Advantages: Great insight on what its like "behind the curtains". Disadvantages: Would of liked to of heard other wrestlers opinions
...If anyone is reading this who doesnt actually like wrestling, then dont worry, it really doesnt matter. This is no normal wrestlingDVD, its all about what goes on behind the scenes in the life of a professional wrestler.
This is a real life documentary following the ups & downs in the life of Bret "The Hitman" Hart and his final year with the WWF, and this documentary really did change the way that wrestling fans looked at the business and opened their eyes to a different side of professional wrestling.
It it a fantastic look at the life of a wrestler on the road, the story lines, the money, and th people involved.
It shows how Bret struggles to do what he thinks is the right for him, his family, his fans and the company that made him.
The documentary leads to the last few moments that ended up being the most famous incident...

...BEYOND THE MAT ISN'T FILMED AS A HOLLYWOOD BLOCKBUSTER WITH A MILLION POUND BUDGET, IT'S JUST A WRESTLING FAN FOLLOWING A DREAM OF MEATING THE SUPERSTARS AND FINDING OUT THE TRUTH BEHIND WRESTLING. DESPITE THIS IT PACKED AS MANY PUNCHES AS A WWF PAY PER VIEW. INTERVIEWS WITH THE LEGENDARY JAKE THE SNAKE ROBERTS TALKING ABOUT HIS ADDICTION TO CRACK, THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW FIXED THE MATCHES REALLY ARE AND FANTASTIC FOOTAGE OF THE JAPANESE DEATH MATCHES STARING SUCH GREATS AS TERRY FUNK AND NUMBER ONE BEST SELLING AUTHER AND WRESTLER MICK FOLEY. A MUST FOR ANY FAN OF WRESTLING BUT BEWARE THE TRUTH MAY JUST SHATTER YOUR WORLD....

Advantages: If you are an arm wrestling fan you might enjoy it Disadvantages: It's all pretty bad
...Over The Top. What a poor movie. Sylvester Stallone 'stars' in this as a trucker who is good at arm wrestling. So he travels the country to enter the world arm wrestling championships. And his kid is dragged along with him, for some stereotypical father and son sort out their problems and learn to bond with each other type pap. Arm wrestling is not the most exciting 'sport' around, all you really get to see is a bit of bulcging biceps and some grunting. Then Stallone flips his cap round and wins. This film would be better if the arm wrestling scenes were like the one in the fly, in which Jeff Goldblum snaps that guys arm ,and you get to see the bone. Unfortunately it isn't, so it sucks....
