If it's not showing up in one, try the other. I'm terribly ignorant on how Facebook videos interact with our boards, I'm too used to Youtube.

First link's working for me.

I recall Cornette saying the Knoxville promotional war hurt the town, and suggested there was a Tenessee newspaper article/s that exposed in the business, though I haven't found any evidence of such.
Is it possible that this was indeed a nuclear option by Fuller's opposition to take him down for good?

I knew it was going to be gold when Roop called it a "documentation" at the beginning

I'm at Bob Orton's part, and damn, I wonder if this is what Mick was talking about when he said he saw wrestlers who irreparably damaged their relationship with their kids by not smartening them up to the business when they were young.

I'd say Cornette doesn't use Wright for Smoky Mountain, but I think even he'd relent if he thought Wright would still be worth the paycheck as a draw. |

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
Ronnie Garvin saying that he just like Boris Malenko were just actors HAHAHAHAHAHAH. The same Boris Malenko who would challenge the Grahams to fights.
I loved how they all looked ashamed to be wrestlers and being involved in a farce. “I’ve been wrestling twenty seven years and never once did I have a real match”
Bob Roop used to stretch out rookies and fans to protect the business, it’s ironic that he would’ve been the first one on tape to expose it.
This shit looked like and AA meeting, like they were sorry that they were lying to the public.
What could’ve been the ramifications if this actually aired? The 20/20 special had lesser known guys like Eddie Mansfield and Jim Wilson. This actually had real stars.
It’s also hilarious how Lou Thesz claimed that he was in real shoots when two of his contemporaries admitted that they never had a real match in all of their life, and that they were nothing but actors.
Someone please show this to Low Ki. It’s not real you’re all actors!

Bob Orton Jr: Daddy are you blind? Sr: No Bobby, don’t worry it’s all fake bullshit. |

Garvin's entire segment had me dying laughing...The dude just fed his own ego the entire time...I had to stop it when he nonchalantly said "I am pretty calm" lol |

Really interesting watch. Orton seemed to be the only one with any mic/camera presence. And man, he looks just like Randy. Really hope the other segments are leaked if they were ever shot.

Would have appreciated the spoiler alert guys.
Not on wrestling being fake, but Ronnie Garvin being Howard Wolowitz’s long lost father.

Apparently this was shot by Fred Falin in the middle of the night at WKPT TV in Kingsport.
