WWE fans are waiting patiently for Netflix to drop their six-part Vince McMahon docuseries on September 25. That being said, WWE Superstars weren’t really talking about the docuseries this week.
PW Insider reports that there was not a lot of talk about the Vince McMahon documentary last night among talents that they heard from. This is different from fans, because many of them are throwing out their guesses today about what will be revealed tomorrow.
Vince McMahon tried to pull a Coyote vs Acme on the Netflix docuseries where he played the role of WBD. He offered to buy the series from the streaming giant and shelve it forever. That was rejected and fans will soon see everything that Vince McMahon doesn’t want us to see.
Mr. McMahon made a point to release a statement on the matter yesterday, one where he reminded fans that there are two sides to every story. He sat down for hours of interview footage with Netflix, and he may regret some of those decisions eventually.
“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 to distort the viewers’ perception and support a deceptive narrative,” he continued.
Odds are, Netflix will drop the Mr. McMahon series in its entirety at around 3 AM on September 25. That is midnight for the West Coast, which makes it safe to premiere on the streaming service.
Many WWE fans are scrambling to get a Netflix subscription today, and the company makes that very easy on their website. We will have to see what kind of reception the docuseries receives when it finally drops.
