WWE: Unreal, the Netflix docuseries that reveals the behind-the-scenes of WWE, has generated a great division among professional wrestling fans. The series has been well received by the general public, but not so much by fans of this sports entertainment, who believe that WWE and Netflix have destroyed the magic that has always surrounded the business.
Of course, there are those who defend the project, pointing out that it is a way to show the world the more human side of the professionals, as well as a good method to bring the business to an audience largely unfamiliar with how a wrestling company operates. One of its great defenders is Maxxine Dupri, who wanted to send a message to all the critics of the docuseries.
"I fell in love with this thanks to Total Divas. So I will always defend to death anything that shows that other side of our business, because personally I enjoy it very much. And I think it's important to consider that, with Unreal, they are filming throughout the year. So they have hours and hours and hours of footage for these six episodes," she said in an interview for Witty Whittier.
"So, even if people think: 'Oh my God, we're seeing too much of this or that,' you're actually only seeing a small part," she continued. "In any case, I don't know why everyone is freaking out. If you don't want to watch something, don't watch it. Don't you have willpower? Or self-control? Goodness, it's incredible. I think it's an amazing show and if you don't like it, just hit 'next'."
On July 21, Netflix premiered the third season of WWE Unreal, focused on John Cena's retirement. In addition to "The Greatest of All Time," this latest batch of episodes also featured talents like CM Punk, AJ Lee, Oba Femi, Lash Legend, and Trick Williams, among others. So far, Netflix has not confirmed a fourth season.
