Didn't see this coming, it's from the team that put out Bloodstained Memoirs in 2009. I was a huge mark for that as they hyped it up really well (I love a good hype job) with interesting blogs and photos on MySpace (remember that) talking about the interviews and setting them up etc. Although I enjoyed it at the time, I'd say the chase was better than the catch looking back with hindsight. It's odd to see the same people who made that go the completely opposite direction in releasing this with no build despite having an incredible line up with Goldberg, Bret Hart, Mike Tyson, Chris Jericho and others.

Just been on the site to buy the film and came across this artwork:    I'll post my thoughts on the film itself later once I watch it. |

Sorry only just got round to watching this tonight as I've been swamped. It's a really good documentary which his highly polished, much better than Bloodstained Memoirs. I think if you put the two of them side by side it's clear they are made by the same person, but you can also tell the filmmaker has gotten better as years have passed and a tonne of effort must have been put into this. There is much more use of archive footage, everything has been scored, it's all just a lot more polished. Pros:- Dynamite Kid going over the Tiger Mask matches.
- Bret Hart talking about British Bulldog Summerslam match.
- Mike Tyson talking about the Shawn Michaels punch.
- RVD talking about hardcore wrestling.
Cons:- Goldberg doesn't talk about wrestling enough
- Nobody wants to hear Chris Jericho talk about his band, but you have to suffer through that before he gets to wrestling talk.
- Randy Couture is pointless to have in this.
