Barbed Wire City: The Unauthorized Story of Extreme Championship Wrestling is an
independent documentary film that studies the history of, and people who made,
Extreme Championship Wrestling a cult sensation in the 1990s. The film takes an
intimate look at this subculture and finds a very human story about athletes who
see themselves as entertainers, and were willing to take massive amounts of
punishment for little money based on the promise of something more within their
industry. This is a film about culture and human beings-who just happen to use
tables and chairs and violent acts as part of their performance art. This
documentary is not owned or supported by the WWE.
