This documentary focuses on the lives of professional wrestlers Terry Funk, Mick Foley (Mankind), Jake Roberts (Jake the Snake), and Darren Drozdov (Droz). As the film progresses the story of their lives unfolds, as well as we learn how the wrestling industry is not the plastic-weapons fake-slap sideshow that many have perceived it as. We are shown how moves, although not actually injuring anyone, are not fake, and extreme training is required to be able to perform the stunts without being harmed. We are also treated to interviews with the family of Mick Foley and what it is like for them to know their father literally puts his life on the line every week and how it feels to have other children call their father a "fake". Vince McMahon, owner of World Wrestling Federation Entertainment, also makes a few appearances, responding to criticism on various wrestling situations, including, once again, his real athletes very real organization being called fake by sources such as USA Today and various news programs.

I remember watching this when I was alot younger.

Yeah this movie is crazy. This has Jake the Snake when he's fat and going through drug/family problems right? And then Mick Foley getting smashed in the head by the Rock like 20 times in a fight? And his kids screaming in the audience with their mother?

And then shows Droz talking to Mcmahon and demonstrating how to puke?

First, stop giving away 90% of the movie. I don't know who hasn't seen it, but if they haven't you just told them damn near the entire documentary. None the less I remember that. It was a disturbing image, cause they transition from clips of him playing with his kids while he is being beaten with the chair. Then they show his kids crying and screaming for daddy, it was actually pretty sad.

that scene was definately hard to watch. what was he thinking letting his kids come watch that in the first place? you can tell a kid all damn day its not real, but they are always more inclined to believe their eyes than any words.

it was messed up when Kali smashed Rey and his wife and kids were crying

looked like child abuse

You know that's a good question, you can't really accuse Foley of being the brightest light in the house, but something tells me that taking your kids to see you take some of the worst bumps of your career counts as bad parenting. I guess he wanted his wife to be there, or wanted to spend time with his kids or something. It was kinda cool seeing the kids interact with The Rock before the match though.

Rep anyone?
