Sadly, it will only confirm most of the preconcieved notions people have about wrestling. It'll probably be very good doc though :manny:

I wonder who they'll get for the interviews. Will WWE help or they'll have to manage with guys like Bill Apter and Meltzer (the retakes they'd have to do for Dave's stuttering ass :laugh:).

Also what access will they get to footage? It would be funny if what they have is goodhelmet's massive comp from a couple of years ago.

This is a good choice - I doubt they would ever do Benoit though. Vince would fight that so hard - I wouldn't even want them to do a Benoit one to be honest. I remember on a Bill Simmons podcast awhile back - he was saying they wanted to do Andre the Giant but the WWE footage was too costly.

I would love to watch an in-depth doc about The Sheik, Abby, Brody, Terry Funk and the begginings of real hardcore wrestling. Give a close look on their careers after they started doing hardcore stuff. How Sheik destroyed his own territory, Brody's death, Terry's path to becoming the legend of hc (IWA, FMW, ECW, etc.)
