Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Best movie ever!

A Disappointing Continuation

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Short Review: Hard Knock's is a well made documentary and while not as impressive as Beyond the Mat it is enjoyable to watch and I would recommend it to anyone as although it's a British video, the story is the same across North America. I would have liked for the documentary to run longer than it did and felt I wanted more so with it coming in at just 40 minutes I did find myself hit the repeat button straight away because I wanted to see it again.If your interested in a behind the scenes look at wrestling that isn't a WWE or TNA production then this is something I would suggest you check out.

Hard Knocks is a solid documentary covering professional wrestling in Great Britain. Mixing quotes from workers, fans and promoters with viewpoints by skeptics and great in-ring footage this is a worthwhile addition to any wrestling fans library. Includes in-ring and promos from CM Punk, Al Snow, Hardcore Holly and D-Lo Brown and many others. I enjoyed the insight and the different perspectives provided in this documentary. The DVD also includes over 80 minutes of deleted scenes featuring Chris Masters and many other wrestlers. Hard Knocks also includes footage from wrestling schools and indie feds in the UK. Included in the movie are CM Punk being entertaining as usual during a question and answer session with potential wrestlers and fans and Hardcore legend Mick Foley. Well made with a solid score and steady direction I am glad this movie is part of my collection. Jobber Joe panelist on Roundtable Wrestling Radio and author of Wrestling With Sports and Entertainment
