What's On The DVD?
Sean Oliver brings you back in time to the days of Rene Goulet, as he finishes his wrestling career in the ring & gets approached into becoming an agent on the road. Back when he took this job, the WWE was sometimes running up to three separate shows on the road every night, and the company needed a man who they could respect getting to the building early, right through the set-up, opening bell, final call, payoffs, & gate receipts, only to get to the next town hours later and do it all over again & again. How do you handle the no-shows, late arrivals, backstage ribbing, & maybe even the wrestlers in no condition to perform? What do you tell Vince every night when you have to phone in the report? What about the hectic job of running a five-hour TV taping sometimes three days in a row? Considering this travel over 200 dates/year, Rene ultimately shares with you his final notice for working with the WWE & how he reacted to Vince McMahon’s decision to release him from his duties.

The Verdict:
Although kind of short, 80 minutes of backstage information & inner-working stories is plenty enough for me to be satisfied. Once again, Kayfabe Commentaries goes outside the box & stirs up the scenarios when providing their latest work. This is a great listen from a former high-ranking WWE official who has seen plenty.
****
Overall Recommendation:
Without question, a great job by Kayfabe Commentaries. Although not name-calling, Rene was very honest with many of his stories & backstage situations.
****
Final Thoughts: Any fan with a taste for the "inside's of the business" should definitely purchase this DVD to take a listen to & watch.
Overall Rating: 9.0
