In the Netflix docuseries entitled “Mr. McMahon”, Vince McMahon openly speaks about the trials of his difficult childhood and his dedication to overcoming the traumatic repercussions after enduring abuse.
McMahon has previously disclosed that his stepfather was abusive, he was a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of a stepbrother, and he hinted at similar incidents involving his mother as well.
Expressing his outlook on his past, McMahon stated, “I’m not big at looking backward at all. I don’t know whether I’m afraid to look back, like, ‘What’s back there?’ My childhood was what it was. It was difficult. I mean, there’s fighting, there’s infighting, there’s incest, and you don’t like it, but I felt that as a kid, when you’re getting the crap beat out of you, once he stops, if you’re still breathing, if you’re still living, you win. I know from a psychological standpoint, when you’re abused as a kid, the tendency is for you to abuse. I think sometimes that’s just a cop out. I’ve never subscribed to that. Anything rotten like that, anything bad that happens to you, get rid of it. Will it come forward on occasion? Sure. Will it hurt on occasion? Sure. But throw it the f*ck back there, and go forward.”
Moreover, “Mr. McMahon”, a six-part docuseries running for an hour each episode, investigates the several accusations of sexual misconduct leveled against McMahon by multiple women over his lifetime.
