Good to see WWE isn't just doing shows that are focused on wrestling. Although, I get that they want people to sign up to watch this right after Raw, but I can't help but feel that there are people that would like to watch it "live" and not have the show end at midnight (never mind the part of having four (five with the Raw pre-show) hours of first run WWE content on one night).

So it's not just the Usos on the road as I thought it was - it'll actually flesh out their personalities, which the main shows come nowhere near to doing.

Did anyone else see this? The "10 Hours to Houston" tagline was a reference to when Umaga took them to Houston from the crappy lives they found themselves in, in order to get trained to wrestle by Booker T. And then they said that pretty much right when they signed to WWE, Umaga died. Pretty crummy circumstances, but at least Umaga passed knowing his work in getting his nephews into the big time was successful.

The editing of this was a bit haphazard, but I really liked learning more about their story and family ties. I had no idea that Umaga was basically their surrogate father when Fatu/Rikishi was on the road. Glad they were able to live their dream and had a pretty good run with tag belts.

I loved that they showed footage from Booker T's old PWA promotion. I wonder if Book sold the video library to WWE. I once went to one of his shows and it was pretty good.

Oh this is a series. I thought that this was a random Special.
I always thought that the network would be better served to have a Confidential-esque show where they profile people who aren't quite popular enough to warrant a DVD.

I'd much prefer an "After They Were Superstars" a show where they track down Nailz, Dynamite Kid and the like.
