Also, wrestling isn't wrestling, it is storytelling first and wrestling is just something they do in between.

I think he just discovered that it "isn't real" and wants to let everyone know. I honestly didn't find it as "OMFG THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!" as people make it out to be.
The first two lines are a perfect synopsis of the 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.

The piss was being taken. Clearly someone that takes the time and effort to do something like this is a fan with knowledge of how "things work".
