Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGrecka. Let me remind you that podswag.com slash bust it open is having a big thirty-five percent off sale on all busted open podcast merchandise. So go to podswag.com slash bust it open. And on today's episode, myself and Tommy Dreamer talk about WWE Unreal on Netflix, episode one. And we break it all down right now on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. You always hear it and it's so true. Adapt or die. Uh this is a new um this is a new era in pro wrestling. This listen Every wrestling fan for the most part and Tommy knows that Pro wrestling is predetermined. When we started f watching wrestling, we didn't know that. You know, the whole op the whole plan was to make you believe everything that you saw on your TV and in the arena was genuine.
That's not it. Though you can still fool people and you can still have the magic. And and you don't have to peel back the curtain for everything. Like unreal. Is everything we're watching on real a hundred percent genuine and real? I don't know. I don't know, like are those are those conversations in the writer's room? Is d are those real conversations in the writer's room or is there a director saying, All right guys, let's have let's let's pretend to have this conversation? I don't know. I don't know, said Right?
Uh correct. You also don't know what gets edited, what uh Exactly. And it's hey, if something happens we see this narrative and this is where this narrative takes us to.
Okay. I it it and and that's the biggest thing, it's a narrative. That's why like There are certain things that are said that kinda make me cringe and we'll get into it. But I also feel like those things are almost unnecessary. Like the like you said. showing Seth and Becky and the fact that they have a child and how difficult it is for Becky, you know, after being off a period of time. To go back to work and be separated from her child and how difficult that is on the child and on her, and her saying, Hey, this is gonna be my last contract, because you know, I I have other things that I want to do with my life. Like that alone gets me more invested in Becky Lynch, knowing the sacrifices that she's making for us, the fans, and also for the love of
Yeah. I don't think you n I don't think you necessarily have to throw in those things. that they do to kind of expose the business because I don't know how many people are actually watching it for that. There probably are some. But I feel like that human connection Like in season one with Charlotte. I I look at Charlotte a completely different way, knowing the struggles that she had. To get back into the ring for the fans. And I think that changed the attitude of the fans on Charlotte because they saw the struggle that she had to go through.
I was just gonna say if there's any th body that I felt helped, um from Unreal to then a different character arc was Charlotte, 'cause you got to see I know Charlotte, um You know Charlotte. She is an outgoing person. She's a fun person. She's come on this show and shared things that she hasn't shared publicly. And then she gets emotional. She also like We know her story through, you know, but like every time I see Charlotte, nothing but smiles, happiness, and like talking about stuff. Um outside of wrestling and you got to see that side where she's in the ring joking with, you know, the guys, and then you see this whole new character art that she has and a different presence, which does help you. It it almost humanized the queen.
And you know, back to this Becky thing, like you saw Becky Hey, I just took my first bump. Wow. How's your back up? My back season up on me. These are all real things when you're trying to get back to that grind. And then you're watching the match that she just had. Uh or from me, I watched. you and I spoke. I went from watching Raw to watching her and Maxine in her hometown to then you and I talking to then Uh, hey, let's talk about Unreal today. And I was like, Okay, cool, I'll watch the f first episode.
