Talking about Owen Hart and putting up a picture of Chris Benoit... Aside from the obvious, that's not ok. But factoring that in too... oh god I'm actually kinda upset by that.

[@mgunter]

better than CNN putting up a picture of the british bulldog when talking about owen hart.

[@ArchmageOfAnarchy]

Hell, the most funny one I ever saw was here in the UK. BBC News was talking about the United Nations Security Council (the UNSC) so obviously they just googled "UNSC Logo". So, on a live news report, in front of thousands of people, they put up a picture of the UNSC logo from Halo. As in the United Nations Space Command.

Otis Meehan that's not true, authorized documentaries are many times just propaganda and revisionist history like we see with WWE's documentaries. There can be good unauthorized docs, but this ain't one of them.

[@sharona1981]

This is one of the most unintentionally hilarious 'documentaries' I have ever seen. Did they actually think any self-respecting wrestling fan would take this seriously? It was clearly made in a rush, without any real research, and good lord, the random SCREAMING. Absolute crap. Just as an aside Brian, I honestly don't think I've ever seen you get so frustrated about anything before. To be fair though, that Pegasus Kid/Blue Blazer mixup was pretty unforgivable.

[@DVDPromotions]

Great review Brian, another decent video. I remember buying this DVD a number of years ago, about 2009 from a poundshop here in the U.K. I forgot how inaccurate it actually was. The most entertaining part of the film was the screaming man spitting blood! Great memories...

I say screw this, Brian should get the award for all the crap he sits through just to educate and warn all of us not to waste our time with this garbage. Zane for Hall Of Fame!

[@rojoshow13]

I hate when I watch a documentary and there's blatantly incorrect information. I hate it even more when its a topic I love, like wrestling. I think my favorite wrestling documentary is "The Unreal Story of Professional Wrestling". The only problem I would have with it now is that it needs to be updated because it was made during the peak of the Monday night wars and it says that there's currently 2 big promotions that dominate the industry. It was correct at the time but if they added an appendage to the film that would be nice. I think "Beyond the Mat" would be my second favorite wrestling documentary and "Body Slam" with Roddy Piper would be 3rd. JK, its not a documentary. "Wrestling with Shadows" is 3rd. Of course you could count all the DVDs that WWE has released over the years as documentaries. And some of those are really interesting. Also, the WWE Network series "Monday Night Wars" is technically a documentary I guess, and that's really good too.
