I wonder how HHH feels about the Reign of Terror being brought back to light with this doc after rehabilitating his image/status amongst older fans with NXT

That spinner belt hung around for longer than it had any right to
That embarrassing eyesore of a belt lasted for NINE years...NINE?? The first time Cena last that title it should’ve went away.
It’s cause during Attitude, he was probably the 5th or 6th most important wrestler. In RA, his Reign Of Terror made him the forefront of it.

Ehh, it really should've been dropped after his year long reign in 07, it actually didn't look bad on Edge and kinda tied into the storyline with the Rated R spinner.
You know it's kind of weird they jumped right into Cena since he didn't really become the top guy until 2005, so there are 3 years of shyt they just skipped over that were pretty important. Things like:
Smackdown Six
Brock
Big Evil
HHH/Evolution
The wave of big name WCW guys coming in in late 2002-early 2003
Especially as a lot of them were important factors in Cena's rise. It's not like Cena was holding shyt down at the start of the RA era. I know WWE rarely does their docs 100% accurate chronological order but in this case there were definitely more important things to cover before Cena popped off if you're covering that whole era. Maybe they'll give a definitive time frame as well because to me it ends after Benoit, but for some it runs all the way until they changed back to PG, but they were showing clips from up to 2012 in both episodes sooo

Nope. Again it's clear WWE spin to not bring up the negative effect HHH had on the internet wrestling community and all the backlash against his reign of terror. They're going to paint it as if it was great TV.

I'm offended he called the Undisputed Championship a bland boring title
The chronology is so wrong
Should be: Ep 1, Ep 5, Ep 4, Ep 2, Ep 3
This is the binge era everything has to be in order
That spinner belt hung around for longer than it had any right to
It definitely did but compared to the lazy ass generic belts they have today, it’s was breath of fresh air and was at least an attempt to make something creative
Man if they just gloss over the Smackdown 6 and Big Evil

Yeah I was thrown off by them showing Cena so early as he didn't really take over until a few years in to the Ruthless Aggression era. The fact that the Smackdown Six doesn't have its own episode is pretty ridiculous too as that became a huge deal especially online.I'm offended he called the Undisputed Championship a bland boring title

To me, my board!
Far, far too longThat spinner belt hung around for longer than it had any right to
It should’ve gone away as soon as Cena lost it

Also the mid-late RA era with the Matt/Edge feud, Cena/Edge feud, ECW revival, and Taker/Batista feud
It seems like they're just focusing on 2002-2005.

Which means the SHOULD be showing the SD6 as they made up probably a full year and a half between 02 and early 04, and it’s a shame they’re bypassing that

After nearly a decade of Vince shoving Cena down everyone’s throats is it really surprising they jumped into the ‘Cena Saved WWE’ pool so early?
