Yeah the RWs one, while well produced, did come across as clearly lacking. How many times did they go back to Hawk's drug problems? I have no doubt it probably affected things but they didn't even mention him doing monkey steroids which affected his heart. No mention of them returning to WCW, which I *think* happened in the early Nitro era before their WWE return. No mention of Animal being injured and getting the Lloyd's of London thing that was at least a decent sized factor in Hawk going off & doing the Hell Raisers thing. It was common knowledge that Animal wasn't happy about it but he shouldn't have been totally blindsided since he was basically out of the business at that point. He literally couldn't wrestle without forfeiting the $ and then when he came back it had to be in tags.

This season has been very well done for sure. The interviews with Kevin's adult daughters and Kerry's ex were all excellent. I like the approach they took to the Horsemen doc, focusing on the 80s version and just quickly recapping all the later versions without muddying up the story by going into all of that in detail. The LOD one was very well done but had a MAJOR flaw just like the Hogan Netflix one, you really can't properly tell their story without the Japan portion. It really undersells how big of stars they were and how much $ was rolling in. This one had like a 15 second mention of Hell Raisers but ignored Japan altogether otherwise.

Anything previously unreleased on the MSG show that went up?

@kev72 and I went to see this a few days ago. Amazing casting and it was very good but depressing as expected. I was kinda amazed at the eye for detail on some stuff which made the Flair thing a bit more glaring but since I was expecting that I didn’t think it was too egregious. I liked the easter egg type details in there that only someone that truly knew the story would know what they were seeing such as Kevin passing a car on the road, I instantly knew that was David Manning going to tell Fritz about David though none of that was spelled out. The only thing I thought might be total fiction was them laying Kerry’s body out on the table. I think my favorite part was how much they humanized Mike as I don’t think many people really knew much about him. I think seeing it all play out kinda drove home just how young these guys were succumbing to all this pressure. I can’t even imagine what a non-wrestling fan that just happened to want to see a Zac Efron movie thought of it all. Talk about grim.
