The HBO Andre the Giant Doc was great. A&E has been airing a bunch of WWE Wrestler docs as of late, from Shawn Micheals to Macho Man Randy Savage to Rowdy Roddy Piper, and etc. I have seen a few of them, and they’re pretty good.

Another good wrestling documentary is "Beyond the Mat" from either 1999 or 2000 . It basically focuses on Terry Funk , Mick Foley and Jake Roberts as well as an up and comer who calls himself The Rock . Also along with other wrestlers as well as the man himself Vince McMahon and a skinny younger version of Paul Heyman are featured inside and outside of the ring in the crazy world of Pro Wrestling .

Here is the Directors cut trailer for this doc .

Another clip of the pre match backstage preps between the Rock and Foley before their infamous I quit match when the Rock defeats Mankind for the Championship belt .

When I heard Brian's Song it reminded me of

Something for Joey

Football Movie

about John Cappelletti and his young brother Joey .

Marc Singer a Canadian born actor was the lead .

"Rocky" shouldn't count as a Boxing movie. It's a love story first than a sport movie. Boxing was used a backdrop for the storyline.

Stallone stole that story from the life of Chuck Wepner
