Excellent analysis of one great aspect of professional wrestling.

Not really much else to say, Max Landis has analysed the character of Triple H in such a way that anyone, wrestling fan or not, could understand. Wrestling Isn't Wrestling shows the progression from HHH's career beginnings as the Connecticut Blueblood, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and progressing through DX, evil DX, Evolution, his final years as a full-time wrestler and now, in the Authority. The representations of all male wrestlers as females (and Chyna as a male) is one of the things that makes Wrestling Isn't Wrestling unique. Overall I really enjoyed it, as did my friends, most of whom aren't wrestling fans. Definitely worth a watch.

Tears at the End

I have probably watched this 30 times. It is my favorite video on YouTube. The ending is magnificent...I cry every time, I can't help it. LOL. I tell myself I won't and I do anyway. The ending monologue by Max Landis is pure magic as he breaks down what storytelling really is at its core whether you are a fan of wrestling or a fan of stories in general this mainly female cast of male characters will make you laugh make, you cry and make you appreciate the brilliance of great Professional wrestling storytelling.

Chloe Dykstra kills it as "The Game", Triple H, in an epic tale of pride, ego, failure, redemption and human nature in its rawest form.

"...the story goes on."

Awesome 25min no matter if you're interesting in Wrestling or not...

...as almost everything written by Max Landis this is brilliant on many levels. And fun to watch. Even if you're a chick. Simply just watch it for the great voice overs and acting. Keep more coming, Max, especially full lenght features - so much crap released every month, please more Landis stuff!

The best movie about wrestling I've seen.

This was great. I thought the style of narration was unique, the skits were terrific and Landis' summaries of the various eras of HHH were laser accurate.

I also thought that the actors did a pretty creditable job of portraying the Wrestlers (particularly The Rock, Stone Cold and Sean Michaels.

There is *so* much good here if you are already a fan of wrestling, and I'm told it's pretty great even if you are not. Landis' enthusiasm for the medium shines.

I really valued when he admitted that "yes, a lot of wrestling is crap" (because that's pretty inarguable), but he followed it with the equally true "But when it's good, it's f***ing *great*" I have to agree.

Citazioni
[Caption: When you say "I love pro wrestling," the response is inevitably...]
Non-Fan: You do know it's fake, right?
[Caption: To which I say...]
Max Landis: More real than any other TV show. WWE Raw features live death-defying stunts performed in front of an audience of thousands every week. People who feel the need to tell you that wrestling isn't real clearly don't watch wrestling because the show features an undead wizard...
[Caption: not kidding]
Max Landis: Leprechauns.
[Caption: not kidding]
Max Landis: An evil group of male cheerleaders.
[Caption: not fucking kidding]
Max Landis: This show does not pretend to be an athletic competition. Instead, it's a TV show about a wrestling show. It has more in common with Game of Thrones than it does with UFC. And if you follow one character, all the way through, you can see that this format allows the telling of interesting, diverse, and compelling stories. And there's no better place to start than with... probably my favorite wrestler. Triple H.
