Review of Beyond the Mat (1999) by Mark D — 30 Jun 2007
Yes wrestling is staged, yes, the lines are scripted and the wrestlers (in most instanced) know the outcome of the matches, but at the same time, the bumps are very real, the blood is very real, and paid these guys go through every night for the sake of the fans is very real.
This documentary looks into why the people that take part in professional wrestling put their bodies, and their lives, on the line all in the name of sports entertainment. Very revealing insight.
