## Resource

"There's no script for what happens outside the ring." Braden Herrington and Davie Portman review the 1999 pro wrestling documentary directed, written, produced and narrated by Barry Blaustein ! (Originally recorded in February, 2026 for the POISONRANA Patreon ) The BDE chat all about this movie that takes a look behind the curtain of pro wrestling, focusing on the real stories that take place outside of the squared circle. (As selected by Family member patron Jake!) Featuring Vince McMahon and the WWF, Terry Funk and his "retirement" in 1997, Mick Foley and his family, Jake the Snake Roberts battling with his demons, New Jack auditioning for movies, Paul Heyman and ECW, Droz trying to puke, and more! The lads discuss the emotional real life stories that are in this film, the comparisons to WWE Unreal & Dark Side of the Ring, and where some of the people featured in the movie ended up all these years later, plus some trivia and so much more!
