Even though I’ve seen and heard these stories 1000 times it was nice to get decent production value behind it, but them saying Shawn coming out in biker shorts was the start of the attitude era was jokes. Austin 316 started that shyt.
I always believed it was Goldust that started the Attitude Area. That was the first non-family friendly gimmick they had

This shyt was terrible....you'd learn more reading the WWE's wikipedia page. It wasn't even about Vince...why the fukk are you talking about how Cena found his rapping gimmick and Taker losing the streak :gucci:

Who gives a shyt. Just straight up A-Z of WWE more than a character study of Cokeboy. I'm sure it's entertaining for non-wrestling fans but it ain't for weirdos like us.

OK I got a good laugh out of them calling Vince out on his Ted Turner complaints and how hypocritical he was being considering that's exactly what he did in the 80s. Vince went full spin mode admitting he says shyt to the public to try and put a mindset out there even though he knows its bullshyt and says that's just how business works. Sounds full blown Trump with that.

I didn't realize Hall was fukking the fan up that bad during the NWO reveal.

If there’s one thing this doc has shown me 4.5 eps in…Trump and Vince are the same fukking person breh.

Absolutely, the way Trump looks and treats his voters is the same way Vince treats his fans. They know they can throw all kinds of bullshyt out there and a large portion will eat it right up and repeat it. It's the reason pretty much every WWE presented doc repeats the same lies over and over. And for the most part they've been proven right.

There were shades of them trying to carve a different path even as early as Diesel.. the business was in the toilet and they were trying to think of anything they could. Heyman had Vince's ear at times, if you recall they even had ECW show up at RAW. Lawler and them showed up at ECW...

Goldust was probably the most adult themed character they had in a minute... that was definitely a change in direction..

I forgot about the Big Bossman hanging thing. For those around, was there any controversy in real time? That fukked my head up when I first saw it

It worked for the chase, but the title run has been boring.
I’m not a WWE every dayer and haven’t been in yearsssss…but they been running this whole RKO, KO, and Cody vs Bloodline dynamic for at least a year. And I understand that Bloodline is basically a multi year commitment like a novel series or something, but this particular segment has worn thin for me

It makes it feel like WWE has a hella shallow roster of main event caliber guys, even though I know they’ve acquired quite a few dudes

Got a couple minutes left all in all. I think I'd still recommend this to someone with a little knowledge of WWE. It's a good macro recap and entertaining enough in the middle episodes to warrant sitting through it.

I think the modern part of it is probably the weakest. It's the stuff the current wrestling community knows the most in terms of leaks and shyt, so maybe they didn't feel like it was worth trying to dig more than what was publicly accessible.

there alot of guys they can elevate. Cody just needs to start jobbing out and letting actual main event worthy guys climb up the card. The wrestlemania build up was hot but the product has gotten a bit stale since.
