After seeing all you guys rave about it, I tried watching with a friend and we both hated it. Shut it off after about 5 minutes. I hated his Death of Superman video too so maybe I just don't like Max Landis. (love his dad though)

Finally got around to seeing this after being basically begged by my work mate to watch it.
AND IT WAS AWESOME! Probably my favourite "fan made" video about Wrestling of all time. So good!

You know, watching the video again, I think it's hilarious that they represented title matches via tug-of-war because of how ridiculous it looks, and then realize that WWE did it unironically in the go-home show this week.

I hate this video.
No, not because of content, production, story telling, direction, or anything like that. It was amazing.
I hate it because now, I can't look at Randy Orton without thinking "I'm a f***ing snaaaaake!"

Someone on the writing crew must've been watching WiW over the weekend on repeat.

Could somebody please help me out? I'm trying to make this my avatar: And it doesn't allow me because it doesn't support the whatever. I tried uploading it to photobucket but it wouldn't upload. Can somebody upload that gif to something I could put in my avatar? Thanks to whoever would do this.

I LOOVE this video so much.
The end almost brings me to tears.
I can't fathom how any fan of wrestling doesn't like this video.
Yes I know difference of opinion blah blah blah, we have to respect different opinions blah blah blAh, but seriously if u can't watch this and appreciate what it's doing, then we can't be friends...

Just makes you appreciate the product more. Broke down Triple H's character in the deepest of ways and honestly it was well-deserved. For all the crap Triple H gets, he's evolved continuously.
If there's another I suggest Undertaker, Edge, HBK or Kane.

Interesting video. Was tough to keep watching for as long as it was though. So yeah H said that Max "gets it". The way I see it is that getting it involves filling in all the broken storylines and continuity with your own interpretation.
A lot of wrestling sucks, but when it's good, it's F****** GREAT. That was the best line. And the most accurate.

I cracked up at a lot of this video. The X-Pac stuff and the Cena stuff was amazing and I really enjoyed the cameos. The one line that stuck with me at the end was, like almost everyone here, that some of wrestling is stupid, but when it is good, it is f***ing great. That is the primary reason I still watch, when the good stuff happens, it is as good as gold.
BTW, the girl who plays HHH looks so much like Gillian Jacobs (Britta Perry) from Community.

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 guess I'm proud to be a 5%er. Oh, there's things I'd change. But Cena remains a reliable big-time match player year after year.

Didn't like this video. I get what he was going for, but his portrayal of Cena didn't bother to acknowledge the people who actually do enjoy him and, yes, are over the age of 18. Not to mention he completely missed the point of Superman's character entirely.
Maybe I'm just lapsed from wrestling altogether or I'm just as out of touch as Vince, but it just kinda annoyed me.

Yes I know difference of opinion blah blah blah, we have to respect different opinions blah blah blAh, but seriously if u can't watch this and appreciate what it's doing, then we can't be friends... 1. Don't like Max Landis 2. Don't like HHH and this is a love letter to his run 3. It's just a rich geek who got cute girls to play wrestlers. 4. A lot of his insights are off imo, like making it sound like HHH created the idea of a stable, the WWF was the first to have an anti-establishment group, that HHH was surprised at being booed when he was a heel, etc. 5. Didn't think it was very funny. Someone compared it to Drunk History and I don't think that show is funny either. I really hated when he said we didn't have to question the plausibility of HHH marrying a drugged up Steph because it wasn't real. But movies and tv shows aren't real either but they still have to make sense. When things make sense it's easier to suspend disbelief.

I know you love Cena Clash...but that ruined the whole thing for you? If you don't like it cool, but I find it hard to believe you love Cena so much that it ruined the other 22 minutes or so he's not in. What else didn't you like?

It was a decent little tribute to wrestling, but I'm burnt out on the backlash against Superman characters. It's a buzz kill for me now.
