Vince McMahon has come out of X/Twitter hiding, offering up his take on the about-to-be-released six-part documentary on his life and times, Mr. McMahon.
In a tweet released just before 5 p.m. ET on Monday, September 24, 2024 — two days before the show drops — he posted:
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.
McMahon had not posted to X since April 2023, when Endeavor acquired WWE.
