8. A 'Yes' From ECW
Likewise, in a bid to cover as many facets of the business as possible, it would have been absurd of Blaustein to have not made a pitstop at ECW. Fortunately, this renegade promotion received ample coverage.
So how do you skirt past the extreme side of ECW? Well, you don't. But alongside this, you also show that it is a driven endeavour with the purpose of entertaining the crowd and empowering the talent. Paul Heyman's numerous testimonies of his work, and of the business itself, are arguably the most charismatic displayed from anybody in the movie.
Impartiality is something that will be praised a few times on this list, and for a company that advocated excessive blood and carnage as a prerequisite, it was pretty rewarding for the viewer to uncover the solidarity and family values that Heyman instilled in his disciples while the cameras were rolling. The documentary dug so deep in fact, that we even saw New Jack as a guy with a nice side. Such perspectives were nothing short of enlightening.
