| User ReviewCatherine PDrugs, denial, stage parents, and wrestling. And it all really happened in Texas in the 1980s. More real than wrestling should ever be. |
| User ReviewBryan NOne of the best wrestling documentaries ever made. A story of the red hot WCCW territory of the early 80's and the terrible tragedies that came with it. |
| User ReviewDevin SOne of the most tragic documentaries I've ever seen. What starts as a simple and a little too detailed story about the rise and evolution of a business in the first half becomes essential to illustrate everything going downhill in the second half with death after death after death and ends up an inspirational story of one man somehow standing after losing his family, friends, business, even the building that housed it all; all now non existant and just painful memories. |
| User ReviewAndrew Cawesome doc. Really makes you wish you lived in Texas during this time. Way better than the WWE version. |
| User ReviewGo Nick YourselfSuch a sad docu on the state of wrestling..it doesnt seem 2 have changed much either. |
| User ReviewAdam DGreat documentary of the pivotal product turn in professional wrestling. Also very sad, the Von Erichs would have any luck if they didnt have bad luck. |
| User ReviewIan RA tremendous documentary about quite possibly the most influential wrestling company of all time and how it all fell apart. Tragic and sad, the Von Erich deaths show a sobering look at the darker side of pro wrestling. |
| User ReviewBrody MA must see DVD for any wrestling fan.Kinda brings a tear to your eye |
| User ReviewJason HGood wrestling documentary for fans of this era. |
| User ReviewChris CThe most in depth look at the tragic story of the Von Erichs you could ask for. |
