A video by Max Landis (best known as a writer of the movie Chronicle, and a big pro wrestling fan) discussing what makes wrestling so great. I'm posting it here because it revolves around HHH. Also, I'm fairly certain this doesn't have any WWE footage, so I'm posting the video.

I expected this to be a 24 minute "this is why wrestling is awesome" spiel, but it's actually really funny and well done.

The amount of cameos in this is incredible.

God I've been excited for this for ages. Max Landis is possibly my favourite person in film at the moment with Chronicle, The Death of SUperman, Jane LA (which if you haven't watch it watch that NOW) and just his general demeanour.
Whats really interesting is that he's going at this from a kayfabe nature, especially in the first bit with the talk about the Blueblood and the start of DX. Its good to not have the curtain call rehashed once again

This thing made me appreciate the Triple H character a lot more than I did, and that's a feat in and of itself.

"This Format allows the telling for interesting, diverse and compelling stories." It can? When not overseen by 70-year-olds writing for children, yes, yes it can. On subject though, this might overtake Chronicle as my favorite thing that Landis has made. Funny skits, great insight into wrestling, hot chicks, and awesome cameos, that's a perfect video if I ever saw one. I just wonder if there's any other wrestler that's gone through as many changes as Triple H to get a video like this. Edge maybe?

I can't get past the fact that my favorite wrestler, Daniel Bryan, is portrayed by an actress that resembles my celebrity crush Kate Micucci of Garfunkel & Oates.
Also, John Cena is adorable.

I wish Land is didn't have bigger fish to fry. He could be a huge asset to the creative team.

I think the beauty of this is that Landis gets IT. That little thing that is the reason we put up with evil cheerleaders, leprechurns lying about being a billionaire's son or a Italian guy with a snake sockpuppet. That beautiful thing in the centre of it all makes wrestling incredible and when you gaze upon it it kinda implants itself in you and makes you crave it almost. The thing that makes you watch nearly 1000 hours of it a year.
