Obviously there's quite some kayfabe implemented here plus the typical reality-show manipulation edits/cuts, but ZZ is so totally useless, no idea what anyone sees in him
Dana seems like a really likeable very feminine girly-girl irl, I can see a big face turn down the line someday
The rookie promo session was quite good, well the few promos that we saw
Would love to see more of the NXT undercarders (Samson, Moss, Aaliyah/Nooph...), Sabbatelli really needs a gimmick or something to cover up his lack of charisma, he's a goodlooking athletic dude but there's a big part of a good wrestler missing there

"Are you intellectually malnourished?" Regal is awesome. He can insult you, then make you wonder if he actually DID insult you, then later... you're like "Damn... that really hurt!"
Really loving this show, it's exactly what I wanted to see on the Network and just hope it keeps going.

I want to see much more of Regal and Brookside going Whiplash on people.

The main female trainer has quite a scary face. Looks like a skull, to me.

Anyone else having problems loading this weeks episode? It plays the first 10 seconds then cuts to 30 seconds later in the show and plays that 10 seconds then cuts back 30 seconds. It's just this episode, last weeks episode is loading fine and other shows on the Network are loading fine as well. I'm watching on PS4.

Breaking Ground is like crack, to be honest. I feel like it is the show all wrestling fans have always wanted... A show about what it is REALLY like to be a wrestler. Man, does it shatter and then piss on whatever is left of kayfabe, but man is it good. After two episodes I might call it riveting.

My PS4 did the same. I work in customer service for a really big streaming service, and there is always trouble on the PS4. PS4 is not good for streaming. Worked fine on my tablet.

Two episodes in and they've never actually said "Wrestling's a staged competition, we know who's winning when we go in." and they've never had any conflict about finishes. I think they'll deliberately avoid it.

I think they'll deliberately avoid it. As they should really. Card Placement and such should be as far as that goes and the overall grind it takes for these stars to get where they are
I don't need to have something blatantly stated that I already know and doesn't frankly need to be stated at all or conflicts about finishes unless it's over interesting things like maybe them screwing it up because a live botch is always something I wondered about in how the wrestlers and the trainers take it. OR an injury during the match and possibly working through it, that would be interesting to see how those are handled.
There's plenty of things Breaking Ground can do and so many people they can focus on that they can really help get over with the show itself (I think they're already doing that with Dana Brooke), that it's just amazing already.
I too can't wait for more, and on a side note, I LOVE seeing Sara Del Rey, Albert, Regal, and Brookside as big focuses to it, those four are incredible people and Regal is just amazing to listen to

Had so many problems with this weeks episode keeps skipping 10 seconds going back a few seconds as well, really frustrating.

It was really hard for them to edit that rookie introduction piece because one of them kept yelling FRANK over and over for some reason

I really, really want them to show Adam Pearce more. He's an incredible talent, a super nice guy and he deserves to be known to everyone.

It is kinda interesting, if only for the whole bts aspect of the training center. I watched an ep they put up on youtube and I'll say that for a reality show its probably the least "lowest common denominator" one I've seen in a while. It doesn't go out of its way to create fake drama. Sure they pick and choose the subjects that they think will create the most "interesting" storyline, but that's par for the course. Its more fun for the audience to watch people struggle with learning to wrestle than following people like Crews who pretty much already know how it all works.

I'd buy a "left foot" t-shirt.
Well.... for Breaking Ground and other reasons.

who betta than Canyon....to fire people's arses. Are you telling me that they got a former Beach Vollyball player with an MA in Business Management to be the Senior Director of Talent Development? At least with Johnny Ace, he had some real wrestling background in Japan and WCW. If Corbin really is like this in real life, I can't wait for him to go nuclear on this guy. Saw this vid of him on Youtube and it is painful to watch! Mr Excitement!

I'm surprised when Regal got on people about popping up in a fighting stance he didn't instruct them to beckon their opponent towards them while referring to their opponent as "sunshine".
Robbie Brookside is being squandered as a trainer. He needs to be on TV as a reformed soccer hooligan who now manages his two soccer hooligan sons.

I'm a behind-the-scenes and process wonk so this kind of show is catnip for me. The first episode was decent but this last one was so good. There's a lot of cracks in the format but it's still fun.
Also, pretty sure ZZ is being set up as an underdog story to add to his eventual WWE character. Most of that stuff was way too much for the camera
