10 Times Wrestlers Pulled Back The Curtain

3. WWE 24

WWE's revealing Network miniseries was, for a while at least, the most consistently revelatory programming they'd ever produced, as well as typically earning the most critical acclaim on the WWE Network outside of a Bret Hart playlist.

Every WrestleMania got a special, allowing fans a look at Vince McMahon dropping everything to help The Undertaker following his concussion at the 30th 'Show Of Shows', dropping Kevin Owens like a sack of sh*t after his bland 2017 contest with Chris Jericho, and dropping his strange disconnected ancient face on Becky Lynch's shoulder after she became a double champion.

And that's when he even wants to be filmed! The brusk manner in which he noped cameras shooting Kurt Angle's return to Titan Tower was as telling as any other moment he's ever been near a lens, and he'll barely offer a talking head now unless an Undertaker or Steve Austin type is getting the profile treatment.

24's genius comes from these ever so slight moments of humanity though - from McMahon and his wrestlers. They may not all look like good people, but actual human ones is an almighty step up from the average edition of Raw.
