From PWInsider:
A new documentary, "Pro Wrestler" has been released. A first film from director Kenny Johnson, the film focuses on the lives of a number of stars working the Northeast independent circuit. I had a chance to watch the film last night and was extremely impressed with it.
The official synopsis of the film: "Follow Kenny Johnson, during his directorial debut, as he embeds himself in the world of independent professional wrestling. Along the way he tells the stories of 5 unique performers at very different points in their careers and lives.
First, is Greg Excellent's journey from wrestling in his backyard to owning and promoting his own company Ground Breaking Wrestling. Second, shows the Real Adam Cole at home and bad guy he portrays in the ring. Third, is Ryan McBride working the main event in Maryland and coming to a crossroad in his professional wrestling life and his life outside the ring. And finally is JT Roberts and CORE juggling the responsibilities of marriage and children, while questioning how much longer they have left in the world of indy wrestling.
Yes, professional wrestling is fake and pre-determined. But its very real to the individuals that dedicate their time and sacrifice their bodies for the thrill of the spotlight."
