It's 10 episodes of 50 minutes each.

I'm not sure how exciting it will be though. This ain't the 90s where people weren't afraid to politic and argue with creative.

It will debunk a bunch of dirtsheets, when they see Bayley doesnt get upset about being left off WM, and Charlotte doesnt have the power to control her booking. Stuff of that nature that exists on the internet. But in reality, today every single person is a yes man, and what you see on TV is 100 percent from the creative team and that's fine to the talent as long as they still employed (shoutout to Sasha and Naomi)

There's potential for some classic clips, "this is the little amount of thought that went into this? :mjlol: " Or splicing them hyping up a big idea with how it played out horribly on TV.

Now that I think about it, this show was made entirely for the internet community :lolbron:

I mostly agree with you. But let’s be real—this show isn’t made for traditional wrestling fans. It’s for people curious about wrestling and why it’s so popular.

If you’re old school and prefer not to be in the loop, that’s fine. Just don’t tune in and then turn around complaining about it, like the IWC or those washed old wrestler podcasts always do. They’ll rant for a few weeks, and just like always, it’ll fade into the background and be forgotten.

I’ll check it out. Always interesting to see how things work backstage (even tho I’m sure they won’t air every detail). Definitely see some industry heads :pacspit: it. :skip:

You might be right conceptually but I don't think it's going to work that way. Not saying YOU'RE wrong, just a flawed idea itself.

Most non-wrestling fans couldn't care less about writers room behind the scenes stuff. You have to be a fan to appreciate the inner workings. Same way I don't care about behind the scenes footage of say a Taylor Swift concert

I think the best "crossover" appeal show would be Dark Side of the Ring type stuff, which tells a dramatic story that's usually interesting in its own right. I've gotten some non-wrestling fans to enjoy specific DOTR episodes, they have universe appeal in that way. Something like Hidden Treasures on A&E can also work for a non-fan. I am not convinced this show has that

someone on reddit pointed this out and a lot makes sense from that trailer

the shot of the creative team discussion

all white dudes, no women, no POC

explains a lot
