## Spoilers
### Premise and voice cast
The show's central joke is scale: grown wrestlers rendered as 8- and 9-year-old campers, with their adult personas carried over intact. Green said the writers stayed true to each character, finding what was specific about them and making it applicable; he cited [John Cena](https://www.edgepedia.org/john-cena) as the best example, a kid version of the relentlessly awesome champion whom nobody likes anyway.[1](https://www.wwe.com/shows/camp-wwe/article/interview-seth-green-camp-wwe-network-directing-vince-mcmahon) [Stephanie McMahon](https://www.edgepedia.org/stephanie-mcmahon) and [Triple H](https://www.edgepedia.org/triple-h) appear as 15-year-old camp counselors, while Ric Flair and Sgt. Slaughter act as camp supervisors.[7](https://radaronline.com/videos/go-behind-the-scenes-of-wwe-seth-greens-new-series-camp-wwe/)
**Casting split into two groups.** The child Superstars were played by voice actors, while the adults, mostly non-wrestlers and retired legends such as Vince McMahon, Sgt. Slaughter, and [Ric Flair](https://www.edgepedia.org/ric-flair), voiced themselves.[8](https://itrwrestling.com/features/7-animated-wrestling-spin-offs/) McMahon's participation in particular changed the kind of content the writers produced; Green described him as an expert performer of more than 30 years who needed little direction in the booth.[1](https://www.wwe.com/shows/camp-wwe/article/interview-seth-green-camp-wwe-network-directing-vince-mcmahon) The voice cast included Ashley Bornancin as John Cena and The Rock, Aly Fainbarg as [Stone Cold Steve Austin](https://www.edgepedia.org/stone-cold-steve-austin), the Bella twins, Stephanie McMahon, and Paige, David Michael Brown as [The Undertaker](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-undertaker) and Triple H, Evan Michael Lee as Mark Henry, and Xander Mobus as The Ultimate Warrior.[2](https://www.thetvdb.com/series/camp-wwe)
## Origin and development
The project was first announced on November 4, 2013, as a co-financing and co-production agreement between [WWE Studios](https://www.edgepedia.org/wwe-studios) and Film Roman, the animation studio behind "The Simpsons" and "King of the Hill." The plan called for up to thirteen three-minute webisodes scripted by Mike Benson of "Entourage" and "The Bernie Mac Show," with McMahon cast as "the most terrifying counselor who ever lived."[6](https://www.wrestlezone.com/news/429055-press-release-wwe-studios-developing-new-camp-wwe-web-series-w-simpsons-animators)
By 2015 the series had been reworked with [Seth Green](https://www.edgepedia.org/seth-green) and Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, the studio Green co-owns that produces "Robot Chicken." It appeared among eight original shows WWE Network announced for 2015 as a short-form series.[3](https://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/seth-green-and-stoopid-buddy-stoodios-take-on-wwe-111013.html) According to Green, the concept was Vince McMahon's own idea, something he had wanted to make for a while; after Green hosted the 2014 Slammy Awards, WWE approached his studio with the premise of McMahon as camp director, Superstars as campers, and WWE Legends as activities directors.[1](https://www.wwe.com/shows/camp-wwe/article/interview-seth-green-camp-wwe-network-directing-vince-mcmahon) Green brought in Aaron Blitzstein, his colleague from "Family Guy," as showrunner; the two sat down and, knowing the show would be TV-MA, generated ideas for what fans had always wanted but could never get.[4](https://www.wwe.com/shows/camp-wwe/article/interview-aaron-blitzstein-camp-wwe-network)
## Tone and content
WWE Network's first adult-oriented animated series carried a TV-MA rating, and both WWE and the production team leaned into it. Green placed the show's level alongside "Archer" and "South Park," saying the writers applied that degree of intellectual observation to the WWE universe.[1](https://www.wwe.com/shows/camp-wwe/article/interview-seth-green-camp-wwe-network-directing-vince-mcmahon) Blitzstein said WWE constantly encouraged the team to go for it, but that the writers did not want to be lewd for its own sake; they wanted the crude moments earned.[4](https://www.wwe.com/shows/camp-wwe/article/interview-aaron-blitzstein-camp-wwe-network) The premise freed the performers, Green argued, because animation does not connect the joke to the performer the way on-camera work does; in the record booth they could be funny, silly, weird, dirty, or mean as far as they wanted.[1](https://www.wwe.com/shows/camp-wwe/article/interview-seth-green-camp-wwe-network-directing-vince-mcmahon)
Storylines explored what-if territory unavailable in regular WWE programming, such as what would happen if John Cena decided to be bad one day.[4](https://www.wwe.com/shows/camp-wwe/article/interview-aaron-blitzstein-camp-wwe-network) A retrospective on wrestling animation highlighted a sex-crazed Ric Flair performing impromptu pole dances, including toward a bear, as an element that was hilarious at the time but has not aged well.[8](https://itrwrestling.com/features/7-animated-wrestling-spin-offs/)
## Broadcast and availability
Season one aired in May 2016. Season two premiered on demand on Sunday, May 6, 2018, at noon ET, opening with the episode "A Tale of Two Cenas," in which John Cena wishes upon a star for help while [Big Show](https://www.edgepedia.org/big-show) discovers he and Vince McMahon share an embarrassing secret.[9](https://www.wrestlezone.com/news/949415-press-release-camp-wwe-season-two-premieres-wwe-network-sunday) TheTVDB lists the season as running from May to June 2018, with the final episode on June 3, 2018.[2](https://www.thetvdb.com/series/camp-wwe)
The series is no longer easy to see. As of the most recent checks, Camp WWE is not available for streaming in the United States; [JustWatch](https://www.edgepedia.org/justwatch) found it available in only one other country, Australia, on Foxtel Now.[5](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/camp-wwe)
## Reception and context
On IMDb the series holds a 6.4/10 rating from 565 users.[5](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/camp-wwe) A retrospective assessment called the show "very hit and miss, but when it did hit it was genuinely funny," crediting the self-voiced adults, and McMahon in particular, with most of the laughs.[8](https://itrwrestling.com/features/7-animated-wrestling-spin-offs/) A USA Network survey of WWE streaming content described it as an adult-oriented, raunchy animated comedy on the opposite end of the wholesomeness spectrum from shows like "Ride Along."[10](https://www.usanetwork.com/usa-insider/peacock-wwe-streaming-shows)
Camp WWE sits in a lineage of WWE animation. WWE Network also re-aired the kid-friendly 1980s series "Hulk Hogan's Rock 'N' Wrestling," and the network's other animated venture, "WWE Story Time," ran to four seasons from 2016, making it the most successful WWE animated series by longevity and season count.[3](https://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/seth-green-and-stoopid-buddy-stoodios-take-on-wwe-111013.html) • [8](https://itrwrestling.com/features/7-animated-wrestling-spin-offs/) Green's own WWE history preceded the show: he guest hosted Raw in 2010, appearing in the ring during a six-man tag team match, and Stoopid Buddy Stoodios produced the short-form series "WWE Slam City" for WWE Network.[3](https://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/seth-green-and-stoopid-buddy-stoodios-take-on-wwe-111013.html)
