Favorite Wrestling Documentary

[st0rmb11]

Not sure if this has ever been a topic (I've only come into the wrestling section of Operation Sports a couple of times).

but I recently got my hands on several WWE documentaries about various things (Triple H - The Game, both Hardy Boyz documentaries - Twist of Fate and Leap of Faith, Behind The Walls of Chris Jericho, The Stone Cold Truth, WWE vs WCW Monday Night Wars, The Rise & Fall of WCW, and a few others).

and I'm trying to get a hold of several others. but anyway, I was wondering - those of you that have or collect several of these DVDs and VHSs, what's your favorite WWE documentary you've seen?

My favorite, probably because I'm a huge fan of them, is the more recent of the Hardy Boyz ones (Twist of Fate).
Also, Behind The Walls of Chris Jericho is tremendous, as is Shawn Michaels: Heartbreak & Triumph.

I enjoyed the docs for Monday Night Wars, Rise + Fall of ECW, Ric Flair & the Four Horsemen, Mr. Perfect, Ricky Steamboat, Bret Hart, and Chris Jericho. I really wish the Randy Savage collection had one.

Being a die-hard Jeff Hardy fan, my favorite wrestling documentary would probably have to be "My Life, My Rules".

Re: Favorite Wrestling Documentary

I own every WWE documentary released, and the Rise and Fall of ECW is the most comprehensive title you can get your hands on. The Flair/Horsemen and the Flair solo docs are both great as well. Honestly, all of them were fantastic up until about the Steamboat release. Since then, they have been short and sweet, nothing that a fan doesn't already know, with the exception of the True Story of Wrestlemania. Excellent release.

yeah, I've been trying to get my hands on that one. definitely one of my favorite wrestlers ever. do you have his TNA Enigma DVD? not really much as far as telling you about Jeff Hardy, but a good collection of some of his early TNA work.

i've been trying to get my hands on it; as you said it doesn't tell you a lot about him, but still grasps the concept of his TNA work.

I heard the 4 horseman one was a lot of Kay fabe. For that reason, I havent picked it up.

Re: Favorite Wrestling Documentary

Kayfabe is part of every WWE doc usually involving guys staying in character or worked injuries. The 4H doc seemed way more authentic than most.

Re: Favorite Wrestling Documentary

I havent watched a lot, but I really enjoyed the Rise and fall of WCW. For someone relatively new to wrestling, it explained alot and kind of pulled me into how we got to where we are today.

Just finished watching 'Wrestling Road Diaries' featuring Colt Cabana, 'Daniel' Bryan Danielson and Sal Rinauro.

It was just a really light-hearted and interesting look at a few weeks on the wrestling circuit, and I really enjoyed it.

I'd like to catch that sometime. When does it take place in relation to Bryan's time in the WWE?

Re: Favorite Wrestling Documentary

keep seeing people mention The Rise & Fall of WCW as one of their favorites. have to agree. tremendous watch. and the selection of matches is pretty good, as well

have any of you watched The Rise & Fall of ECW? curious as to how good that one is.

Rise and Fall of ECW was easily my favorite. Very in depth and thorough.

does it spend anytime touching on the Eric Kulas incident? all I've heard about that was from the side of the lawyers and his family. never heard Paul Heyman's side of things.

That's the Mass Transit Incident right? If so, they touch on it briefly and that the boy was underage and while all charges against New Jack were dropped it did affect the companies PPV options, which if I am not mistaken was set to start PPVs around that time.
