Early Reviews of ‘Mr. McMahon’ Documentary as Vince McMahon Attempts to Buy It Back
According to Puck News, after seeing early footage of the Mr. McMahon documentary, Vince McMahon attempted to buy the project back from Netflix. However, Netflix is refusing to let the project go, as all episodes are set to air tomorrow, September 25th.
Endeavor's Ari Emanuel also voiced his concern about the docuseries to the streaming service where he reportedly expressed concerns about portrayal of McMahon's alter ego
Reviews of the project are already starting to come out:
- Men’s Journal: “The Mr. McMahon documentary failed to show us ‘the true Vince McMahon’ as promised, but that's mostly because the man himself isn't interested in showing it, despite all his whining that people don't really know him.”
- Paste Magazine: “Mr. McMahon, Netflix's new documentary series about Vince McMahon, who owned and oversaw WWE for over 40 years, fails to fully contend with the man's sordid legacy.”
- Slash Film: “Vince McMahon’s Netflix docuseries Mr. McMahon is loaded with self-incriminating statements straight from the horse's mouth.”
- The Daily Beast: “Mr. McMahon is a comprehensive portrait of the immensely successful—and now disgraced—WWE mogul, whose vision was matched by his alleged misconduct."
Vince McMahon made a statement yesterday on X (formerly Twitter), where he disavowed the documentary, claiming he has no regrets but feels misrepresented in the final product. The docuseries Mr. McMahon is set to air all episodes tomorrow on Netflix.
