“The Last Ride” is the equivalent to Jordan’s “The Last Dance” if you like it or not.
All these years Taker has been VERY protective of his character and rarely broke kayfabe on camera. The closest we got to him being “normal” was his American Bad Ass character.
Like the Jordan doc, this is the first time we have EVER seen Taker be completely stripped of his character and is just himself. We are seeing never before seen behind the scenes of Taker that they have had in the vault for YEARS. And he is being very candid about stuff which is something we NEVER thought we would see.
For a wrestling fan, this is GOLD.
The first 2 episodes was GREAT, and honestly it should be nominated for some awards. But you already know it won’t
My only complaint is that they are aren’t going completely into his history and not doing flashbacks to certain eras like the Jordan doc. For example, hearing his opinion about the Ministry gimmick, his mind frame on the Big Evil era, his best matches, etc.
But other then that, so far this doc is great.
And if you can’t appreciate that, then idk what to tell ya
