Anyone remember Beyond the Mat? First time I realised that all these larger than life characters I watched as a kid growing up are sometimes some really damaged people. The Jake Roberts parts were heartbreaking to watch. We all knew he had this dark persona on TV but when you watch this and realise why, its pretty hard to watch. And the Ric Flair ESPN 30 for 30 special where you realise that he basically lived his persona in real life and drank him self silly for about a decade but still managed to do some of his finest work in the ring. It's crazy to think.

All of thats true, just add three more decades in Ric's case, no wonder his intestines just said no more, after his last big drink up. Jake baffled me completely, i never would of expected him to still be freebasing well into the 90's and possibly even to the early mid 00's whenever that indie circuit video of him finding his daughter was around.

He was so over as the company's babyface underdog at the turn of the millennium. A perfect compliment to The Rock as 'The Guy'.

And the entire heel turn was a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

There was one night I wanted to murder WWE cause they made Ambrose look like an idiot. It was that night 8nknew they didn't know how to tell good stories anymore. It was probably like 2015 I don't remember exactly. It was after the shield broke up and Roman was doing his one against all gimmick. Earlier in the night Ambrose was in a match and was attacked by Kevin Owens. A little bit after the match they have Ambrose cause it's promo but hes gonna do whatever he can to get his revenge on Owens. Later on in the night they have Roman in a one vs all match. All these people come down, he beats them and then we get Kevin Owens coming down as his next opponent. Then they heels start a beat down. This would be the perfect opportunity for Ambrose to a) get revenge and B) help his "brother". Does Ambrose show up to help him when the beat down starts? Nope! No Ambrose anywhere and I lost faith that day.

It's annoying how Vinnie Mac treated such performers like KO with such little regard just because they weren't jacked like the Warrior. Completely disregarding their other unique attributes that got them over in the first place

Wrestling with Shadows was set up to make Brett look good. He would show up late to shows and had pulled the whole “I won’t drop the title” shit before. Unpopular opinion but Vince made the right call.

The Rise & Fall of WCPW accidentally uncovered the TRUTH of Simon Miller and his feeling on the wrestling. Very controversial . You need ot do a review on it. You would be shocked totally. It gave me a new looks on his character in a way that is legit. One of the best documentary ever.

People wonder "why" Ultimate Warrior hated interacting with his fans. The incident at an airport where a kid was bothering him, prompted Vince McMahon to "compel" Warrior to apologize to the kid, only fueled Warrior's refusal to engage with his fans. This in turn, caused Vince to take the World title strap from the hostile, "fan-unfriendly" Ultimate Warrior. Any pro wrestler, champion or not, who does not connect with his/her fans is done for. The reason that Lex Luger was never given the WWF World title is because he failed to connect with the fans with his "Made In the USA/Lex Express" gimmick. Any "babyface" World champion must be fan-friendly.

It's interesting that while saying, "the locker room right now is a better place than it was," you show video clips of several wresters implicated in scandals or accused of wrong doing who were never dealt with or disciplined based on WWE's zero tolerance policy.

I’d say under the mat talking about Foley V Rock and showing how much that traumatizes foleys kids it’s pretty bad as well as the stuff with Jake the Snake. And depending on your opinion HBOs documentary on Andre the giant arguably exposed/showed Vince’s uncaringness towards Andre as hogan was becoming the man.

the new era of documentaries are so desperate. they don't even use Velocity anymore, they just let the scene hang so you can see little microexpressions in people's faces that are portrayed as deception towards the topic, when in reality, they were probably just nervous from being around a bunch of fidgety geeky crew members.

This one time, Vince is right about Lee (not the new gimmick they gave him) on the fact that I never believed in him as a babyface you wanted to see win. No real character, but his athleticism/moves in the ring seemed to compensate his lack of real promo skills. I always thought his tenor and cadence, even mannerisms, were too Rock-like for my taste.
