I saw this over 20 years ago when it first aired on Discovery. Based at the UPW training school in Orange County. This docu has footage from early in the careers of John Cena and Heidenreich.

I remember this, in addition to Cena there was also Michael
Modest and Samoa Joe. This thing played all the time when it came out and I watched roughly 75% of the time.
Wrestling was everywhere during that peak.

I have this documentary. It’s ironic and amazing how different Cena looked back then and how he evolved. They even show a local car dealership ad that he started in. Who can forget this quote:
“I am going to keep this title forever.”
I didn’t know it featured Samoa Joe and Heidenreich.
Also, there was that one guy who got in trouble with the law and wasn’t eligible for parole until 2005. What happened to him?

It blows my mind that they selected a random indy/ training school to make a documentary about & it just happens to feature one of the biggest stars of all time in his early days.
Like what are the odds?
