Talk about it here.

An interesting news piece with clips from the match set to punk rock and Monsoon and Hulk given kayfabed interviews but in a way that feels behind the scenes. Hulk says there is no substitute for victory and he’ll take as many shortcuts as possible. The piece turns utterly bizarre when the slow things down with eerie music saying Gorilla threw an air punch when it’s clearly a chop that did make contact. We then get the Samoans that couldn’t be interviewed because they don’t speak English. Piece finishes with wrestling being compared to recreational vehicles. This lacked focus lacked but was fun to see.
