Former WWE boss Vince McMahon makes a surprising confession in Netflix’s new docuseries, admitting he’s not revealing the full truth. Read his candid response to the series and its portrayal of his life.

BollywoodFever: Disgraced former WWE CEO Vince McMahon made a shocking admission just minutes into the newly released Netflix docuseries about his life.

The six-part limited series marks the first time McMahon has spoken in-depth about himself, but he confesses early on that he’s withholding the “real stories.”

In the first episode, McMahon states, “I wish I could tell you the real stories – holy s**t.” When asked to share one of these stories, he bluntly replied, “No,” adding that he doesn’t want anyone to “really know” him.

The producers noted that much of the docuseries was filmed before his now-paused lawsuit came to light, with production halted once news of the lawsuit broke.

Just a day before the series aired, McMahon, 79, took to X (formerly Twitter) to address his 2.4 million followers for the first time in a year.

He urged viewers to keep an open mind, claiming that much of the docuseries had been “misrepresented.”

In his statement, he expressed disappointment with how the series conflated his “Mr. McMahon” WWE persona with his real self, Vince.

McMahon wrote:
I don’t regret participating in this Netflix documentary. The producers had an opportunity to tell an objective story about my life... Unfortunately, this doc falls short and takes the predictable path of conflating the ‘Mr. McMahon’ character with my true self, Vince.”

He went on to criticize the production for using editing tricks and out-of-context footage to craft a “deceptive narrative,” even pointing to a lawsuit involving an affair as further evidence of the misrepresentation.
