Season 2 of ‘Ruthless Aggression’ Series Goes Behind the Scenes of WWE’s post–‘Attitude Era’

The second season of the WWE-produced Ruthless Aggression series will debut this weekend, premiering with the first episode immediately following the Survivor Series on Sunday.

The first episode, “Hollywood Rock,” gives WWE’s portrayal of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s run with the company in 2001 and 2002 before transitioning full-time into acting. There is no new interview or insight from Johnson, which hurts the episode—and while one possible solution would be to have Vince McMahon share his feelings on The Rock’s run, viewers never get that, either. But for fans of The Rock, there is still plenty to enjoy, even if WWE did try to play up the narrative that the fans were booing Johnson more significantly than ever before.
