Click the pic or the link to watch the trailer.

Very interested to hear about the road stories.

quote:

IN MOVIE THEATERS NATIONWIDE - THURSDAY, JULY 12 ONLY In the new feature-length documentary "350 Days," pro wrestling legends Bret Hart, Superstar Billy Graham, Paul Orndorff and dozens more peel back the curtain on the severe toll that 350 days a year on the road took on their bodies, families, marriages and psyches.

Its one of the reasons the smaller territories (small in size, not necessarily the pay) were so popular with wrestlers back in the day. Being able to wrestle 5-6 times a week and and spend most nights in your own bed was a nice change of pace.

Pacific Northwest Wrestling, as an example, didn't pay very well by the standards of the day but since it was such a compact territory it was popular with wrestlers because they could make shows and then drive back home easily.

Memphis, Calgary, and Mid-South, on the other hand, had spread out territories so at best you might get one or two nights a week to sleep at home. That sort of travel, combined with the wear and tear of the in ring stuff, can break someone's body down big time.

Anybody else going tonight? I'm going to the 7:00 show at Perkins Rowe. I'll be wearing a shirt matching my avi, with a black baseball cap & blue jeans.

Those guys are too old (besides Hart) for me to care.

I’ll be checking this out ASAP.


I just want a feature film based on all the stories from The Plane Ride From Hell.
Seems like it would be in Tarantino’s wheelhouse
