This was an episode of a BBC documentary series on subcultures in the US this episode was about Wrestling. Iit was aired in like 99/00. Before 2001 anywway because WCW features heavily.
I wondered if anyone on the forum had seen it because i highly recomend. It featues Luis going behind the scens on a Nitro show (the episode Flair was taken to a mental institution by Roddy Piper) and meets a lot of familiar faces.
Raven appears fitrst posing the 'do you know who i am?' question. Saying Theroux should do his dang research.
Savage refuses to talk.
Piper stiops to chat and does mind answering his question and explains what he is doin on the show and shows Louis his wrestlign gear.
Goldberg also stops to chat and Theroux recognises him saying he is the top wrestler in the US. Goldberg at least gives himt he time but doesnt say much.
Alex Wright is spotted and explains he is re-debuting as 'Alexander Wright' because americans did not get the 'dancing to techno' gimmick. Wright has a blue mohawk on this and a goatee beard.
We also see Finlay in the background with spiky bleached hair.
Lousi watches the show and asks the trainer if he can take part in the WCW Powerplant.
Louis then explores indepenent/hardcore wrestling. He goes to the people from AIWF. and meetsthe guys in charge. these guys have a great alugh with him and answer anythign he asks. also let him hlep set up the ring and invite him to take bumps.
Lopuis watches the showand is shocked by the amount of violence and bloodshed.
Louis then goes to the Poerplant where thety train him to cut promos and to work out. We see Chuck Palumbo at this point.
I will let you find out for yourself how it goes, it will be on youtube/daily motion i guess
