The only thing that bothers me is that these were filmed early 2018 and are being released early/mid 2019....I havent seen anything where they have said they were making more but assuming they do, looking at the same time frame, we'd be looking at mid-late 2020 for a second season

That's why snickers pressured wwe into not naming a battle royal after her. |

I hope there is a season 2. Maybe one episode can be about the death of ecw. While I'd watch it regardless, I'm okay with this series steering clear of topics that have been covered to DEATH already which is why I was least interested in the Screwjob episode. The deaths of WCW and ECW have been told a million times. Hopefully, the bulk of the content stays with lesser known legends and more obscure subject matter. Very much looking forward to the Gino Hernandez and Moolah episodes. |

Things like the Death of ECW, or WCW, or WCCW, or AWA isn't needed. I like the stories on an individual(s) instead of an organization.
The Gino Hernandez story was great. I already knew 90% of it from an old WCCW documentary that was released back in 2009 I wanna say. It was a documentary on WCCW before the WWE released their version.
If I had to pick other stories on wrestlers, I think the big one that I would love to see is Chris Benoit.
I would also love to hear the story on Adrian Adonis with how he died in the car crash in 1988, I believe it was a week or so before Brody died.

Didn’t really care for the Gino episode. There was nothing wrong with it but I didn’t really know much about him. I would like an Owen one though. That could be a good one. I really hope there is a season 2

I'm sure Martha wouldn't approve, it would make light of such a tragedy. But I would hope they did one and could convince her to approve so WWE could get their comeuppance for his death. I personally think Martha Hart should own WWF after Owen's death. When will WWE learn they are not a movie company, not a production company and have no business putting on stunts like that, even if he hadn't died. A case could be made for WCW doing the Sting stunt because, unlike WWF, WCW was owned by a billionaire who at least dabbled in the production and movie and entertainment business and probably knew the right people to make the Sting stunt work and not be as dangerous. I'm sure the Blue Blazer stunt was intended to do nothing more than embarrass Owen Hart and if it had gone alright, Vince McMahon would be in the back doing his "har har har har" laugh knowing he put Owen in a dangerous position and made him look like a fool doing the stunt as the Blue Blazer.

Would they even need Martha's approval?

I think she might. The WWE can use Owen footage on the network because he’s part of their video library and they had won that right in the lawsuit. But for someone to make a documentary about Owen I think the family (Martha) would need to sign off on it.

I really like the topics the director is tackling in each episode but I can do without the tacky blurred wrestler recreation b-rolls. Good on them for the casting and costumes, but it takes away from the story for me.

If Vince McMahon was a normal human being of a boss then he wouldn't have given Owen a storyline to go against his marriage, Owen wouldn't be in the position to turn down the storyline and eventually accept the Blazer gimmick/stunt knowing that he previously turned down his boss and would have to accept the storyline as not to disappoint his horrible human being of a boss. Vince McMahon is the same man who approved and probably enjoyed the hell out of the Katie Vick story. Just a sick man in my opinion no matter if it's approving a sick angle, or allowing Bradshaw to harass staff members or firing a man based on disability (JR) and continuing for many years to humiliate that man on TV. |

I really hope there is a season 2 Gino was a great episode, has the murder/suicide controversy that fits the theme of these shows . There is no theories that Owen was targeted just a terrible accident. |
