This is the best movie ever made about wrestling. However, Bret Hart made his first apperarance in a WWF ring last night since the screw job, and he lets Vince kick him in the gut? Bret, I was gonna buy your book anyway, do you have to let the devil himself promote it? And humiliate you again in the ring? I hope you got at least a million to do it…..I’m not too happy.
WWF sucks now without Bret, Austin and Hogan, I’m really glad now that I don’t watch it no more.

I have been looking forward to watching this for quite some time now; the documentary “wrestling with shadows” is fascinating enough. I’ve got to say though, that Bret comes off as being very bitter and full of regret; not the best way for people to remember one of the all time greats. The drama and politicing are very interesting and provide lots of insight into the wrestling biz, but I can’t help but feeling that this is a bitter propaganda piece meant to smear Vinnie Mac. The real heart of this set comes through in disc 2, which chronicles the life and death of Owen. It also features interviews with the filmaker and Bret from 10 years after the movie release, which shows Bret in a much more thoughtful (and less bitter) light. A word of warning: this movie is a DVD-R; worth every penny for a die-hard fan, but non-collectors may be a bit put off.

i have watched this documentary over and over it never gets old. bret hart was my favorite wrestler growing up and to see his career in the wwf end like it did was truly heartbreaking. wrestling with shadows is a movie about what goes on behind the curtain,how match outcomes are determined etc.. its a story of loyalty and betrayal. a must have for any wrestling fan. i also enjoyed the bonus dvd the life and death of owen hart it takes you through his whole career leading up to the circumstances surrounding his untimely death in 1999.it was shorter than bret’s but i still enjoyed it.

I am a pleased owner of this two disc set and its an amazing documentary. I love documentaries and this is one of my all time favorite films. I don’t want to get into a debate of wrestling and its sub plots but lets suffice to say this exposes much of the hype and behind the scenes politics. The back stabbing that went on during this period are legendary in wrestling circles and the actors/athletes that double crossed Brett Hart went on to make a fortune in the game which shows you how little honor has to do with anything anymore. The bonus disc on his brother Owen who tragically died in a poorly planned and ridiculously dangerous stunt in conjunction with another event could be of interest again to non wrestling fans. I can’t recommend this highly enough truly a 5 star film.
