We don't have a thread like that yet, do we?

I am a big fan of Indy-Wrestling documentaries, these ones I watched yesterday (are youtube links okay, EVP?). Cannot find the stupid youtube embedding button...


The Shooting Range: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SGHvfTmCOg

Interviews for example Sandman, Vampiro, Vic Grimes and New Jack. New Jack either never breaks kayfabe, or he is one of the dumbest people alive...



Slammed: Inside Indie Wrestling
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edQsV...eature=related

A National Geographic documentary that follows two Indie Wrestlers on their "journey" to a ROH trial. Also about a New Jersey Indy Promotion



Slammed: Trailer? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E1eH...eature=related

Not sure what this one is. 5 Minutes long trailer of a show that never really made it and maybe resulted in the NatGeo documentary? Anyway, includes Snitsky and Balls Mahoney.

Any other recommendations?

I saw a few recently among them Card Subject to Change which is almost exactly like Slammed featuring the same promoter Johnny Falco but with different wrestlers like Lacey Von Erich. Here's the trailer.



Another one is Memphis Heat: The true story of memphis wrasslin'

Talks about the glory days of Memphis Wrestling featuring Jerry the King Lawler, Bill Dundee, Jimmy Hart among others.

Trailer:

Do you want the WWE Documentaries that they use for a lot of great wrestlers, as well? Or you have already seen them and rather pass on them.

The WWE ones are generally but then I thought they would be. I recommend the ones on: Jake Roberts, WCCW, and Billy Graham. The Legends of Wrestling roundtables can be quite good also, and cover a wide variety of topics.

My two favourite documentaries are Beyond The Mat and Wrestling With Shadows. If you haven't seen them then 101 Reasons Not To Be A Pro Wrestler and Forever Hardcore were both worth a watch.

An indy company started a show which I think was called Wrestling Revolution, the premise being half backstage documentary and half the actual wrestling shows. I saw the first couple of episodes but I don't know if they made anymore than that.
