When i bought this video i was expecting a Warts and all look at the american WWF. The Video said on the cover "Vince McMahon has declared war on beyond the matt" and "What they dont want you to see". Could someone tell me why? This film says nothing that harms WWF in fact it promotes if anything. The film Follows 3 Wrestlers ,Jake the Snake Roberts,Mick Foley and Terry Funk . Roberts is a Sad Junkie who still does the small Curcuit.Funk is a near Cripple who is battling with himself and retirement and Mick Foley who is one WWF's top stars. What this film shows is that these people REALLY do get hurt badly even though the shows are staged and the fighters are good friends behind the scenes. As i was saying the only thing that exposes the WWF in any way in this film is that the fights are staged but we knew that anyway. Call me cinical but i would say this film was funded by Mcmahon to show that the fighters get hurt and the the bouts are a risk to the fighters giving the fans another reason to watch the pay per view. If you want to see a film that exposes the WWF better watch Brett Hart:Fighting in shadows. 7 out of 10.
