Trivia
According to director Paul Jay, after the incident in which Bret Hart punched Vince McMahon, McMahon refused to allow any footage or other wrestlers from WWF to appear in the film. WCW, the rival wrestling company, offered Jay a deal to show the film on pay-per-view. Jay was then offered a deal from WWF which would allow the footage and the wrestlers to appear as long as he turned the deal with WCW down. Jay believes that someone in WCW was an informant for McMahon.

The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be

Watching wrestling with shadows i noticed one thing that Vince Mcmahon forgot that when dealing with talent never burn your bridges. vince forgot this and now he's paying for it big time. this is one of the best documentaries on film.
