Vince McMahon releases a statement on Netflix’s ‘Mr. McMahon’ show.

McMahon took to social media on Monday, September 23 to comment on Netflix’s upcoming series, ‘Mr. McMahon’. After stating that he doesn’t regret participating in the documentary, McMahon stated that he viewed an early partial cut of the series and believes that it takes a path of conflating the Mr. McMahon character with the person, Vince McMahon.

McMahon went on to say that a lot has been misrepresented in the series in an effort to leave viewers intentionally confused. McMahon then accused the producers of using editing tricks with out of context footage and dated sound bites.

McMahon also talked about how the producers used a lawsuit based on an affair as evidence that he is indeed the character of ‘Mr. McMahon’.

McMahon ended the statement by encouraging viewers to keep an open mind and remember that there is two sides to every story.

“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 doe 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.”
