I loved those Rollins/Steamboat matches. Whatever happened to Richie Steamboat? I thought he had a real bright future and he just seems to have disappeared.

They really killed it with that doc. Fantastic, detailed stuff that really gave you an insight on the guys while putting them over like crazy. I noticed that they skipped the Rollins spot too, but they probably just wanted to make them all look as strong as possible. The Ambrose stuff, not surprisingly, was the most interesting. Still prefer Rollins, who can just do anything in the ring. Reigns seemed like the guy that people were selling the hardest. Kinda weird, being that he's the one who people "shouldn't" need to be sold on at all. Maybe they don't buy it as much as they think. I think they're all going to continue to be amazing, regardless.

It sort of came off to me like they had to have more random bits of praise in there for Reigns than the other two just to compensate for him not having as much of a backstory or anything. I don't think it was so much trying to make him look like the big deal of the three as much as there just wasn't anything else to say about him.

They definitely glossed over his story more than the other two. I understand not having the footage of the others, but they could have gotten more interview time with the people around him or some stories or something. It leaves you not learning as much about him, and therefore harder to connect than with Ambrose and Rollins.

Amazing. CZW and DGUSA footage. I'm in awe. This is why I love WWE Network.

I know this is the mark in me but showing Rollins/Ambrose working out in their own ways just makes me wish they'd have specials on each wrestler's work-out routines/diets. I've wanted this since I was 12 and saw the hype video for Lesnar vs The Rock, but still!
Nice simple documentary from the Network crew overall, a good mix of WWE rivalry kayfabe and reality.

I thought this was a great documentary. Put over all three guys big time and even helped explain better why Rollins turned on them too. He felt they'd gone as far as they could and he wanted to be THE guy and not one of 3 guys so I appreciated that touch.
What I also loved was that it showed that we as fans don't need to worry about either the future of WWE nor of Rollins, Ambrose, and Reigns. This documentary showed that none of these guys are going to flame out or leave or anything like that. They are here for the long haul and are dedicated to wrestling and being the best and take over. These 3 guys are dead set on being the corner stone for WWE for the next decade plus and I love that.

It was a great documentary. I loved learning how they all got in the business and all their upbringing before the main roster. We are in for a great future.

Loved it. Ambrose in the desert was just one of those "That's so Ambrose" things seeing how he doesn't like being in a public spotlight unless it's in a ring.

I would like to see another done by WM31. To see how they've developed.

Richie had to get back surgery a while back no telling when he'll return to NXT Is he still under contract? I don't remember ever hearing about him being released.

There's been some back and forth on it - some sources say he was released in December, some say he wasn't and the initial ones were wrong.

Given that we had one for WM and now for SummerSlam, maybe they're going to turn this into a pseudo-series for the "Big Four" events, focusing on a different person's road to that event?
