“UNReal” – The Poster & Trailer are Here!

The poster and trailer for UNReal is here!  I love behind-the-scenes look and this one takes us behind the curtain of the WWE.

Deal me in.

When I was a kid, I loved pro wrestling.  I grew up in Terre Haute, Indiana.  The Bruiser and Wilbur Snyder were my favorites. They were the good guys.  Going to pro matches with my dad and grandpa was awesome.  When I was in 5th grade, I wanted to be a pro wrestler.  I thought my cousin and I would become a tag team.

Then a little later, Bobby “The Brain” came along.  He managed The Blackjacks (Mulligan and Lanza) and even though they were bad guys, my allegiance changed.

When we moved to Florida, I didn’t care for pro-wrestling as much.  These guys had a different style.  And I now knew pro-wrestling wasn’t real. But pro wrestlers and those promoting pro wrestling swore it was real – nothing was predetermined.  I stopped watching.  Interestingly enough, I wrestled all through high school.

When my kids were growing up, they took an interest in pro wrestling, so I started watching again with them.  I even took them to live matches. The wrestlers were more spectacular and the sport had never been more popular.  Then it become known and accepted that the matches were pre-determined.  THAT didn’t hurt the sport one bit.  The wrestlers were athletes.  They put on a great show and often suffered injuries to entertain their fans.

And now we get to go behind the curtain.  As I said…

Deal me in.

In an unprecedented turn, WWE takes us behind the scenes – into the writer’s room and the homes of their greatest Superstars – to show the year-round work it takes to execute one of the most secretive shows in the world week over week. And when the curtain falls down, the business of getting a show to air is just as compelling as the Main Event.
