netflix documentary. It offered a chance for the creators to share an unbiased account of my life and the remarkable company I established, complete with thrill, turmoil, amusement, and a good dose of debate and life experiences. However, from what I’ve seen so far, it seems to miss the mark and follows a familiar pattern by merging the “Mr. McMahon” persona with my real identity, Vince. The title and previews make this clear.

Vince McMahon appears to be upset because he believes the documentary mixes up the fictional “Mr. McMahon” character he played in WWE with his real-life personality. This might seem puzzling to wrestling fans, given that numerous wrestlers have shared outlandish tales about McMahon, which sometimes resemble his on-screen persona. However, it’s worth noting that some of these stories were likely told when McMahon was still in a powerful position at the company, raising the possibility they were intended to boost the character.

Previously held as chairman, an individual faced fresh controversy when the WWE initiated investigations into unreported hush money payments from Vince McMahon. Subsequently, he leveled additional criticisms against Mr. McMahon. He accused him of manipulative video editing in the show and hinted at his ongoing legal battle with Janel Grant.

There’s a deliberate manipulation of facts in the presentation, with key details omitted or distorted through selective editing of footage and outdated soundbites to intentionally confuse viewers and reinforce a false narrative. To bolster their deceptive account, the producers even cite a lawsuit stemming from an old affair as ‘proof’ that I am indeed ‘Mr. McMahon.’ Remember, there are always two sides to every story; try to stay objective.

Vince McMahon’s last statement pertains to a legal dispute he’s involved in, accusing the ex-CEO of participating in sex trafficking and other questionable activities during Janel Grant’s time at the WWE. Since then, McMahon has stepped away from any WWE responsibilities, leaving the company largely managed by former wrestler and his son-in-law Paul “Triple H” Levesque.

Notable wrestlers such as John Cena and Randy Orton have addressed the accusations against McMahon, expressing unease at seeing someone they hold dear implicated in heinous actions. Similarly, Mick Foley has stated that they will reserve judgment until the legal process concludes. With more prominent wrestlers set to voice their opinions on McMahon, fans of wrestling can anticipate further insights from these superstars, as they feature in the trailer for “Mr. McMahon.

  • Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
  • Hulk Hogan
  • “Stone Cold” Steve Austin
  • John Cena
  • Jimmy Hart
  • Bret “The Hitman” Hart
  • Paul “Triple H” Levesque

Viewers must determine their own opinions on the portrayal of Mr. McMahon in the documentary, questioning whether it is an accurate or biased representation. It’s worth considering how this depiction might influence Netflix and WWE’s partnership, given that Monday Night Raw will start streaming on Netflix in 2025.

On Wednesday, September 25th, Mr. McMahon makes his debut on Netflix! Fans of wrestling shouldn’t miss it. Afterwards, take a look at some fantastic wrestling documentaries that can be found on Peacock.
