Just heard about this Documentary. I've seen the cover but never really payed it any mind. Alright so just curious has anyone seen this? How good was it and what was it like?
Also, how did it portray the Montreal Screwjob?

It's excellent. Definitely check it out.
It shows actual footage (some of it never seen anywhere except in Wrestling with Shadows) from the months leading up to the Screwjob, from the night of the Screwjob, and the aftermath. Backstage footage, Bret at home, etc. Really interesting stuff.
Obviously the documentary is sympathetic to Bret Hart's side of the story, regarding Montreal and what led to the screwjob. But it's not blatant enough to ruin the viewing experience. Watch it for what it is... Bret's side of the story, with some really awesome footage.

Thanks man I'm definitely thinking about checking this out. Is it similar to his book as well? |

Yup agreed - its a must watch. I was sooo surprised to see them being allowed to film footage of the screwjob aftermath. Bret's wife grilling HHH who "swore to God" he had no idea about the match finish - even though after all these years we know HBK & HHH were both informed of the finish.

Its a hell of an awesome documentary. One of the best I've ever seen. I don't think there will ever be a better wrestling documentary or one that can ever even come close to matching it.
Apparently they came out with a special "10th Anniversary Collectors Edition" which includes a dvd called "The Life and Death of Owen Hart". There is also a new interview with Bret regarding the whole thing of course.
After watching this preview I am definitely considering making a purchase.

It's excellent. I taped it when it first came out and appeare on A&E. It's one-sided of course, but in-depth and extremely interesting. I definitely suggest checking it out.

it used to be on youtube to watch not sure if it still is but its really really good. shows how loyal bret was to wwf in the day and such. also shows vince stumbling out of the dressing room after bret laid him out.

The shot of Vince McMahon stumbling out of the locker room after Bret knocked him out is must-see material, but the documentary itself is actually very interesting and a unique perspective of the months prior to and shortly after the Montreal Screwjob, as well as the day of the event.
I would highly recommend checking it out on either VHS or DVD.

I always wondered why this documentary was made so conveniently at the same time of the screw job...

I always wondered why this documentary was made so conveniently at the same time of the screw job... let the conspirces begin. Yeah alot of conveint things happened. I still wonder if not for Owen's death perhaps they would come out and say it was worked. Though I still say it was real. It would seem like someone would have come forward by now. |

It's a very good documentary I though. Definitely biased toward Bret, but a good documentary nonetheless.
