There's No Script For What Happens Outside The Ring!
Its supposed to be fun. It's not supposed to be real. But behind-the-scenes it's a whole different story. Now, for the first time ever, in this expanded and unrated director's cut, you'll learn the real story. Join Mick Foley, Jake "the Snake" Roberts and Terry Funk for a no-holds-barred look into the wild world of professional wrestling. Uncover their secrets and their nightmares. This extraordinary version also contains controversial additional footage of Vince McMahon. And new footage of Mick Foley backstage after his brutal Royal Rumble match. It's time to go beyond the spotlight, beyond the pain, Beyond The Mat.
Barry Blaustein's critically acclaimed documentary about wrestling takes viewers beyond the ring and into the lives of the men and women who inhabit this colorful, competitive, and surprisingly complex world. During the five years he spent working on the film, Blaustein discovered that the control wrestlers exert in the ring is often contrasted by the lack of control they have in their own lives. Some pursue dreams--others are pursued by personal demons. Always relaying his love and respect for his subject matter, Blaustein travels on the open road with the wrestlers, shares their most intimate moments with their families, and witnesses their victories and defeats in the ring. |
