Former WWE owner Vince McMahon issues public statement ahead of Netflix documentary premiere
Netflix recently announced that a documentary series about former WWE owner Vince McMahon will be coming to the streaming service on September 25th 2024 with six one-hour episodes. McMahon’s official Twitter/X issued the following statement ahead of the docuseries’ premiere…
“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 that there are two sides to every story.”
