By Mike Johnson on 2024-09-24 10:25:00

Puck founder Matthew Belloni reported last night that at some point Vince McMahon attempted to purchase the rights to his Netflix docuseries in order to scuttle its release, but Netflix "refused" to sell the doc.

After that attempt failed, McMahon later pushed Endeavor head Ari Emanuel to "chime in on his behalf, also voicing concern about the doc's treatment of McMahon's alter ego, Mr. McMahon."

It was noted thatg Netflix refused to let the project go and that there were revisions after McMahon stepped away from WWE the first time and again after he exited following the filing of the Janel Grant lawsuit.

The Netflix docuseries Mr. McMahon will premiere tomorrow.  McMahon decried the series in a statement yesterday released via social media.
