Nitter

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.

— Vince McMahon

    “You misunderstand. Hulk Hogan has the huge cock, not Terry Bollea ‘Mr. McMahon’ is the asshole here, not good ol’ ‘Vinnie Mac!’”

      What a weird thing that Hogan was required to legally clairify.

      It would be like if Jim Henson were on trial, and had to clairify that Miss Piggy has a femdom fetish, not Jim Hendon!

      And the rest of the world looks on bewildered…

    I wish he’d take follow up questions, such as, did you or did you not shit on a persons head without their consent?

    God as much as I think Jim Hellwig is a massive douche, I wish he were alive to comment.

    I’m sure Bret Hart has made 200 comments already.
