12 Reasons WWE’s Ruthless Aggression Documentary Is An Absolute Mess
9. Monday Sh*te Raw
Ask Bruce Prichard (and they had to with Vince McMahon apparently unavailable or not remotely a*sed about contributing to this pantomime spectacle masquerading as a documentary) and the WCW experiment failed because the talent weren't over, the fans weren't bothered and those two things simply couldn't be addressed.
To the crumb of truth in that sentiment - yes, WWE hadn't procured the full complement of Atlanta headliners and were left to make do with the bulk of the midcard alongside former World Champions Booker T and Diamond Dallas Page.
But how not bothered were the fans again? Well listen to all the boos for that Booker T/Buff Bagwell catastrophe, they were obviously not bothered. Just as they weren't bothered when the mere sight of a logo and a Hugh Morrus moonsault generated the pop of the show a week earlier. Or how the Invasion pay-per-view - 20 days removed from the Booker/Buff Raw stinker - was the most-bought "B" show in company history.
People really, really wanted it to work and we're so not not bothered by how much of a f*ck up that first swing was that they were still emotionally and financially invested in something proper.
Invested in something proper. Like the past...
