WOW.
I both pissed myself and was amazed by the attention to detail and little touches. And cameos.
Got me thinking, a female Shawn Michaels would be cool. Let's use THAT girl too. Or give it to Sasha Banks. She's got the gear down.

Funny, entertaining, easy to watch, made sense of a character's 20 year story arc. I love the passion with which Landis communicates the message. It makes me love wrestling a little bit more and I didn't think I could.

I realize my opinion about this video is likely in the vast minority, but I only made it a couple of minutes before I thought "this is dumb and obnoxious" and shut it. Just tried to give it another shot and the same thing happened. Still, I'm glad something that provides a non-stereotypical, genuinely positive portrayal of wrestling is getting so much attention. I watched 10 minutes. I fxxxing hate "TITTY DICK FXXX SHIT I CURSE BCUZ LOL." I can't get into it. Im cringing at everything and haven't laughed once.

I get that in this thread there is going to be a large conglomerate that say, "The narrator is annoying. I don't like the delivery and the swearing." And I get that, but if you don't watch the entire thing, you are really missing out. I've watched it like 4 times now, and the truth is that yeah it's campy and overproduced and takes a lot of liberties, but that message at the end gets me every single time. The last 2 minutes are awesome, and give you goosebumps.
That's all.

Gonna give this thread a Friendly Bump, loved every second of the video, REALLY late to seeing it, but I am super glad I finally got around to it, I can understand the guy may not be everyone's cup of tea, but he was fine with me, was sucked in almost from the get go and enthralled the rest of the way Good job, and deserves every Over a Million Views it has gotten and gets

I watched it while the wife was playing on her laptop. She HATES wrestling and even she was glancing up to watch it and made no snide comments.

We need to see the other wrestlers that weren't in this one.
We need girl Shield, girl Bork and girl Rusev

Bryan Alvarez has said that the WWE aren't allowing their wrestlers to tweet about "Wrestling Isn't Wrestling", mainly because of the bad language used in it, as relates to their PG mantra. Alvarez is currently in a Twitter exchange with Max Landis about this. And probably because "You Know Who" is mentioned in it

Landis said he's working on something about Undertaker and Kane next. It's not a video, so it might be a comic like the one he made for Mickey Mouse.

Watched the whole thing finally. The last 2 minutes are indeed a pretty good summary as to the appeal of pro wrestling, and the women are all very attractive, but beyond that I stand by my initial reaction of "this is dumb and obnoxious."
I do give Landis credit for effort and for obviously being a legit fan. Just his style of humor's not for me.

It took me a while but I just realized where I knew "Daniel Bryan" from. The actress that plays him (Anna Lore) is also the cute girl who takes off a piece of her cheek in that anti-smoking commercial.

She's definitely a cutie and one of my favorite parts of the short (next togirl Cena). And here's a gif of her for no other reason than just cuz.

The best part for me was that he nailed why 95% of the audience over the age of 12 dislike Cena:
"He takes the stakes out of everything."
I find it ironic that Triple H can tweet "You get it" and then continue to retain the blandest character ever created in wrestling at the top of the card.
Perhaps Triple H realises that but it's Vince that continues the Cena train.
