As a long-time fan who’s witnessed the highs and lows of professional wrestling, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions upon hearing about Vince McMahon‘s ongoing saga with Netflix’s docuseries, “Mr. McMahon.
The controversial history of Vince McMahon in professional wrestling will soon be exposed in a Netflix documentary. Initially planned for release earlier this decade, the series aims to delve into McMahon’s journey through the business, highlighting his role in turning scripted sports into a global phenomenon. However, things took an unexpected turn when McMahon faced allegations of sexual misconduct in Spring 2022 and sex trafficking charges in January 2024. Despite rumors that Netflix might abandon the project, they ultimately decided to include McMahon’s recent controversies and examine the potential differences between the real-life Vince McMahon and his on-screen persona, Mr. McMahon.
Vince McMahon Tried to “Buy Back” Netflix Docuseries
Vince McMahon does not want Netflix’s Mr. McMahon to see the light of day.
According to Puck, McMahon attempted to repurchase the Mr. McMahon documentary series from Netflix following a preview of some early footage. However, Netflix declined this offer.
The report indicates that Chris Smith, director, was close to wrapping up a multi-episode documentary titled “Mr. McMahon” in 2022. When allegations about hush money involving sexual misconduct against McMahon surfaced that year, Smith decided to incorporate this aspect of McMahon’s ongoing narrative into the docuseries.
After Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against Vince McMahon in January, claiming that he had sexually trafficked and abused her for years while she was an employee at WWE, Smith made additional changes to the project. These revisions caused a delay in the original internal release date of March, as the final version of the series will now heavily focus on McMahon’s recent allegations.
Earlier this week, McMahon criticized the documentary series about him, posting a statement on his social media platforms. He described the final cut as using common editing techniques and out-of-context clips to reinforce a misleading storyline.
McMahon expressed that he has no regrets about being part of the Netflix documentary, as it allowed the producers to share an unbiased account of his life and the remarkable company he established, which was packed with excitement, drama, amusement, and a touch of controversy and valuable lessons learned. However, he feels disappointed because from what he’s seen so far, the documentary misses the mark and follows a predictable pattern by merging the “Mr. McMahon” persona with his true identity, Vince. The title and promotional materials already indicate this overlap.
There’s been a deliberate distortion or omission of facts in an attempt to confuse viewers. Producers manipulate footage out of context and use old soundbites, among other editing tricks, to shape the narrative deceitfully. They even present a lawsuit based on an old affair as proof that I am ‘Mr. McMahon.’ Remember, every story has two sides, so I encourage you to maintain an open mind.
Mr. McMahon premieres on Netflix on Wednesday, September 25th.
