Award-Worthy Wrestling Documentary Bled Dry: The Legacy of the Tri-State Wrestling Alliance Now Streaming Worldwide on Kinema Following Successful Pennsylvania Premiere
AMBLER, Pa. Following a successful premiere at the historic Ambler Theater on July 12, filmmaker Ryan Kavanagh has officially released his latest feature-length documentary, Bled Dry: The Legacy of the Tri-State Wrestling Alliance, now available to stream exclusively on Kinema.
The premiere drew wrestling fans, historians, and industry legends to celebrate the long-overdue story of the Tri-State Wrestling Alliance (TWA), the groundbreaking Philadelphia-area promotion widely recognized as the precursor to Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). Through rare archival footage and in-depth interviews with the wrestlers, promoters, and personalities who lived it, Bled Dry documents how TWA helped reshape independent professional wrestling and laid the foundation for one of the industry's most influential movements.
The film was written and directed by Ryan Kavanagh, whose previous documentary, A Backyard in Delaware, chronicled the history of Jim Kettner's East Coast Wrestling Association (ECWA) and is currently available on Amazon Prime Video. Building on that acclaimed project, Kavanagh once again shines a spotlight on an important but often overlooked chapter of professional wrestling history.
One of the most memorable moments of the premiere came from legendary wrestling journalist and Hall of Fame personality Bill Apter, who praised the film by calling it "the greatest professional wrestling documentary I've ever seen." His comments were met with enthusiastic applause from the audience and underscored the film's impact on longtime fans of the sport.
Now, audiences everywhere can experience the documentary from home.

About the Film
Before ECW revolutionized professional wrestling in Philadelphia, there was the Tri-State Wrestling Alliance. Founded by Joel Goodhart, TWA introduced many of the innovations, talent, and presentation styles that would later influence an entire generation of wrestling promotions. Bled Dry tells that story through the voices of the people who built it, preserving an essential piece of wrestling history for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
