Because of this, any performer that broke character, would reach far-reaching ramifications. While, today, most wrestlers are more open about talking the inside secrets about the business at the time, the professional wrestling organizations worked to maintain the illusion of story lines and characters, in a moral code matter called 'kayfabe'.
Without spoiling the movie, too much, this documentary directed by Paul Jay not only shows an insight into wrestling's biggest star at the time, but also the wrestling business itself and the most controversial non scripted legit incident coined simply as 'the Montreal Screw Job' at the 1997's 'Survivor Series' PPV. A must-watch.įilmed at the peak of the Monday night ratings war, the movie takes an inside look at the final year of Bret Hart's career with the wrestling promotion, The World Wrestling Federation, (now World Wrestling Entertainment). Reviewed by ironhorse_iv 8 / 10 Wrestling with Shadows is a Grand Slam. You will never look at wrestling in the same way again. Watch this documentary to see the story of one of those people. Wrestling is changing for the worse, and the people involved in it are not the superhuman beings one may think they are.
You have to feel for people like Bret and other wrestlers like him. This documentary just goes to show that, sadly, there is no more room left for honest wrestlers like Bret Hart. The sport he loved as a child and grew up in has changed around him. One day, the world of wrestling changed around him. You will see Bret is just a man trying to make a living in the world of wrestling. After seeing this, I see that Bret Hart is one of the few honest men left in wrestling. This documentary will show you what goes on behind the scenes and show you what kind of people work in "the circus". You will see a side that you thought never existed. Wrestling with Shadows opens a wrestling fan's eyes to the dark side of wrestling.
