Lipstick & Dynamite - a great look at the early decades of womens wrestling
Southern Discomfort - neat little doc (by Fred Olen Ray of all people - he moonlights as a wrestler) about a local Alabama indy putting on a show.

I love Southern Discomfort. Sadly it is OOP. Got a copy years ago. And have shown it to many people. Love that Fred and Dave Friedman are in the documentary. And so far it's the only documentary I have seen that accurately shows how indie shows in tiny deep south towns are. Heroes of Burke County is a good one. It is what inspired $5 Wrestling. And is on the Highspots Network. Can't remember the name of it,but there is a neat docu about IWA deep south and their annual Carnage Cup show. This is also on the Highspots Network. |

Assuming the Andre documentary wasn't WWE produced (genuinely can't remember) I think that should be mentioned. I watched it over Christmas last year and thought it was excellent

Wrestling with Shadows was amazing, also I would consider Mickey Rourke's Wrestler a documentary just as much as any. Darren Aronofsky could have literally followed any combination of 1980s wrestlers and filmed almost the same scenes. I know some wrestlers, etc, hate it because it gives the impression everyone ends up like Randy, when the takeaway I think was more meant to be that he was a f***-up who squandered his body and money. If it was more true to most wrestlers' stories, I guess it'd have been less dramatic when he just sold real estate.  |

It was about 40 minutes which is really not enough for Andre but they had one show like that a week, I believe. When WWF came out with an Andre DVD (like an hour long) in the early 2000s I was hoping it was the A&E bio but was pretty disappointed when it was just a few Andre matches from the 1980s. It is pretty strange WWF never did come out with a definitive, if any, bio show on Andre. |

The BBC did two documentaries on ICW when they were becoming a hot thing in Scotland. They also done a piece on Viper as well.

Gentleman's Choice, The Chris Adams documentary. I read the name in the Apter mags for years but all I saw of him were his jobber days in WCW. Man he was one f'd up dude.
Jim Crockett Promotions - The Good Old Days.
The Dynamite Kid - A Matter Of Pride.

One I saw on A&E a lot was The Unreal Story of Pro Wrestling. It focuses on the relationship between wrestling and television and how much of a mainstay wrestling was for TV.

Bruno Sammartino: La Mia Mama. Bruno talks about his career, his life and most importantly, his mom. He even goes back to Italy. It's a bit on the obscure side (the doc was made by/for Pittsburgh CBS affiliate KDKA and only aired twice to my knowledge), but is damn good.

Lipstick & Dynamite - a great look at the early decades of womens wrestling Southern Discomfort - neat little doc (by Fred Olen Ray of all people - he moonlights as a wrestler) about a local Alabama indy putting on a show. Wait... the guy who made "Attack of the 60-Foot Centerfold", "Evil Toons", and "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers" is a wrestler? |
