I just finished watching this series and thought it was amazing. So insightful, tasteful, in-depth and emotional. Very very impressive documentary series.
I particularly enjoyed the back quarter of the fourth chapter where a bunch of different stars of the past (Michaels, Triple H, Flair, Batista, Austin, Edge) weigh on on retirement. I love HBK's analogy about painting a portrait for the last thirty years, and putting the final finishing touches on it, taking a step back and being happy with it, and signing your name at the bottom.
Truth be told I'm necessarily that much of an Undertaker fan, but had heard this series was worth checking out, and it completely surpassed my expectations.
Isn't it crazy that 15-20 years ago, we were all on 4w discussing the behind-the-scenes of wrestling like we were the underground subculture? And now WWE themselves are producing content like this, aimed at the fans of the backstage production more than thr show itself? I know kayfabe has been dead for ages, but it feels like there are no marks at all any more. Us smarky IWC fucks have completely taken over everything.
