Whichever era actually bought in wellness policies is the point when wrestling stopped being fascinating enough for a documentary anyway. Cornette scream about Tony Khan all he wants, the problem with wrestling now is that the wrestlers aren't all dangerous maniacs with drug addictions.

That's exactly what a wrestler should be. Not some lithe, athletic cruiserweight sitting around all day playing video games, being mentally and physically healthy. Piper didn't have to reach very far for that role.

Was only able to watch a few episodes last night, but I was... underwhelmed. It feels less like an expose about Mr. McMahon and more a "history of the WWE for beginners" type of documentary where they explain the territory system and why Hulk Hogan was popular. It's clear this thing was mostly edited before the allegations came out, because the tone just feels overwhelmingly positive towards Vince, oh sure he's not perfect, but sometimes you need an imperfect genius to make wrestling what it is! Then they shoehorn in a "in 2023 allegations surfaced blah blah blah" card to make it seem like it isn't a giant fluff piece.

Really, the only things I didn't know are wrestlers admitting to shit they've forever denied, specifically Hogan ratting out Jesse and the union and HBK & HHH finally admitting they planned Montreal with Vince. Everything else has been covered more in-depth and Tony Atlas seems to be the only talking head who doesn't give a fuck. Bret Hart in particular is so whiny and self-righteous about everything, my favorite soundbite so far is Vince reminding him he didn't win the championship like he's a boxer or UFC fighter, he was given the championship so get off your high horse that Vince wants you to lose the title before you throw it in the trash on Nitro.

It also feels incomplete. Macho Man barely gets mentioned, Ric Flair barely gets mentioned, Kevin Nash doesn't get an interview even though the WCW/NWO stuff. I can already guess the ruthless aggression era is gonna be all Cena, and the modern era is gonna be all Cody because those are the guys they got for the documentary.

I think it was confirmed that Jim Cornette gave them the idea for the screw job and Vince and his cronies plotted it.

There's a great interview where Piper does that exact same thousand yard stare when hes talking about Alfred Hayes chasing him around the locker room with his dick out.

I’ve seen that. At one point Hayes put his dick in Roddy’s hand when Roddy was talking to Vince.

My friends and I would say, “I looked down and it was Alfred Hayes’ dick”! for years.

Wrestling really is a bastion of closet homosexuals.

And yet one of my favorite stories still is about Dusty Rhodes telling the boys "Next yeeah, behbeh, we'll be makin' majuh moshyun pickchas!"

That time next year, Crockett sold his whole empire to Ted Turner.

Not gay, obviously, but I always liked The Dream.

Bret was an incredible wrestler but he’s exactly like every Canadian I’ve ever worked with. He takes himself way too seriously and is still so fucking angry about how things turned out for him 30 years ago. He truly believes he did nothing wrong even though his argument boiled down to “I don’t like my coworker so I’m not going to work with him.”

Vince did the right thing. Bret was being a gigantic pain in the ass. He couldn’t just let Bret take his belt to the other company as they were really heating up and the WWF was bleeding cash just because Bret hated Shawn. Shawn was a nuclear asshole but that’s still not much of an excuse.

Of course an annoying fucking Canadian can’t fucking understand why a business owner would choose to save his failing company over appeasing the ego of a wrestler who was leaving anyway.

And despite being 100% correct, Vince let Bret spit on him and punch him right in the face. I don’t get what Bret is so angry about.

It's literally nothing. I watched it because everyone is jerking themselves off over all the wild shit he did, and it's just the shiny new version of the same "History of the WWE" bullshit they've put out every year for 20 something years. Real waste of time.

Yeah, I can't listen to his dumb creation story, or the steroid trial, or the Mr. McMahon stuff yet again, it's all been beaten to death repeatedly. All WWE content, unless it's truly unauthorized, is almost always all fluff.
