Tagline: It’s More Real Than You Think
The Plot…
WWE Unreal gives fans unprecedented access behind-the-scenes at how professional wrestling works. Cameras are allowed into the writers’ room as the executives on the creative team prepare for the WWE Netflix premiere and events leading up to Wrestlemania 41.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
When I was a kid everyone involved in professional wrestling worked to make sure that it was thought of as “real”. Then in 1989, Vince McMahon announced professional wrestling wasn’t a legitimate sport, but instead was sports entertainment. The bumps and injuries are real, but the match outcomes are predetermined. Pro wrestling fans didn’t care.
I haven’t watched pro wrestling in years, but I was interested in the behind-the-scenes access. I wasn’t disappointed. In fact, WWE Unreal got me interested in watching again.
