It is worth noting that WCW was a sensation when at its peak. Some of the best Superstars in the world were a part of the roster. However, in 2001, Vince McMahon acquired it, which caused criticism from the fans. There is a different explanation from WWE given the the fall of WCW compared to those who were actually a part of the company.

Many feel that the show might not reveal 'Reality' as it involves The Rock in the production. However, Kevin Nash, one of the former WCW Superstars, claimed that the show has the first real take on the issue and not 'WWE Victor's version'. "No, we told our story. Not the WWE Victor's version. This will be the first real take," said Nash.
