McMahon posted his statement on social media
Vince McMahon posted an official statement just before the release of the docuseries “Mr. McMahon,” accusing the Netflix producers of trying to portray him in a bad light. The former WWE Chairman stated he has no regrets about participating in the show but instead blames the producers for making his character look the same, saying the title and promos make it clear.
“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,” wrote Vince.
The former chairman criticized the producers of docuseries
Vince further stated that a lot has been misrepresented and omitted entirely to deliberately confuse viewers. The former chairman said that the producers use conspicuous editing tricks with out-of-context footage and dated soundbites, etc to distort viewer perception and support a misleading narrative. He went on to say, “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”.”
