Synopsis

This documentary focuses on the lives of professional wrestlers Terry Funk, Mick Foley (Mankind), Jake Roberts (Jake the Snake) and Darren Drozdov (Droz). As the film progresses, the story of their lives unfolds, as we also learn how the wrestling industry is not the plastic-weapons fake-slap sideshow that many have perceived it as. We are shown how moves, although not actually injuring anyone, are not fake, and extreme training is required to be able to perform the stunts without being harmed. We are also treated to interviews with the family of Mick Foley and what it is like for them to know their father literally puts his life on the line every week and how it feels to have other children call their father a "fake". Vince McMahon, owner of World Wrestling Entertainment, also makes a few appearances, responding to criticism on various wrestling situations, including, once again, his real athletes, very real organization being called fake by sources such as USA Today and various news programs.

User reviews

Richard Adams
2/10

The choice of songs in the soundtrack sometimes felt out of place and disconnected from the narrative. Instead of complementing the intense and raw emotions portrayed on screen, the music at times seemed to distract from the gravity of the situations being discussed. It created a jarring experience for me as a viewer.

Ronald Allen
3/10

I found the soundtrack of Beyond the Mat to be quite generic and uninspiring. The music did not enhance the emotional impact of the documentary or add depth to the stories being told. It felt like a missed opportunity to elevate the viewing experience.

Each track in the soundtrack evokes a range of emotions, from adrenaline-pumping excitement during the wrestling matches to poignant moments of reflection on the sacrifices and struggles of the wrestlers.

The soundtrack of Beyond the Mat perfectly captures the emotional depth of the documentary, enhancing the storytelling and immersing the audience in the lives of the professional wrestlers.
