Or if I did miss the "OMFG" moment of the video, please put the explanation into easy words for my simple mind to interpret.
Thanks! |

It was kinda cool at the start, by the end it was just a tad bit annoying. Not the worst thing I've watched by a long shot, but wasn't a masterpiece either.

I think they didn't do enough with Triple H and Daniel Bryan. If the point of it was to point out Triple H is Daniel Bryan (a B+ Player) there was little payout.

This feels like it could have been done as a blogpost essay but because the guy has a famous father (John Landis) so he can get famous people to be in his vid.

That last part? I didn't get that at all. I got the feeling of a guy who likes wrestling, still has after all these years, even though he KNOWS it "isn't real", and here's why he doesn't give a fuck and still watches, even though he gets looked at funny by non-fan casual masses. On the surface, it sounds like he's shitting all over Hunter... but he started the video saying this was his favorite character. And why would you bother the effort in casting Circe Lannister simply to justify that GoT line at the start, or get former WCW champion David Arquette to ask "the stinging question", or even throw in a Shockmaster joke (which I'm still sad to say I had originally missed after x ammount of times watching this) if he hated wrestling or suddenly got smarten'd up yesterday? He took what little kayfabe is left and strung that into beautiful summary of Hunter's WWE onscreen career. And projects like this have a turnaround time, which is likely why the stuff with DB and HHH is so short... it likely had kinda just happened and throwing in other stuff like The Shield would have taken away from the story being about Triple H. Seriously, I hope he does more in a similar style. |

It's a very well made video that uses hot chicks to re-enact the story of Triple H's character from blue blood to now in more of a general entertainment setting without the wrestling. It also makes a lot of links from one part of his character to the next seem more thought out than they were and makes it seem like there was all an elaborate plan 20 years ago , which is kinda cool.

This was a pretty good take. I don't think it was supposed to be taken THAT seriously. It's a fan saying why he's a fan. Everybody has a different reason of why they are. It came off as a college project.
Look at it as visual/media art. You don't have to like it, but try to appreciate it. |

Subtleties are abound, like the parody of the "Higher Brain Pattern/My Time" era HHH entrance (not the song with the champange popping) and the back of the jacket says "I'M THE BEST SO FUCK YOU!" only to be met with the chorus of boos and escalated jeering. It was basically a throwaway musical cue, but still got the point across. Kane would be ASTRONOMICAL! Doesn't even need to cover Isaac Yankem, D.D.S. or anything other than his WWE lore as Kane. |

Its great, its a real fan explaining why he loves wrestling and using the Triple H character to show how massive a story it is capable of telling.
Loved it |

Yeah, I think he was honestly just nerding out and having fun over how silly and fantastical wrestling can be if you just try and enjoy it.

It's a catch 22 Tho... We want to enjoy it, but we can't because it's not a good as we think it could be. It may be because we want to see something new, or perhaps we don't like the fact that the show is PG and consider WWE a sell out.
I think the majority of us would like to see better storylines and meaningful matches across the board. |

I enjoyed it. I thought it did a great job of communicating why fans connect with 'wrestling'. The final argument at the end is one that all of us here make while defending this 'sport' or 'theatrical artistic combat' that we love.
He could have chosen any other character to make up the meat and potatoes of the video, but the core message, or flavour wouldn't change. |

Makes sense. They wouldn't allow audience members to dress up like wrestlers. I can see how a silly, fun video explaining why wrestling is great would trigger Vince's "uptight shithead"-ness.

Well WWE isn't wrestling anymore, remember? They do everything they can to be recognized as some multimedia conglomerate, and not as a wrestling promotion.
Despite the fact that 90% of their entertainment is wrestling. |

Too late to change shithead-ness now. It auto finishes!
The basement-dwelling neckbeard smark in me wonders what various people in the industry think about it. For example, if i had to guess based on nothing (which is exactly what I am going to do), Hunter seems like he'd be upset about it on heresay, but then, after actually watching the vid, getting laugh out of it. Chyna, on the other hand, being cast as a somewhat effeminate man would likely be some kind of rage trigger in spite of just about everyone in the storyline being gender bent. Except Steph and Vince. Like, who thinks Shawn pole dancing was hilarious? Who thought the bit with Ric Flair barging in the hotel room chugging a bottle of Jack was disrespectful? Suckas gots ta know!* *Suckas don't really gots ta know. Just be a decent bit of trivia. I just wanted to throw that Stevie Ray bit in on a whim, so there was an excuse to do so.
