The holy grail of what a wrestling documentary should be.
1 of 1 found this helpful This is one of the best wrestling DVDs I have seen in awhile. It contains many classic matches of Mick Foley (as Cactus Jack), as well as Rey Mysterio vs Psychosis. You get a good idea of the history of the company when it was Eastern Championship Wrestling, and get an idea of why it fell apart.
Some parts of this are not for the faint of heart. There are some very bloody matches, as well as a one where Sabu gets a pretty major injury during a match, tapes himself up, and continues wrestling!
I would definitely recommend this DVD to any wrestling fan that watched during the 90s, and I think that anyone curious about how wrestling in the 90s was (and have it written from the perspective of a smaller third company not totally involved in the monday night wars... even though the comments had to be approved by the lawyers of the winner of the monday night wars... come on WWE, you know we can see through some of it).
Compared to other wrestling DVDs, this is almost a holy grail of what a wrestling documentary should be. It was honest where it needed to be, and when the lawyers had to censor anything, the wresters and Paul Heyman did their best to make it understandable to the common fan (not a crazy Mark that thinks they know everything).
I'd say that this is a DVD that you could watch with someone that doesn't really follow wrestling, and they'd still be interested. I highly recommend anyone to watch it.
