The new documentary “Mr. McMahon” on Netflix explores the rise and fall of WWE’s Vince McMahon, including accusations of sex trafficking from a former employee, Janel Grant. Grant, who has yet to watch the series, is not featured in it as she wants to tell her story on her own terms. Her lawsuit against McMahon is on hold pending a federal investigation. McMahon has denied the allegations, stating that the documentary uses “typical editing tricks” to support a false narrative. The series also addresses other controversies within WWE, including allegations of sexual assault in 1986. McMahon’s attorney stated that they are investigating other potential claims of corruption within the company. The documentary features interviews with McMahon and discusses his career and the impactful wrestlers he brought into the spotlight, such as Hulk Hogan and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. McMahon addresses the allegations against him, claiming that they are false and part of a smear campaign. The documentary sheds light on the behind-the-scenes culture at WWE, alleging a lack of safety net for women and a toxic environment created by McMahon.
