Vince McMahon Reflects on WWF Name Change

In the upcoming Netflix docuseries 'Mr. McMahon,' Vince McMahon reflects on the significant name change of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) following a 2000 lawsuit from the World Wildlife Fund over the use of the 'WWF' initials. McMahon acknowledged that the lawsuit was unwinnable, stating, 'They had, in fact, used the initials WWF long before we did,' and described the rebranding as not 'necessarily a good thing.' He emphasized the importance of moving on from failures, encouraging a focus on positivity rather than dwelling on past setbacks. The series will also address various controversies surrounding his career, including a recent sexual assault and sex trafficking lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant. Despite the challenges, McMahon's narrative seeks to highlight resilience in the face of legal and personal adversities. The documentary is set to premiere on September 25, 2024.
