One of my favorite documentaries of all time. Billy Mitchell plays the WWE like villain so well and the editing is done perfectly. If you actually follow the timeline not much here is "real" per say but never let the facts get in the way of a good story. From all accounts Billy is actually a really nice guy in real life. Ex: that tape scene "you can lose your luggage but do not lose this tape" . Billy was actually giving them a tape of WWE SummerSlam from that year so they could watch it at the get together.
Steve Weibe played the "get who can't get a break" so well. His wife clearly wishes she was with ANYONE else other than "the basketball" or "the Donkey Kong Guy"... Even his kids put him down about the Guinness book of world records "some people ruin their life to get in that book". You know those kids are just echoing moms words... But... Wow... I couldn't get behind anyone who doesn't stand up for themselves a little bit. I am sure he is also a really good guy in real life but he was portrayed terribly.
Walter Day is absolutely hilarious in this movie. Truly this is a must watch for any fans of classic gaming, pro wrestling and... Well Funspot as it is all over this film. Might as well be a giant commercial.
