During Netflix's “Mr. McMahon” docuseries, Vince McMahon discussed his challenging upbringing and his efforts to suppress the trauma stemming from experiencing abuse.

Previously, McMahon claimed that he endured abuse from his stepfather and was subjected to sexual abuse by a stepbrother. He also suggested similar experiences involving his mother.

McMahon said, "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."

The "Mr. McMahon" docuseries, comprising six one-hour episodes, delve into the various sexual misconduct allegations made against McMahon by several women over the years.
