An interesting insight into the world of professional wrestling.
Great look into the horrors of wrestling. Sad, and at times depressing, but you can never look away. Definitely worth a watch.
A no punches pulled look behind the scenes of pro wrestling. You’ll love the wrestlers and resent the amoral promoters who exploit them.
One of the best documentaries ever made. Not just a wrestling documentary but a great documentary in general.
One of the greatest wrestling documentaries of all time
A deep dive into the Montreal screw job and more when wrestling was at its peak of popularity
One of the first documentaries I can remember that gave you a raw, unadulterated glimpse into a genre mired in secrecy, aka pro-wrasslin’
Great documentary even if you’re not a fan of wrestling. It’s a very human look at the athlete behind the character.
When I first saw this, I was amazed at how far Jake Roberts had fallen. Watch this and The Resurrection Of Jake The Snake back to back.
Amazing documentary about the sad and glorious sides of wrestling
