12 Reasons WWE’s Ruthless Aggression Documentary Is An Absolute Mess

There's probably going to be a lot of Triple H glorification in the bowels of this docuseries, but the first instance of it was one of the most egregious.
Across footage of Hulk Hogan's 2002 return and his historic WrestleMania X8 confrontation with The Rock, the documentary seemed to suggest that it was mere short-termism compared to the evocative and emotional end to the show as if 'The Game's win over Chris Jericho didn't play out to library silence in an era where the 'Grandaddy Of Em All' still only went four hours.
It was f*cking criminal, in truth. WWE were guilty of leaning in to nostalgia over something more secure and futureproof, and with Hogan, but half of that came explicitly during the era they were profiling for this series.
