10 Best Wrestling Documentaries Ever

There are no shortage of Paul Heyman interviews to devour during your spare time on YouTube, but - being among the more committed wrestling personalities - it's rare that Brock Lesnar's advocate ever allows his kayfabe mask to slip.

This is what makes Ladies and Gentlemen, My Name is Paul Heyman (despite its, frankly, silly name) a must watch documentary. It takes you behind the man you have watched play one of wrestling's greatest heels, showing him interacting playfully with his fellow professionals and generally talking incredibly candidly about his whirlwind life both behind and in front of the camera.

At two hours - and without much match footage (obviously) - it's a long watch, but it's also utterly hypnotising because the subject matter is so effortlessly interesting, comprising both his ultimately doomed attempt to keep ECW afloat and his work, helping young wrestlers find their niche, in WWE.

It's excellent, frankly, and if you're in any doubt as to whether a WWE-produced documentary can also be authentic: remember, the story is largely told by Heyman himself.
