The highly-anticipated “Mr. McMahon” documentary series on Vince McMahon’s life and career premieres on Netflix this Wednesday, September 25th. The documentary will address the sexual misconduct allegations made against McMahon by several women.
Vince issued the following statement on X regarding the 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 that there are two sides to every story.”

As we previously reported, Dave Meltzer was interviewed for the documentary and noted that the filmmakers were thorough in their approach:
“I can only say that the director who did (the documentary), covered with me every single thing that I would expect someone to cover. There were no stones unturned. I know that there are (pro-Vince) people in WWE who are not happy with it.”
He speculated that both Vince’s supporters and critics might be dissatisfied, saying:
“I am certain that the people who are really, really anti-Vince will not be happy. They’re actually gonna be in a tough situation because the people who are really anti-Vince are not going to be happy because I suspect there will be a lot of pro-Vince stuff there. A lot. The people that are pro-Vince will also likely not be happy.”
