20 years ago, NBC endeavored a sort-of reality special from producer Bruce Nash. It hasn't seen the light of day since.
Exposed: Pro Wrestling's Secrets Revealed only explains mostly the basics of how a match is put together. Nothing, really, that smart fans don't already know. Actor-comedian Nick Bakay (Sabrina, The Teenage Witch) narrates.
Considering that NBC's sister network, USA, is the home of WWE programming, and that NBC would do business with WWE again a few years later with the return of Saturday Night's Main Event, the Peacock Network was caught between a rock & a hard place, and hence why this special was never encored.
A & E did a longer documentary on wrestling a year earlier, and that will be a subject at a future time.
Rating: B-.
