10 Best Wrestling Documentaries Ever

It's hard to imagine a documentary so revealing - Hart, at one point, literally wires up to secretly record a candid backstage conversation with Vince McMahon - being produced today (not without a lot of people losing their jobs, anyway).

But Bret Hart in 1997, soon to be departing for the greener pastures of Ted Turner's WCW, had nothing really to lose - and, since he was fighting against the perception that he was walking out on the company that made him a star (which, as we learn, wasn't quite the way things really were), quite a lot to gain.

While you can't really go into Wrestling With Shadows expecting to hear a truly balanced account of what really went down during the Hitman's final year on the books of the WWF, it does, all the same, offer an extremely up close version of events.

If nothing else, you have to watch the final 10 or 15 minutes, wherein the viewer is taken inside the tense locker room at the conclusion of Survivor Series, with Shawn "God Is My Witness" Michaels claiming he had no idea what was planned, and Bret's wife furiously admonishing Triple H in the belief that he was in on the whole thing.
