WWE Ruthless Aggression Era Docu-Series Thread (Season 2 Out Now)

[Playaz Eyez]

I completely skipped this era

I remember Brock Lesnar (YAWN) had been around for like two months and then they went from WWF to WWE....Spring 2002 I was done until 2012 when I started watching again

You actually missed a good amount of gems during that period (but fortunately you missed an outrageous amount of trash)

Spoiler

Didn't know the draft was unscripted and the main talent had no idea they'd be picked
Imagine the stress on the talent

So this was his legit reaction?

Best angle in the RA period was Cena getting stabbed by Jesus in the club.

OVW 2002 Class was 2003 NBA draft class tier with the crop of future stars that came from it

Gonna peep after Takeover

I was surprised at their degree of honesty that the Invasion was bad. I thought they were gonna spin it somehow.

Them being as candid as they were about how unprepared they were for Rock going to Hollywood was surprising as well.(I thought they were gonna somehow spin that too)

Stone Cold admitting his self destruction around that time period and talking about balking at the proposed Lesnar KOR qualifying match and the roles they played in him walking out

I'm sure they won't go into detail on the exact thing Stone Cold was abusing at the time, but it was coke. That also helped contribute to his paranoia about Vince trying to fukk him over.

RAW goes WCW

OVW class

Hey country boy, you wanna dance

With whoooo?



2002 draft will never not be funny

SCSA pretty much at the decision to lose to Brock

I hope this doesn't turn into a john cena suck fest

How you know? i always wondered. He mentions having demons around this time but never went into detail over the years. I always assumed he was on steroids really bad. He's considerably bigger in 02'-03'.

Ehhh I'd imagine certain people knew they were going or they at least told guys how to react depending on their pick. Undertaker was in the angle with HHH so of course he would've wanted to be on HHH's show.

Prichard said it was only like 2 top stars who knew 100% where they were going. I feel like Rock and Hogan were the two cause Stone Cold’s draft story was “where is free agent Stone Cold gonna sign?” And HHH was Undisputed Champ, so he was doing both shows till he dropped the title

I’d imagine politician Hogan would want that info off bat for reasons

 

[FunkDoc1112]

They tried to front like they changed the name on purpose

Then they made it seem like business started booming again afer the brand split when the opposite happened.

Having just watched this tonight, I had some thoughts:

• I was really at them starting this shyt off with ANOTHER Monday Night Wars recap. Atleast they summed it up quickly.
• Hearing this level of honesty from the company in a documentary is refreshing. I never expected them to openly shyt on the inVasion angle. Buff catching strays
• Not being able to have Jericho involved in this kinda sucks, he was one of the biggest stars of that era
  
• I felt like they downplayed the Rock leaving to an extent
• They really acted like the name change was intentional and wasn’t Panda making them fall back
• Using Cena’s debut as the lead-in to the next episode was a nice touch
