Just finished watching the full 2001-2006 on the network, over the past couple years I’ve been grinding it. I can’t wait to see this now!

You take Rock and Austin out of the attitude era and you have a bunch of midcarders at best. Mick Foley, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, they're all midcarders are they? A huge chunk of the Ruthless Aggression eras Main Event talent were those 'midcarders' of the Attitude Era. The above plus Triple H, Edge, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Kane. Over half of the people who Main Evented Wrestlemania's during the RA era were around during the Attitude Era. Both had some great talent, both had an awful lot of trash too. Both had some moments of inspired booking, and an awful lot of terrible booking. You could easily make a case for either being better, but it's just wrong to make out that Rock and Austin were the only major positives of the Attitude Era.

Episode 1 is up. Quite a decent watch but nothing we haven’t seen or known about before.

Just got done watching the first episode - some interesting tidbits in there, but nothing we didn't know already. Looks like the next episode will be about Cena.

Pretty good first episode. Interesting to hear Austins take on the proposed match with Lesnar, I've never heard him comment on it before. Besides that though, not much we didn't know as a few have said. Looking forward to where it goes next though.

He’s been quite vocal about it on his podcast and IIRC the clip they showed is from his biographical DVD which was released in 2013 (I think) that’s also available on the WWE Network (a worth watch IMO). I think he spoke about it in his 2003 DVD “The Stone Cold Truth” too.

The 1st episode was enjoyable, i was happily surprised Brian Gewirtz was interviewed. I believe this was one of the first times he's appeared in a wwe documentary as a talking head.

Was I the only one that noticed when they we’re talking about bad over the top storylines, they showed mostly ones that happened DURING the RA era? Also wonder how they’ll gloss over the Katie Vick storyline and the complete Scott Steiner vs Triple H feud. Cause those were the worst.

Episode 2 is up. A really interesting look at Cena's rise to the top, and how he feels about it all.

It's funny how they glossed over the whole WWF/WWE name change.

So is that it for episodes? Five just seems like a missed opportunity to me. I need episodes on the IC title picture, Jericho, HBK's return, Undertaker, Kane, King Booker, ECW, Smackdown six (well, five?), and so so so many others.

Can’t stand Michael Rapaport. The narrator? There’s something really annoying about his voice. I thought they covered it quite abit at the end of Episode 1? They implied that Vince decided WWF was in need of a change. They never said anything about the World Wildlife Fund lawsuit. Even when Vince loses, he still rewrites history lmao.

I am not a fan of this revisionist history, I must say! lol
I also don't like Prichard has a "It wasn't our fault" attitude about everything and that is getting on my nerves.

One of the top two eras of professional wrestling history. Bless up. The 80s and attitude era say hello!
