Super Eyepatch Wolf has done at least three of these. But this one is especially good because it covers one of the best storylines in pro wrestling right now, and how it probably exists because of several massive screw-ups in trying to make a star out of its centerpiece, Roman Reigns. It's pretty well done and aside from a couple of weird omissions does an excellent job of laying this out on an emotional level. It stops a few months short (it has progressed SIGNIFICANTLY since the point this leaves off) but it's a great primer.

Such a good video
I wish I could get into something like pro wrestling but it sucks that I have to watch all the boring bits just to get any juicy story or good matches. Its really hard to get into with my braine
I can dig that, sometimes I just check out on this stuff.
That said, you've got some options.
Frankly, at least, with this story, most of the juicy stuff is on YouTube (just about all the major promos of the Bloodline are actually in a Playlist), and at least when it comes to WWE, they tend to do recaps of the story before a match, if you watch one of their PPVs. You really don't need to watch a whole show to be caught up these days.
Though my preferred way of watching wrestling usually involves doing so in a group, entertaining each other during lulls.

as a big Zayniac, I'm glad SEPW focused on Stevie as the "less good" gimmick and not "Big Larry," his character where he just pretended to be a Black man (although knowing he did that also puts El Generico into context)
...I understand you probably aren't, but I almost thought you were making this up at first 😆
