[THEREALBRAND]

Nah y’all missed out

Us 30 and up brehs truly blessed to have grown up during the GOAT era

LOL at this kiddie nonsense. If you’re not 50 or older you missed the true Golden Era of wrestling.

I saw Ric Flair and The Minnesota Wrecking Crew break Dusty’s leg in the cage at The Omni in 85. That was real wrestling.

 

[StarClout]

the ruthless agression is only 3 episodes?

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.

Episode 1 – It’s Time To Shake Things Up
Available Sunday, Feb. 16 at 10 a.m. ET
As The Monday Night War comes to a close, WWE reckons with the challenges that arise from its acquisition of WCW and the departure of established Superstars like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and The Rock, as well as makes the bold decision to split its roster between two brands.

Episode 2 – Enter John Cena
Available Monday, Feb. 17 at 10 a.m. ET
A new, if polarizing, Superstar emerges in the form of John Cena. After enjoying initial success, Cena struggles to find himself as a performer and realizes he’s on on the brink of being fired — that is, until his adoption of new persona launches him to new heights.

Episode 3 – Evolution
Available Monday, Feb. 24 at 10 a.m. ET
No faction ruled the Ruthless Aggression Era more than Evolution, the dominant union of Triple H, “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, Randy Orton and Batista.

Episode 4 – The Next Big Thing
Available Monday, March 2 at 10 a.m. ET

[Vic Damone. Jr]

Brock’s look against Funaki


Get the fukk off me !

 

[Silkk]

A whole Lesnar documentary and dude didn't speak one time

 

[NoMorePie]

Getting caught up with the series.

They really showed Chris Benoit like they didn't even try to hide him. His face showed and while body showed

The Lesnar episode was probably the most boring episode in the series. Heyman more or less carried the episode on his back for the most part ironically. It was cool to find out how the Rock co-signed giving him the strap when Brock had the momentum. Otherwise it felt like a 42 minute promo to justify why they are still booking Brock this strong to this day. Also watching him back during his initial run reminded me how much he’s phoning it in now.

Another episode where random "veterans" tried to have someone's push cut off early for not being ready and giving the young wrestlers bad advice to try and make them look bad in the ring. My question is how dumb must WWE management be to actually keep falling for that. Also dope how it seems Rock and Angle were always willing to work with anyone and have them looking good.

Who were they ?

 

[threattonature]

Who were they ?

They never name names but I think we all know it was Triple H. He was the main one pushing that "main-event" style back then and trying to hold down the actual great wrestlers he couldn't keep up with.

 

[TheGodling]

So not only did they skip over Rock vs Hogan at X8 in Episode 1, but they also skipped over Taker vs Flair at X8 (which Flair stated in his book helped him in addition to HHH and Vince helping him get his mojo back after being depressed from his 90s WCW run) in this episode when talking about Flair getting his steps back in the beginning of the episode?

HHH is getting all the credit in damn near ever episode. I wanna see how they spin HHH into Brock's episode knowing how he did his damndest to keep 2002/3 Brock away from him

That said, Evolution episode is decent so far (watching now). "You wanna make friends or you wanna make money?"

'I stayed away from Brock Lesnar because I didn't want to risk cooling him down. He had so much potential so we couldn't do anything to Brock to take that away. Y'know, putting a red hot top guy like myself at the time on screen with a rookie would've put all eyes on me and taken away some of Brock's aura, so for the sake of Brock's career I talked to Vince and he agreed I should keep my nose out of Brock's business. Now it's more than fifteen years later and anyone can see how my decision back then helped Brock Lesnar become one of the biggest superstars today.'

Found one of the episodes on youtube get it before they take it down lol.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

I know that is a segment on Evolution, but that spin on what happened down to the sheer verbiage. This doc needed to be 100% made by former employees that were close to everybody

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

My boy Mark Jindrak look like he wanted to cry reflecting on getting the boot from hhh
