Just wanted a nice fun thread with people about what they’ve seen or own. A couple I own I really enjoy are Championship Wrestling from Florida made by Highspots and the Paul heyman doc made by WWE.
Championship Wrestling from Florida is great in that it’s not a WWE production so most of the stories told seem more genuine and not so influenced.
The Paul Heyman doc I enjoyed in that I’ve always liked Heyman and found him to be an interesting character and person and the extras on the DVD are great too. I know his promo work as of late may not be good but lots of old promos on there that are fantastic.

For WWE releases the Rise and Fall of ECW, the Punk one and the Heyman one come to mind immediately. I think Jericho and Edge have decent docs on their DVD’s, Jake’s is definitely interesting

Some of my favorite documentaries I own:
Wrestling Queen (1973 doc about womens wrestling, focusing on Vivian Vachon)
Southern Discomfort: Wrestling on the Indie Circuit
Lipstick & Dynamite
I Like to Hurt People (Not a true documentary, but almost one. The "mockumentary" stuff accounts for maybe half the run time, if even that)

Bret Hart Anthology from WWE is a masterpiece.

I really enjoyed The Rise and Fall of ECW, Heartbreak & Triumph, and despite its short run time, the documentary that precedes the Essential Starrcade Collection.
I also love the Road Warriors doc, however I take a lot of what Animal says with a grain of salt.

I got it as "The Maim Event with Iron Sheik" one of the many re-titlings and re-releases Fred Olen Ray did of the film. doubletsblogofreviews.blogspot.com/2019/12/iron-sheik-maim-event-dvd.htmlTHat is my favorite non WWE made Documentary. Followed by Heroes of World Class. |

I barely got hold of it. When I was still working at my old video store, we received a list of titles that our distributor Ingram was clearing out of their warehouse that were nearly out of stock (10 or less on their shelves). I got my boss to put in a special order for myself, including this, the 70s TV movie Gargoyles and a couple of others. Of them all, the only one they still had a copy of when they received our order about an hour later was Discomfort. |

Made a bunch of the local guys a copy and it became a favorite.Then last year before Xmas discovered a slightly longer cut is out on DVD ,the one I linked to. And on Amazon Prime the long cut is on there as Alabama Outlaws. Appears to be at least 3 versions of the film. |
