Was it just something the wrestlers (or Vince) did for fun, or was it supposed to lead to actual matches?

With Cena playing a big role in it I wouldn't be surprised if it was something he wanted to do

I think it was just the wrestlers having fun and giving them something to do backstage before shows. I'd be shocked if Vince wrote or had much to do with it.

The one time Impressive Pelvis Wesley showed up at Raw stands as every imaginable reason why it's a good thing that Southpaw never led to anything more.

I remember someone said that it started off as something dudes just happened to be doing backstage but I think Jericho or Cena was like "hey this is actually funny as hell what if we got the company to make this a thing"

Southpaw has the rotten legacy of making us believe that Gallows and Anderson could be interesting wrestlers if only. If only.

For it being genuinely the funniest thing WWE did at the very least that decade, possibly ever.

The originals were funny. The second run was fine, but proved you can't catch lightning in a bottle lol

But as a "prequel" of sorts, it lacked the charm of season 1. Doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it, and it was fun to see the backstories behind some of the characters and see how they ended up where they were in the first season.

It was less consistent than the first season.

It was a lot of fun for the sake of fun and IIRC, the original idea was Gallows and Anderson's brainchild before they got everyone else on board.
