Beyond the Mat

In this behind-the-circus documentary, Barry Blaustein exposes the fascinating reality of pro wrestling. Sobering interviews and graphic footage portray a workplace where aging wrestlers (doped up on pain pills) risk their lives on the mat and traumatized children watch Daddy get beaten to a pulp. Wrestlers Jake “the Snake” Roberts, Terry Funk and Mick Foley appear as themselves, along with World Wrestling Entertainment head honcho Vince McMahon.
