WWE: 15 Greatest Wrestling Documentaries Of All Time

4. CM Punk: Best in the World

One of the most hotly anticipated WWE DVDs of 2012, CM Punk: Best in the World includes a feature length documentary and plenty of great matches from ECW, Raw and pay-per-view. What sets Best in the World apart from other WWE-produced documentaries, however, is the level of creative control Punk had over the project. For example, the film contains footage from his days in IWA Mid-South €“ which is virtually unprecedented given WWE€™s unwillingness to acknowledge other promotions. It even touches upon Punk€™s backyard wrestling days, in spite of the fact WWE likes to emphasize their performers€™ professional training. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g27FrES5JY Best in the World is surprisingly critical of the WWE€™s developmental process and, in a revealing segment, Michael Hayes explains why wrestlers favored by Paul Heyman have historically been stigmatized by the company. As far as WWE documentaries go, CM Punk: Best in the World is flawless. Buy this, like, now.
