Not a documentary.

This is a completely scripted movie with some old CZW clips. It might be interesting if you haven't seen those old matches, but if you hadn't you wouldn't even know this exists.

A "Sick" Study of Pain

An amazing wrestling documentary and a profound character study. It really delves into the career and mindset of Nick Mondo and why he did the ultra-violent stunts on the ring. The film also explores the consequences of his legacy and how he deals with that. It is a must watch !

Not just for wrestling fans!

I've never been a big wrestling fan, but I enjoyed this! It really captured this weird, crazy, shocking world of death-match wrestling and why people step into the ring and do this. Even though I still can't understand why anyone would want to do this, I found it fascinating! But be warned - it is bloody and hard to watch at times.

Crazy fun

Is wrestling fixed? Who cares when it's this much fun? Madly involving, loud and proud, this indie doc pulls no punches. Fascinating. It's a must watch for any wrestling fan.

Wildly Intense and straight up bold.

Wildly Intense and straight up bold. This documentary gets right in your face and doesn't hold anything back. First time I hear about wrestler Nick Mondo's life and I was quite taken by his story right away. Very intriguing. It's a must watch for sure.
