Yes, I bought this brilliant DVD today for only a tenner. I won't say where I got it from (for legal reasons :D), but it was cheap and new. So, I rushed home, put it in my CDrom drive, and excitedly opened WinDVD. WOW. I was amazed at the extras and the intro, let alone the actual film. When into it, I was hooked to the monitor. Currently I'm at the New Jack chapter (chapter 10, which is half way through the film), and boy has it been a good watch. The reason I made this topic is for if you are wondering what DVD to buy next, or whether it's worth buying...I say it's worth it, and then some. You really find out the truth about Vince, and the McMahon family (I won't spoil it for anyone). And you get to see backstage at ECW's first PPV, with Heyman really trying to put it right, and Terry Funk trying to entertain the crowds.It is definatly worth £10, or however much it is at a 'normal' computer/DVD retailer (well, Computer Exchange isn't really normal :D (oops, I told you where I got it)). I've seen it in shops for £15/£20. I'd pay that for the brilliant film.
I saw the ending before when it was on Sky premire or moviemax. Looked good and I really want to see it in full. I saw some of the Jake the snake and Mankind parts. I remember reading a review of it before and it was saying how Vince wanted it banned, wonder why...
I taped it from Front Row PPV a few years ago, I might still have it, If I do I'm gonna watch it again. I doubt I still have it, but its an ace documentary.
It basically undercovers wrestling. It's only available on DVD I think, although I'm sure I've seen the VHS somewhere.
I've heard about it but what's it actually out and can you get it on VHS.
Just finished the DVD, very emotional near the end. You see how Jake Roberts daughter lived without her 'Daddy' and how Vince wouldn't let him have time off to spend with his family. Also at the end is Mankind at the Rumble in a WWE Championship 'I Quit' match against Corperate Rock, when he was screwed. He was brutally busted open by the Rock, bringing tears to the Foley family. Afterwards, he still walked away on his own two feet. Some parts are very upsetting. I've found out that Vince is a total a'hole and wrestling is more then what meets the eye, so to say. This has changed my veiw on wrestling as a whole. It's kinda off putting now that I've seen what happens. Great DVD though, I'd give it 9 out of 10 if I had to reveiw it, which I may do now.
