ESPN and Netflix are partnering on a 10-hour docuseries about Michael Jordan.

Ten hours? Wasn't Made in America only, like, eight?

It's Bryon Russell, there was never an NBA player named Byron Russell even though everyone totally remembers that guy. It's the NBA version of the Berenstein Bears.

oh my sweet summer child, Jordan killed Byron Russell so bad that he had to change his name to minimize the shame he felt.

Wait a minute why aren't they doing that on their own streaming service? Surely it can't be a money thing to have to partner with Netflix.

The only explanation I can think of is for cross-promotional purposes. Give a bit of a taste for the 30 for 30, then make people sign up for ESPN+.

In terms of North American wrestling of the major first run shows on nationwide broadcast or cable

1. WWE Raw
2. WWE Smackdown
3. Ring of Honor TV
4. Impact Wrestling (Formerly TNA Impact)
5. Lucha Underground

would be the order in viewership. Out of all of them people consistently probably like Lucha Underground the most, though we'll see if it holds since the petals have been coming off the rose and their hiatuses keep killing them

Raw and Smackdown haven't been consistently great in a while, at best consistently mediocre these days but it's a habit to a lot of people.

ROH tends to have technically good wrestling, but their TV show is kind of negligible in things mattering

WWE also has 2 other web service shows (205 Live which is a cruiserweight exclusive show and NXT which is their developmental)

Also New Japan can be great if you're into it, but it's a clip show of taped Japanese matches (and some really great matches) but it's also on AXS si it doesnt fr a ton of play.

The new Dorktown's only flaw is that it's too short. You could easily do 30 minutes on Rickey Henderson.

Come to think of it, a 30 for 30 seems like a good idea, too.

I haven't liked wrestling since I was really young (whatever the era was called from like 93-00) but I will watch the living poo poo out of Lucha and New Japan.

Also off topic but sort of on, the Netflix show GLOW was awesome.

well it's kind of a few.

'93 is when WWE starts the New Generation, which was the big youth push that basically ends up as a 4 year pissing contest between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels over who can be #1 in the company, that ultimately ends when Bret gets screwed over in '97 and then Shawn basically ends up not wrestling for a few years because he broke his back shortly after the screw job.

'97 is the Attitude Era when Austin breaks out and basically keeps the company going until he leaves and essentially retires over creative differences

it also kind of encapsulates the Monday Night Wars between WCW and WWE from '95 to '00, when WCW came out of nowhere to be the hottest promotion and then hilariously self-destructed horribly and got killed off by AOL.

finding good luch on US TV sucks, but its there. and I mean actual CMLL Lucha, not the LU product which is more AAA Lucha.
