I like the wrestling shows but this is getting too much.

Then there will be a dark side of basketball and baseball.

I don't think diva WRs is comparable in tragedy compared to the wrestling stories.

Timber

Ray Carruth?

We've already had crime shows about that case. It didn't really have much to do with the NFL either other than he was a player.

I like football more than wrestling but this show is unnecessary.

Football gets 24/7 media coverage on TV, radio, print, and the web and you know all or most of what they are covering.

Wrestling is different where people followed it for a certain period of time and lost touch of what happened and want to know where are they now and most of the wrestling behind the scenes stuff only the diehards probably know.

It's an interesting idea for a spinoff but I wonder exactly what topics will they actually cover that isn't already known?

I wasn't wowed by the episode focusing on Chad Johnson. Like it has been mentioned, the NFL already gets a ton of media coverage.

DSotR works because there are so many stories to cover, the loose structure of wrestling, especially pre-80's has so many insane stories, so many colorful characters, and all of it has been largely ignored by the rest of the world. Football is extensively covered. Hopefully they'll come up with compelling content, but obvious targets like the XFL, USFL, CTE, Ray Rice, Aaron Hernandez, have been extensively covered by ESPN.

Bill Needle

I agree. I started ff’ing half way through. I at least watched the Belichick episode all the way through but was not impressed. I doubt I’ll watch any more of these.

The Bill Belichik episode seems to be all about the haters.
