As anticipation builds for the premiere of the “Mr. McMahon” docuseries on Netflix, set to debut on September 25, a cloud of controversy surrounds the project’s in-depth exploration of Vince McMahon’s storied career. With WWE’s media partnership with Netflix raising questions about the extent of the series’ revelations, new details have emerged about the documentary’s content.

Post Wrestling has uncovered that the docuseries will delve into the infamous steroid and ring boy scandals that have long been associated with WWE. Among the new allegations set to be highlighted is a troubling claim about the late Pat Patterson, a prominent figure in the wrestling world.

The series features an interview with New York Post reporter Phil Mushnick, who was instrumental in covering these scandals. Additionally, it includes archival footage of Tom Cole, the former ring boy who accused the company of misconduct, and Rita Chatterton, a former referee who alleged that Vince McMahon raped her in 1986. Notably, the series will also show clips from the notorious Phil Donahue Show episode that addressed sexual harassment within the WWF.

In a striking revelation, Tony Atlas provides a new interview in which he alleges that he was groped by Pat Patterson in the locker room. Atlas’s comments are particularly jarring as he chuckles and suggests that McMahon would not have been concerned about such issues at the time.
