NEW ECW DOCUMENTARY DETAILS

By Mike Johnson on 2012-07-02 09:49:44
A new documentary on Extreme Championship Wrestling is about to go into the final stages of production as interviews are being completed this week.

While there have been a number of documentaries on the promotion, what makes this one unique is that it was actually the first such project in production as interviews were conducted as far back as 2001 when the promotion originally closed down, including footage of a lot of wrestlers during a time period they were upset over the company going bankrupt. One theme in the film will be catching up with them over time.

With the other documentaries being released and other projects needing to be worked on, the film has been in start/stop mode and is finally closing up on interviews with 50 hours of footage shot and over 60 interviews with former ECW wrestlers, personalities, fans and writers interviewed.

We'll have more details on the project in the weeks to come.

Note: In the interest of full disclosure, I was interviewed for several hours over the weekend by the documentary's director and producer but have no official relationship to the project.
