WWE Unreal OTT release date: When and where to watch the controversial documentary series narrated by Triple H
WWE Unreal: Who is involved?
Triple H, the company's Chief Content Officer, will be the centre of attention of this documentary. The show will highlight The Game's interactions with writers and talent ahead of WrestleMania 41. It will also highlight his plans for advancing major storylines on the road to 'The Showcase of the Immortals'. Moreover, Triple H will serve as the narrator of the series.
In the announcement teaser, he was seen telling Jey Uso that WWE wanted to push him heavily. This suggests that the 'Yeet Master', who beat Gunther for the World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania 41, will be part of the Show. The likes of Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and Rhea Ripley too will make appearances in WWE Unreal. Additionally, Xavier Woods and Bianca Belair will be part of WWE Unreal.
WWE Unreal consists of five 50-minute episodes. They are titled New Era', 'Push', 'Worth the Wait', 'Heel Turn', and 'WrestleMania'.
WWE Unreal has landed in a controversy, here's why
Kayfabe (the art of projecting pro wrestling as a legit sport and not a scripted one) has long been the backbone of the industry. However, WWE Unreal shatters the illusion by taking the audience into the writers' room. This hasn't gone down well with key figures in the business. Jake 'The Snake' Roberts recently described WWE Unreal as a 'foolish' endevour,
'I think it's foolish. I don't think that product will ever warrant enough money being made for the damage that it'll do. So that's just my own thoughts,' he said on his Snake Pit Podcast
However, former WWE star Ryback defended it and said it would help fans and dirt sheets understand the business. 'I truly believe WWE: Unreal is one of the best things for wrestling and wrestlers. This is physical acting, the hardest thing in the world. We play roles and it takes all of us. No one really wins or loses. It's time fans and dirt sheets stop the hate and understand what this is,' read a part of this post on X (formerly known as Twitter)
WWE Unreal is set to premiere on Netflix on July 29

‘Imran Khan had 3,000 girls waiting for him': Vir Das recalls Delhi Belly shoot, the moment where he almost hung himself
It's been 14 years since Bollywood's most twisted, out-of-the-box, downright diabolical comedy, Delhi Belly, was released in the theatres. The story, its treatment, the characters, and the music were all revolutionary, and the film has now gained cult classic status. Comedian Vir Das, who is still basking in the glory of his recent Netflix special, recently sat down with director Abhinay Deo and writer Akshat Verma to discuss the film and break down some of its most iconic scenes, while also discussing some anecdotes about producer Aamir Khan. The trio sat down to discuss the hilarious apartment scene with Vijay Raaz, but before they could get to that, Vir talked about how working with Imran Khan was quite a unique experience due to the fact that his fame had broken the stratosphere after starring in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. He said, 'He had just done Jaane Tu, and everywhere we would go to shoot the film, there would be at least 3000 girls waiting to see him. We used to share the same vanity van, so the door would open and I would come out with my bald head, and all the cheers would suddenly subdue.' They even played some behind-the-scenes shots of Imran walking towards the set with hordes of people following him. ALSO READ: Aamir Khan attributes son Junaid's grounded mindset to his upbringing: 'Woh train se jaata hai, gaadi ki zaroorat mehsoos hi nahi karta' They finally moved to the apartment scene, and director Deo revealed something quite interesting and potentially dangerous about shooting that particular sequence. They pause at the frame where Vir can be seen hung from the ceiling with a tie, as he tries to keep his balance on a long-legged stool. Deo said that this scene could have been very problematic for Vir, as during the initial few shots, he wasn't wearing any harness. 'So I pointed this out, that during the first scenes you aren't wearing a harness. If you had lost your balance or Vijay had somehow hit the stool, well, that would have been quite a problem,' to which Vir said, 'Well, I would have hung myself, and then all of you could have just said sorry.' The three men proceed to laugh it off as Verma revealed that the film was slowly getting out of their hand financially. 'I just remember that we weren't finding a nice room for the hotel sequence, and then suddenly Aamir was like, No problem, we'll just construct it. Then later when we weren't able to find an apartment, Aamir said that we'll construct that too. I just asked, 'Aren't our expenses increasing by too much? Where is the budget for all this? Aamir just looked at me confused, and from his expressions I could tell that he was thinking, 'Who is this poor man on my set?''

What Hulk Hogan meant for Indians, and America in India
Around 1993-94, a six-year-old was hanging on for dear life onto the railing with one hand and the other clutching his mother lest he fall out the door of one of Delhi's once-infamous Red Line buses. Terrified, but unwilling to show it, the boy shouted, 'Hulk Hogan ki yahi pehchan, peeli kacche, phati banyaan'. Everyone in earshot, including the driver and conductor, burst out laughing and soon, the kid had pride of place – sitting on the large covering over the gear stick, next to the driver. Hulk Hogan (the stage name Terry Bollea was known by), who died on July 24 at the age of 71, likely didn't realise the impact he – and the WWF, later WWE – had on a country that had just been opened up to the American. But for a generation, particularly the boys among them, wrestling was our soap opera and our cultural context. It shaped how we saw the US in much the way Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan moulded our view of mythology. And America was, at least back then, a mythical place. Liberalisation – both in terms of how it pushed up upper-middle-class incomes and impacted culture – didn't truly hit till the 2000s. In the early '90s, most of us were much more 'local', still struggling to be part of the flattening of culture that shows like Friends and Seinfeld would later bring about. Today, Americanisms are a part of the vocabulary for most Indian English speakers. 'My bad' (instead of my fault) and 'I'm good' (not as a moral assessment but to say 'I am well') are thrown about without a thought for the poor English teacher who taught us the basics of grammar. It wasn't so when Hulkamania – and Bret Hart, The Undertaker, Lex Luger, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon and Yokozuna – came into the lives of today's millennials. Nonsense rhymes like the one uttered on the bus were the most common form of comedy: 'Yokozuna went to Poona, eating Choona' or 'Undertaker, ice cream maker', etc. WWF Trump cards were the card game of choice, and recreating wrestling matches was practically a sport. The first 'fancy' birthday parties were wrestling-themed – with masks and championship belts. The first designer cakes were shaped like wrestlers. As the kids grew up, WWF-WWE kept up. The risque 'attitude era' meant boys kept imitating Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H – giving the middle finger and the 's***k it' gesture. It was dangerous, feeding the proto-adolescent's desire for risk-taking and masculine assertion. Wrestling – and most of all Hulk Hogan – clearly had a deep cultural impact. And this impact became a weapon for the assertion of American soft power and propaganda. Hogan, 'a good guy' for much of his career (he did 'turn heel' and become 'Hollywood Hogan' for a while), was the first global wrestling superstar. And he was an all-American hero. His nemesis was the Iron Sheik (an evil, conniving character from West Asia). His theme song was 'I am a Real American' and justified military intervention in the name 'fighting for the rights of every man'. And we swallowed it all up, as kids, without knowing better. Blond American, good guy. Brown and Black, not as much. Through soap-opera plots, Hulk and the WWF kept us hooked. Wrestling today no longer pretends to be 'real'; it has many more stars and looks way more slick. In deference to the Indian market, it made superstars of the Great Khali and Jinder Mahal. Hulk Hogan had his share of controversies, a reality show and something of a sordid personal life. But for those who idolised him when they were five, who remembered the rhyme about his costume when hanging out of the door of a bus, there will always be a soft spot for Hulkamania.
